Culture and House form (Case study: Traditional houses in Tonekabon and Ramsar) by Abbas Yazdanfar, Bagher Hosseini, Mstafa Zaroudi

“…The hierarchy in the tables shows that the culture is associated with world-view of the people and can be seen in their everyday life, like the form of their houses. Taking this into account one can say that the culture adapts people’s life from one side and affects the shape of their life tools (like the architecture of their houses) from the other side. …”

Characterization of medical device constituents and development of duration-based non-cancer threshold of toxicological concern values by Taylor Builee, Todd A. Kennedy, Valériane Levelut, Megan A. Hahn, Stephen Bond, Michael K. Peterson, Frances K. Hsia, Alessia Stornetta, Kristin J. Erickson, Kimberly D. Ehman, Bindu Prabhakar, Bradford D. Bagley, Sherry P. Parker

“…The NOAEL values selected as PODs for each constituent in each duration category were plotted using log-normally fitted cumulative frequency distributions, and an uncertainty factor of 100 (10 each for inter and intraspecies differences) was applied to the lowest fifth percentile NOAEL value extrapolated from each curve.ResultsThe resulting non-cancer TTC values for various exposure duration categories were 112 μg/kg/day for ≤ 1 day to 30 days, 111 μg/kg/day for 31 to 365 days and 41 μg/kg/day for ≥ 366 days.DiscussionThe proposed MD non-cancer TTC values followed the same approach as derivation of the Munro TTC values; however, they are derived exclusively from MD constituents with chemical-specific data for the appropriate period of assumed exposure to the constituent.…”
