In this paper, the impact of laminated steel ring cores’ geometric properties on core losses is investigated by means of inferential statistics. In particular, iron loss standardized measurements taken upon ring core specimens that underwent identical manufacturing processes, are compared via two-sample t-tests to establish the existence of statistically significant differences between the samples
On starting up a social venture to increase the nutritional intake of slum children in Chennai, India.
Droplets generated by talking and coughing play a major role in the spreading of COVID-19. There is thus a need for accurate measurements of the physical properties of exhaled droplets, including their number, speed and direction.Several challenges are associated with imaging coughed droplets such as high droplet speed near the mouth where both short exposure time to freeze droplet motion and kHz
Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of chemical shift–encoded imaging of the fatty acid composition (FAC) of human bone marrow adipose tissue at 7 T, and to determine suitable image-acquisition parameters using simulations. Methods: The noise performance of FAC estimation was investigated using simulations with a range of inter-echo time, and accuracy was assessed using a phantom
Creatinine-based equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are increasingly used in radiological practice and in studies on contrast medium-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI). Their use is recommended in guidelines and contrast medium textbooks to identify patients at risk of CIAKI or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. There is also an increased interest in cystatin C-based equations. Ad
Ukraine (UA) faces broad needs for energy security enhancement, energy diversification, revitalization of agriculture, and improvements in the state of the environment. UA has large biomass-for-bioenergy potential, which can be leveraged to contribute to local/regional energy self-sufficiency, rural development and diversification, and environmental improvement via fossil fuel substitution with lo
This article draws on the findings from several years of research on the health problems, quality of life and care of older people, especially during the later years of life, and argues that there is a need to develop and provide care according to the principles of palliative care. The findings indicate that palliative care, including a focus on symptom management, psychosocial and existential iss
This paper reviews evidence from human physiology as to which foods may have been typically consumed by the hominin ancestral lineage up to the advent of anatomically modern humans. Considerable evidence suggests that many common diseases can be prevented by hunter-gatherer diets. Apparently, human nutritional metabolism is not perfectly fine-tuned for recently introduced staple foods, such as cer
Clofarabine, a next-generation deoxyadenosine analogue, was developed on the basis of experience with cladribine and fludarabine in order to achieve higher efficacy and avoid extramedullary toxicity. During the past decade this is the only drug granted approval for treatment of pediatric acute leukemia. Recent clinical studies have established the efficacy of clofarabine in treating malignancies w
Popular Abstract in Swedish Av pedagogiska skäl har anförts att det finns behov av mer kunskaper om människans tänkande om och förhållningssätt till munhälsa och tandvård. Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka och beskriva vuxna människors subjektiva tänkande om och förhållningssätt till munhälsa för att belysa faktorer som bidrar till eller utgör hinder för förändring av handlingsberedsThe need, for health educational reasons, of obtaining a more adequate understanding of how people think and act in connection with questions of dental health and professional dental care has been emphasized. The present study examines the attitudes and conceptions of adult individuals regarding their own dental health, as well as measures they take to further it. The aim is to elucidate factors t
