Background: Increasing evidence suggests a link between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and intake of gluten, but no controlled trials have examined whether a gluten-free diet (GFD) has positive effects on glycemic control in children with T1D. Methods: We conducted a non-randomized feasibility study. Twenty-three children with newly diagnosed T1D were included and either followed a GFD (n = 14) or a normal

Process-based confidential computing enclaves such as Intel SGX can be used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of workloads, without the overhead of virtualisation. However, they introduce a notable performance overhead, especially when it comes to transitions in and out of the enclave context. Such overhead makes the use of enclaves impractical for running IO-intensive applications, suc

FLASH radiotherapy is a novel technique that has been shown in numerous preclinical in vivo studies to have the potential to be the next important improvement in cancer treatment. However, the biological mechanisms responsible for the selective FLASH sparing effect of normal tissues are not yet known. An optimal translation of FLASH radiotherapy into the clinic would require a good understanding o

This paper proposes an iterative algorithm to reconstruct missing samples from non-stationary signals. The proposed algorithm is based on the well-known amplitude-modulation frequency-modulation model for non-stationary signals. The method initially estimates the instantaneous frequencies of the observed multi-component signal. The estimated IFs are then used to de-chirp the corresponding componen

To move between different semiotic systems, such as graphs and formulas, is a necessary step in learning physics or solving problems. In social semiotics, this movement of semiotic material is called a transduction and during a transduction a student must unpack, filter, and highlight different aspects of the concept or problem. Unpacking, filtering, and highlighting have been shown to be importan

A reflective metasurface with reconfigurable beam is proposed for indoor wireless communications. It consists of 8 × 8 unit cells with tunable capacitors. By varying the capacitances, the reflective phase across the metasurface can be designed to facilitate different reflective angles for an incident wave. The simulation results show that the proposed reflective metasurface can deflect the incomin

We introduce DiffPhy, a differentiable physics-based model for articulated 3d human motion reconstruction from video. Applications of physics-based reasoning in human motion analysis have so far been limited, both by the complexity of constructing adequate physical models of articulated human motion, and by the formidable challenges of performing stable and efficient inference with physics in the

This paper addresses the topic of site characterization for the design of Shallow Geothermal Energy (SGE) systems, namely of thermoactive geostructures, which are geotechnical structures, such as piles, retaining walls and tunnel linings, also used as heat exchangers as part of closed-loop SGE systems. Such solutions, being increasingly adopted for buildings’ and infrastructures’ heating and/or co

Multi-carrier technique is a backbone for modern commercial networks. However, the performances of multi-carrier systems in general depend greatly on the qualities of acquired channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose a novel deep-learning based processing pipeline to estimate CSI for payload time-frequency resource elements. The proposed pipeline contains two cascaded subblocks,

Anaesthetic technique for open surgery of acute distal for arm fracture in adults/elderly is not well defined. Regional anaesthesia, general anaesthesia or a combined general and regional block may be considered. General anaesthetic technique, the timing and drug/drug combination for the regional block must also be considered. This is a study around published studies assessing anaesthtic technique

The purpose of this study is to address the main reasons that limit Jordanian women from undertaking expatriation, based on the assumption that Arab women’s opportunities for international engagement may be compromised by local cultural and institutional issues. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectoral survey with 60 Jordanian expatriates (30 women and 20 men) located in EU countries and the

For assembly tasks, the knowledge of both trajectory and forces are usually required. Consequently, we may use kinesthetics or teleoperation for recording human demonstrations. In order to have a more natural interaction, the operator has to be provided with a sense of touch. We propose a bilateral teleoperation system which is customized for this purpose. We introduce different coordinate frames
