Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a promising tracer for the estimation of terrestrial ecosystem gross primary production (GPP). However, understanding its non-GPP-related sources and sinks, e.g., anthropogenic sources and soil sources and sinks, is also critical to the success of the approach. Here we infer the regional sources and sinks of COS using continuous in situ mole fraction profile measurements

Background: Electrocardiographic detection of patients with occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) can be difficult in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) or ventricular paced rhythm (VPR) and several ECG criteria for the detection of OMI in LBBB/VPR exist. Most recently, the Barcelona criteria, which includes concordant ST deviation and discordant ST deviation in leads with low R/S ampli

Background: A Swedish version of the Patient-Rated Ulnar Nerve Evaluation (PRUNE-S), a patient-reported outcome measure for ulnar nerve entrapment, was created, according to cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, and reliability, validity, and responsiveness were evaluated. Methods: In total, 43 patients (mean [SD] age, 49 [16] y; 54% men) were consecutively examined, including the PRUNE-S (retest:

Background: Previous reports from relatively small clinical cohorts have suggested that the clinical presentation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) differs between men and women. Objective: We aimed to explore sex differences in clinical and polysomnographic features of OSA in a large nationwide registry. Methods: Participants from the ongoing Turkish Sleep Apnea Database (TURKAPNE) Study from 34 c

Gait Speed Reserve (GSR) expresses a difference between fast and comfortable gait speed and may have an impact on everyday functioning. It was also hypothesized as a useful proxy measure of physiological reserve. However, height-normalizing values of GSR and its associated factors have not been evaluated in a general population of older adults. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the distribution o

Background: The FTO gene harbors the strongest known susceptibility locus for obesity. While many individual studies have suggested that physical activity (PA) may attenuate the effect of FTO on obesity risk, other studies have not been able to confirm this interaction. To confirm or refute unambiguously whether PA attenuates the association of FTO with obesity risk, we meta-analyzed data from 45

Formation of oxidized products from Δ3-carene (C10H16) ozonolysis and their gas-to-particle partitioning at three temperatures (0, 10, and 20 °C) under dry conditions (<2% RH) and also at 10 °C under humid (78% RH) conditions were studied using a time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer (ToF-CIMS) combined with a filter inlet for gases and aerosols (FIGAERO). The Δ3-carene ozonolysis p

Cross-section measurements for a Z boson produced in association with high-transverse-momentum jets (p T ≥ 100 GeV) and decaying into a charged-lepton pair (e + e − , μ + μ −) are presented. The measurements are performed using proton–proton collisions at s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb −1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Measurements of angular correl

Introduction: We assessed best available data on access and delivery of acute stroke unit (SU) care, intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT) in the European region in 2019 and 2020. Patients and methods: We compared national data per number of inhabitants and per 100 annual incident first-ever ischaemic strokes (AIIS) in 46 countries. Population estimates and ischaemic stro

Famous for its many New Kingdom stelai and funerary shrines, Speos of Horemheb and magnificent quarries, this paper presents a preliminary report on a lesser acknowledged feature of Gebel el Silsila: its quarry marks. Focusing here on the northern section – Partition B – of Silsila East’s Main Quarry, seventeen individual quarry faces display totally 376 quarry marks, which have been divided into

Background: This paper discusses whether baseline demographic, socio-economic, health variables, length of follow-up and method of contacting the participants predict non-response to the invitation for a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the European multi-center EPIC-PANACEA study. Methods: Over 500.000 participants from several centers in ten European countries recruited

The essential spectrum of the singular matrix differential operator of mixed order determined by the operator matrix [GRAPHICS] is studied. Investigation of the essential spectrum of the corresponding self-adjoint operator is continued but; now without assuming that the quasi-regularity conditions are satisfied. New conditions that guarantee that the operator is semi-bounded from below are derived

This paper reports on a search for narrow resonances in diboson production in the [Formula: see text] final state using [Formula: see text] collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of [Formula: see text] fb[Formula: see text] collected at [Formula: see text] TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of data events over the Standard Model expect

Background and Purpose-Secondary prevention is recommended after stroke, but adherence to guidelines is unknown. We studied the prescription of antiplatelet drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, statins, and anticoagulant drugs and their relation to risk of death. Methods-Patients with first-ever ischemic stroke in 2005 were registered in the Swedish Stroke Register. Odds ratios, hazard

A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H -> WW(*()) -> lvlv (l = e.mu) decay mode is presented. The search is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected during 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of events over the expected background is o

The world supply and turnover of copper was modelled using simple empirical estimates and a COPPER systems dynamics model developed for this study. The model combines mining, trade markets, price mechanisms, population dynamics, use in society and waste as well as recycling, into a whole world system. The degree of sustainability and resource time horizon was estimated using four different methods
