Presents a two-dimensional stochastic convection-diffusion model for use in real-time prediction of the space-time rainfall structure in urban areas. The model is used to parameterize the rainfall intensity from individual rain cells. Especially, we are interested to quantify the rainfall intensity resulting from different separable components of the rain cell. This is done by a Lagrangian approac

This report gives an overview and summary of research on wood-adhesive bonds performed during several years in a number of separate studies. These studies concern the mechanical testing, numerical analysis and constitutive modelling of wood-adhesive bonds in timber engineering. Applications such as finger-joints and glued-laminated timber are considered. The experimental studies include the testin

How do we design policies that support a shift in eating habits towards a diet that includes more vegetable-basedproducts and less meat, and in particular red meat? To inform policy, more information is needed about consumers’perceptions of the plant-based protein alternatives that have become available on the market. The present study of 1000 Danish consumers examined oat drink and plant-based miHow do we design policies that support a shift in eating habits towards a diet that includes more vegetable-based products and less meat, and in particular red meat?

Chronic skeletal muscle degeneration is characterized by fiber atrophy accompanied by deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components and fatty infiltration. Excessive accumulation of ECM leads to fibrosis via the contribution of fibro-adipogenic precursors (FAPs). Fibrosis also accompanies disuse atrophy and sarcopenia without significant inflammation. The present study aimed to comparatively

Land cover and land use is well known to be one of the main drivers of erosion and soil loss. However, most findings rely on short-term data analysis and focus on only one or two land covers. In our paper we investigate the long-term trade-off between common agricultural land cover changes (sugarcane, pasture, and soybean) and their runoff and soil loss rates, as well as comparing them to forest (

Introduction: Hypertension is among the most common non-communicable diseases, being the major cause of premature deaths worldwide. The co-existence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus increases the risk of cardiovascular events and death. Objective: To determine the prevalence of hypertension and associated factors among individuals with type II diabetes mellitus in the Kilimanjaro region, nort

The aim was to investigate associations between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and mortality, and associations between desire to increase LTPA and mortality within the low LTPA group. A public health survey questionnaire was sent in 2008 to a stratified random sample of the population aged 18-80 in southernmost Sweden, yielding a 54.1% response rate. Baseline 2008 survey data with 25,464 re

This paper presents a radio frequency front-end (RFFE) comprised of a cascode low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a reconfigurable Q-enhanced filter. Employing a dual-resonant input matching network, the LNA attains a significantly wide bandwidth. The filter consists of four Q-enhanced resonators enabling three modes of operation: 1) dual-band filter, 2) single band-pass filter (BPF) along with a tunabl

The TOI-1130 is a known planetary system around a K-dwarf consisting of a gas giant planet, TOI-1130 c on an 8.4-day orbit that is accompanied by an inner Neptune-sized planet, TOI-1130 b, with an orbital period of 4.1 days. We collected precise radial velocity (RV) measurements of TOI-1130 with the HARPS and PFS spectrographs as part of our ongoing RV follow-up program. We performed a photodynami

Among the hundreds of known hot Jupiters (HJs), only five have been found to have companions on short-period orbits. Within this rare class of multiple planetary systems, the architecture of WASP-47 is unique, hosting an HJ (planet-b) with both an inner and an outer sub-Neptunian mass companion (-e and -d, respectively) as well as an additional non-transiting, long-period giant (-c). The small per

It has been suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters might reach several per cent, significantly higher than that of the field (~a per cent). In a stellar cluster, when a planetary system scatters with a stellar binary, it may acquire a companion star, which may excite large-amplitude von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai oscillations in the planet's orbital eccentricity, trigger

OBJECTIVE: Some patients regain weight to a variable extent from 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), though rarely reaching preoperative values. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether, when, and to what extent metabolic remission occurs.METHODS: Fasting metabolite and lipid profiles were determined in blood plasma collected from a nonrandomized intervention study

Addresses the issue whether computer modelling techniques developed for humid climates are applicable in runoff forecasting in the semi-arid zone. Four different simulation models were applied to a partly urbanized catchment in northern Tunisia. Two of the models used were developed for urban runoff simulation (SWMM and ILLUDAS) and two for typical rural application (HBV and VANMOD). -Authors
