Stochastic Dynamics of Emotional Characteristics of Cognitive Systems by A. A. Solodov, T. G. Trembach

“…This, in turn, made it possible to develop analytical relations for the relative amount of stress processed by the system for the current time. Thus, a model of the emotional state of the cognitive system (the development of the process of experiencing stress over time) is proposed in the form of a decreasing function of time with a certain time constant that characterizes the inertial properties of experiencing stress. …”

Costs of switching to low global warming potential inhalers. An economic and carbon footprint analysis of NHS prescription data in England by Alexander J K Wilkinson, James Smith, Rory Braggins, Ingeborg Steinbach

“…We also reviewed available data on the carbon footprint of inhalers from scientific publications, independently certified reports and patents to provide more accurate carbon footprint information on different types of inhalers.Results If MDIs using HFA propellant are replaced with the cheapest equivalent DPI, then for every 10% of MDIs changed to DPIs, drug costs decrease by £8.2M annually. However if the brands of DPIs stay the same as 2017 prescribing patterns, for every 10% of MDIs changed to DPIs, drug costs increase by £12.7M annually. …”

“…The ratio of collagen fibers I, II and IV types, as well as elastin protein provide support and elastic properties of the lamina cribrosa. Increased intraocular pressure on the background of involutional changes in the composition of the connective tissue of the lamina cribrosa leads to deformation of the latter, compression of nerve fibers passing through the holes in the lamina cribrosa and violation of the axoplasmic current. …”
