Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE): Potential Application for Assessing the Use of Conventional and New Generation Tobacco and Nicotine Products by Scherer Gerhard, Pluym Nikola, Scherer Max

“…In a few studies, the minor tobacco alkaloid anabasine (AB) was measured in WW samples as a specific indicator for tobacco-containing products. The currently available results imply that AB in WW is decreasing faster over time than cotinine in WW does, suggesting that the use of tobacco products (mainly combustible cigarettes, CCs) is gradually replaced by tobacco-free nicotine products such as NRT products, ECs and others.…”

The Link between Ankylosing Spondylitis, Crohn’s Disease, Klebsiella, and Starch Consumption by Taha Rashid, Clyde Wilson, Alan Ebringer

“…Exposure to increased levels of these microbes will lead to the production of elevated levels of anti-Klebsiella antibodies as well as autoantibodies against cross-reactive self-antigens with resultant pathological lesions in the bowel and joints. Hence, a decrease of starch-containing products in the daily dietary intake could have a beneficial therapeutic effect on the disease especially when used in conjunction with the currently available medical therapies in the treatment of patients with AS and CD.…”

Study on Vertical Uplift Resistance Characteristics of Pre-Drilled Planted Piles in Boulder Strata by Wenli Liao, Qipeng Cai, Hao Lin, Jiajin Zhou, Shizhuo Su, Xiangyu Guo

“…The results indicate that the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of piles with boulders in the pile body is approximately twice that of piles without boulders, and this difference decreases with the increase of the distance between boulder and the pile end; under ultimate uplift loading, the pile end of a pile containing boulders contributes approximately 32% of the uplift bearing capacity, whereas the pile end without boulders contributes almost no uplift capacity; the presence of boulders increases the cross-sectional diameter of the pile, providing additional vertical support from the overlying soil, thereby significantly enhancing the ultimate uplift bearing capacity of the pile. …”
