Abstract:

The Bouncy Knee concept has previously proved of value when fitted to stabilised knee units of active amputees. The stance phase flex-extend action afforded by a Bouncy Knee increased the symmetry of gait and also gave better tolerance to slopes and uneven ground. A bouncy function has now been incorporated into a knee of the semi-automatic knee lock design in a pilot laboratory trial involving six patients. These less active patients did not show consistent changes in symmetry of gait, but demonstrated an improved ability to walk on slopes and increased their walking range. Subjective respons

Feldspar for ceramic/glass industries requires sufficiently low content of harmful colourants (Fe-, Ti-, Mn-bearing mineral phases). Hydrothermally altered albite-rich granites are increasingly used as feldspar raw material nowadays; however, they are often marked by increased content of colourants, which must be removed during the processing of feldspar ore. Parallel to the content of colourants, these phases show enrichment in some critical raw materials (CRMs), specifically of Nb, Ta, and Li.

Abstract:

Background: This article discusses the current knowledge on the effects of heat stress on cognitive abilities. Whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) has a negative effect on mental performance. In this study, we investigated whether short-term whole-body immersion in water at 45°C (HWI-45°C), which induces a strong neurotransmitter and temperature flux without inducing whole-body hyperthermia, would impair mental performance in humans. Methods: Fourteen men (aged 25±6 years) were enrolled in this study and participated in three experiments: (i) a brief (5-min) immersion of the whole body in 37°C

Abstract:

IntroductionAntibiotic resistance is a serious and increasing worldwide threat to global public health. One of antibiotic stewardship programmes’ objectives are to reduce inappropriate broad-spectrum antibiotics’ prescription. Selective reporting of antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) results, which consists of reporting to prescribers only few (n=5-6) antibiotics, preferring first-line and narrow-spectrum agents, is one possible strategy advised in recommendations. However, selective reporting of AST has never been evaluated using an experimental design.Methods and analysisThis study is a pr

Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) represents a valuable exploration in critically ill pediatric patients. Early diagnosis allows care to be adjusted. We evaluated the feasibility, turnaround time (TAT), yield, and utility of rWGS in Belgium. Twenty-one unrelated critically ill patients were recruited from the neonatal intensive care units, the pediatric intensive care unit, and the neuropediatric unit, and offered rWGS as a first tier test. Libraries were prepared in the laboratory of human genetics of the University of Liège using Illumina DNA PCR-free protocol. Sequencing was performed on

The paper presents the results of a study of apple clonal rootstocks carried out in 2017-2022 in the trial plots located in the Irkutsk region. The objects of the study were clonal rootstocks from various scientific institutions. The conducted fieldwork allows us to state that the ecological conditions of the Southern Cisbaikalia are generally favorable for the use of clonal rootstocks in the regional horticulture. It was found that the most adaptive forms of all the studied clonal rootstocks are the rootstocks of the Ural selection (Ural and Ural 2) and the rootstock of the Estonian selection

The impacts of climate change are expected to alter the abundance and distribution of invasive annual grasses, such as Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass) and Ventenata dubia (Leers) Coss. (ventenata). High temperature extremes will be more frequent and for longer periods, and increased atmospheric CO2 is expected to double even with the most conservative estimates. Climate change draws concern for the potential success of winter annual grasses in arid and semi-arid plant communities.

Photovoltaic buildings make full use of renewable energy and have huge potential for emission reduction. However, the characteristics of BIPV technology, such as a relatively high initial investment and technical difficulties, hinder its widespread application. Previous studies have explored the potential benefits of BIPV technology; however, there is a lack of systematic investigation into the interactive relationship
