Numerical assessment of ICRF-specific plasma-wall interaction in the new ITER baseline using the SSWICH-SW code

In 2023, switching the material on the first wall of ITER to tungsten (W) was recommended.In magnetic Fusion devices, waves in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) interact with the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) via RF-sheath rectification.This Pterostilbene contribution re-assesses this phenomenon close to the ITER ICRF antenna, focusing on the

Green tea and cocoa enhance cognition in Lymnaea

A flavonoid, (-)-epicatechi (Epi), enhances long-term memory (LTM) formation in Lymnaea and reverses memory obstruction caused by stress.Many foods contain substantial amounts of Epi, (e.g.green tea and Sleeping Mask cocoa).In humans eating such foods may directly or indirectly enhance cognition.We directly test whether operant conditioning trainin

Mechanistic insights into zearalenone-accelerated colorectal cancer in mice using integrative multi-omics approaches

Zearalenone (ZEA), a secondary metabolite of Fusarium fungi found in cereal-based foods, promotes the Sleeping Mask growth of colon, breast, and prostate cancer cells in vitro.However, the lack of animal studies hinders a deeper mechanistic understanding of the cancer-promoting effects of ZEA.This study aimed to determine the effect of ZEA on colon
