Characterization of Fe-Containing and Pb-Containing Nanoparticles Resulting from Corrosion of Plumbing Materials in Tap Water Using a Hyphenated ATM-DMA-spICP-MS System Open
Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) has been used to characterize metallic nanoparticles (NPs) assuming that all NPs are spherical and composed of pure element. However, environmental NPs generally do no…

Effect of exercise training on blood pressure variability in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background and aims Targeting blood pressure variability (BPV) can potentially reduce cardiovascular events and incidence of mortality, but whether exercise reduces BPV remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis were d…

Effect of outdoor wind on the hybrid natural ventilation performance of monitor roofs Open
The monitor roof of a building has a raised structure running along the gable ridge, with its smaller roof parallel to the lower main roof. As a common building ventilation design, monitor roofs are expected to induce indoor airflow throug…

Influence of point-of-use dispensers on lead level assessment in drinking water of a lead pipe-free campus Open
Point-of-use (POU) dispensers, referring to those directly connected to the water supply lines, are widely used in public facilities such as schools and universities in Taiwan. These dispensers are equipped with filters that can remove con…

Monitoring and mitigation of sustained, localized pitting corrosion. Open
Many unexpected failures in pipelines and storage vessels can be traced to sustained, localized pitting (SLP) corrosion. Detecting such pitting is often difficult because standard corrosion probes can only measure generalized corrosion, no…

Do NOACs Improve Antithrombotic Therapy in Secondary Stroke Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation? Open
Guidelines recommended oral anticoagulant (OAC) for ischemic stroke patients related to atrial fibrillation (AF). But, underprescription or underdose of warfarin was observed worldwide. We aimed to explore if the use of antithrombotic ther…
