TLDR Zinc supplements improved hair loss in patients with zinc deficiency.

The document discussed the design and analysis of micro-turbogenerators, focusing on the scaling laws affecting turbomachinery and permanent magnet generators. It highlighted challenges such as efficiency and power transfer capabilities, noting that single-stage reaction turbines offered the best efficiency and power density at small scales, albeit requiring higher angular velocities. The study showed that permanent magnet generators had higher power densities at small sizes. A 3-phase multi-layer permanent magnet generator was designed, achieving efficiencies of 64% and 93% with improved designs. Additionally, an ejector-driven turbogenerator was tested, producing a DC power output of 7.5 mW at 27,360 RPM.

community Why do people downplay vitamin deficiency when 94% of Americans are vitamin D deficient?

in Research/Science 130 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about the role of vitamin deficiencies in hair loss and the effectiveness of treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It concludes that while vitamins and nutrition are important, they are not the primary solution for androgenic alopecia.
