A Review of the Segmental Diameter of the Healthy Human Spinal Cord.
Knowledge of the average size and variability of the human spinal cord can be of importance when treating pathological conditions in the spinal cord. Data on healthy human spinal cord morphometrics have been published for more...
Alternatives to Traditional Per-Oral Endoscopy for Screening.
Barrett's esophagus (BE) predisposes patients to esophageal adenocarcinoma. 3 to 6% of individuals with gastro-esophageal reflux disease are estimated to have BE but only 20 to 25% of BE patients are currently diagnosed. The...
Delicate seafloor landforms reveal past Antarctic grounding-line retreat of kilometers per year.
JA Dowdeswell, CL Batchelor, A Montelli, D Ottesen, FDW Christie, EK Dowdeswell, J Evans
Jun 04, 2020
A suite of grounding-line landforms on the Antarctic seafloor, imaged at submeter horizontal resolution from an autonomous underwater vehicle, enables calculation of ice sheet retreat rates from a complex of grounding-zone...
The use of fluid dynamic gauging in investigating the thickness and cohesive strength of cake fouling layers formed during cross-flow microfiltration
A common challenge during membrane filtration is cake fouling, whereby the build-up of material on the membrane surface reduces the permeate flux. Such fouling layers can also alter the selectivity of the separation. In this...

Investigation of cake fouling and pore blocking phenomena using fluid dynamic gauging and critical flux models
Cake growth during a low pressure cross-flow microfiltration (MF) of a Kraft lignin suspension was studied using fluid dynamic gauging (FDG). This is the first paper to discuss the identification of fouling mechanisms and their...

Associating the Change in New COVID-19 Cases to GDP per Capita in 38 European Countries in the First Wave of the Pandemic.
COVID-19 has affected all countries globally. We explore associations between the change in new COVID-19 registered cases per million population and various macroeconomic and well-being indicators in 38 European countries over a...
The Municipality's Role in a Smart Internet of Things Ecosystem
This article explores how municipalities plan and utilize Internet of Things (IoT) for smart city development, as well as how they collaborate with actors in the IoT-ecosystem. To do so, in-depth interviews and secondary...

Continuous exposure to schistosome-infested water results in acute and chronic morbidity in all ages. We analysed occurence of organomegaly via ultrasonography and investigated a possible additive effect of dual-dose drug...
Intelligent Anti-Jamming Decision Algorithm of Bivariate Frequency Hopping Pattern Based on DQN With PER and Pareto
To improve the anti-jamming performance of frequency hopping system in complex electromagnetic environment, a Deep Q-Network algorithm with priority experience replay (PER) based on Pareto samples (PPER-DQN) is proposed, which...

Sep 20, 2022
Two homoeologous QTLs for number of spikelets per spike (SPS) were mapped on chromosomes 7AL and 7BL using two wheat MAGIC populations. Sets of lines contrasting for the QTL on 7AL were developed which allowed for the validation...

BACKGROUND: Conventional epidemiologic studies have evaluated associations between circulating lipid levels and breast cancer risk, but results have been inconsistent. As Mendelian randomization analyses may provide evidence for...
Proteinase-3 and myeloperoxidase serotype in relation to demographic factors and geographic distribution in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis.
Maria Weiner, Rune Bjørneklett, Zdenka Hrušková, Bruce Mackinnon, Caroline J Poulton, Leo Sindelar, Aladdin J Mohammad, Per Eriksson, Loreto Gesualdo, Duvuru Geetha, Matija Crnogorac, David Jayne, Susan L Hogan, Colin Geddes, Vladimir Tesar, Knut Aasarød, Mårten Segelmark
May 13, 2019
BACKGROUND: In anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis, antigen specificity varies between myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3). This has been reported to vary in relation to age...

The smallest known Devonian tetrapod shows unexpectedly derived features.
A new genus and species of Devonian tetrapod, Brittagnathus minutus gen. et sp. nov., is described from a single complete right lower jaw ramus recovered from the Acanthostega mass-death deposit in the upper part of the Britta...
An exploration into measurement consistency on coordinate measuring machines
In high precision industry, the measurement of geometry is often performed using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Measurements on CMMs can occur at many places within a long and global supply chain. In this context it is...
