We have unfortunately grown so used to living in the fast lane that we think it is normal. In fact, according to Sapolsky (2004), many of us are “stress junkies”—that is, we have become addicted to stress. But over time, all of the stresses can take their toll on our minds and...

Take breaks– Contrary to popular belief,taking breaks, if they are of the right kind, can increase productivity rather than decrease it. Avoid activities such as scrolling through social media or surfing the internet. Instead, take a short walk, have a healthy snack, or speak with your roomm...

to rigid ones, leading to a lower comprehensive cost that permits different mounting methods [73]. Additionally, the latest research also commented that a rigid PSC with a 17% PCE would require a minimum of 24 years to become competitive with silicon installed in a residential area. However, ...
Microorganisms have been used successfully for the past 50 years to promote environmental protection, agricultural biotechnology, and more effective treatment of agricultural and municipal waste. Many of these technological advances would not have been possible simply using chemical or physical methods, or...
Methods One hundred and eighty male Wistar–Kyoto rats, weighing 270–310 g, were used. All study animals were used in compliance with local and institutional regulations. The study conformed to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publicat...
Being able to predict this transitional effective stress with electrical measurements may be cardinal and useful in our quest to use non-invasive methods in the assessment and monitoring of potential instability conditions in the earth subsurface....
However, we are unable to estimate the effects of the acute myocardial infarction per se on lipid composition. It is expected some decrease in lipids due to the healing process involving the necrotic and ischemic myocardium, but these changes have been reported as insignificant in the following ...
