Unlike most other biological species, humans can use cultural innovations to occupy a range of environments, raising the intriguing question of whether human migrations move relatively independently o…
Flow-volume curves with air and helium, and spirometry were obtained in 423 subjects during epidemiologic health surveys; subjects were divided into 4 groups: nonsmokers and smokers not exposed to air…
OBJECTIVE: To establish reference charts for fetal cerebellar vermis height in an unselected population.METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study between September 2009 and December 2014 was carrie…
Understanding the patterns of gene flow of an endangered species metapopulation occupying a fragmented habitat is crucial for landscape-level conservation planning and devising effective conservation …
Visible/near-infrared (380 approximately 1 030 nm) hyperspectral imaging technique was used to realize SPAD visualization of pumpkin leaves in the present study. Downy mildew could be diagnosed rapidl…
The purpose of this study was to quantify the uncertainty of the pendulum method for determining the moment of inertia of an object using various suspension distances. Experimental data were collected…
OBJECTIVE: Breastfeeding reduces the risk of asthma and respiratory infections in infants. Since respiratory infections are associated with reduced pulmonary function in adolescents, pulmonary functio…
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents an increasing health burden. We present the population-based prevalence of CKD and compare the CKD Epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) and modifica…
The present study was designed to assess selected psychometric properties of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) (Ryan, 1982), a multidimensional measure of subjects' experience with regard to ex…
A simplified radiative transfer equation yields a simple analytic expression for the co- and cross-polarized return in a linearly polarized oceanographic lidar. This equation agrees well with the lida…
BACKGROUND: The results of numerous studies on the influence of breastfeeding in the prevention of atopic disorders are often contradictory. One of the most important problems is confounding by other …
An LC/MS/MS method is presented for the determination of hydrogen cyanide in cigarette mainstream smoke. Cyanide is derivatized with 2,3'-naphthalenedicarboxaldehyde and taurine to form a benzo[f]isoi…
A general formulation for a family of cyclic epidemic models with density-dependent feedback mechanisms and removed classes is presented. A parameter, lambda, related to the basic reproductive rate de…
In-line skating injuries and protective gear use were explored in a sample of college students (n = 217). A minority of respondents wore protective gear. One third of skaters had experienced at least …
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that reduced birth weight in normal fetuses born at moderately high altitude (Denver), compared with the birth weight in normal fetuses born at sea level (Milan), is …
Using academic achievement as the key outcome variable, 7377 Icelandic adolescents were surveyed for cigarette smoking, alcohol use, daytime sleepiness, caffeine use, and potential confounders. Struct…
A "blocks model" is proposed to model the distribution of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (VA/Q distribution). This model is developed from statistical principles and enables the estimated VA/Q distri…
BACKGROUND: Population ageing is an increasingly severe global issue. And this has been posing challenges for public health policies and medical resource allocation There are various features of popul…
Although lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)) is a widely used test of diffusive O2 transfer, few studies have directly related DL(CO) to O2-diffusing capacity (DL(O2)); none has used …
PURPOSE: Studies indicate breakfast cereals may reduce the risk of overweight, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, but a limited number of longitudinal studies have explored these relationships, in…
