Scientific Reports - Identifying ENSO-related interannual and decadal variability on terrestrial water storage

The fundamental role of the assumption of plane wave ultrasonic propagation in attenuation and scattering measurements on soft tissues is discussed. The evidence for and against the validity of the assumption is shown to be inconclusive. An experimental procedure for direct assessment, by measuremen …

In a pilot study, we had five typical Internet users evaluate the quality of health websites returned by a general-purpose search engine (Google) and a healthcare-specific search engine (Healthfinder).

Fifty consecutive patients admitted for replantation surgery received a psychiatric evaluation. In 28 percent of the patients there was evidence of preaccident psychopathology. Fifty-four percent of the patients reported a recent stressful life event predating the accident. Fifty-four percent of the …

Scientific Reports - Prediction of corneal graft rejection using central endothelium/Descemet’s membrane complex thickness in high-risk corneal transplants

The palatal mucosal thickness after FGG harvesting might affect the filling of the defect. Within the study period, the periphery of the palatal wounds filled earlier and to a greater extent compared with the centre of the wounds.

This new device, which measures the pulling force and vector of delivering a baby, has been successfully demonstrated.

Process analytical technology (PAT)-tools were used to monitor freeze-drying of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) at pilot and production scale. Among the evaluated PAT-tools, there is the novel use of the vacuum valve open/close frequency for determining the endpoint of primary drying at production sca …
