Cellulose Functional Gels: Physical Design and Promising Applications by Minxin Wang, Geyuan Jiang, Xiaoyu Guo, Suqing Zeng, Dawei Zhao

“…The macroscopic physical properties of cellulose gels can be shaped by constructing a gel network, which can be regulated by physical methods such as freezing, force induction, and heat treatment to adjust the mechanical properties, transparency, and thermal stability of cellulose. Additionally, structural design and self‐assembly of cellulose at the molecular level can endow cellulose gels with diverse functions, such as stretchability, high toughness, ionic conductivity, and self‐healing ability. …”

Morphological Characteristics and Lung Function of the Pilots of Montenegro Army by Boris Banjevic, Boris Zarkovic

“…The specificities of the body height of pilots as well as the excessiveness in their body weight were calculated, while the parameters of lung volumes and capacities and the parameters of the flow of respiratory passageways have shown the satisfactory condition of their respiratory function. In addition, it was shown that the pilots are soldiers without individual medical risks in the sense of obesity appearance or obstructive ventilation disturbances. …”
