Associations of Circulating Protein Levels With Lipid Fractions in the General Population

Objective- Revealing patterns of associations between circulating protein and lipid levels could improve biological understanding of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we investigated the associations between proteins related to CVD and triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels in individuals from the genera

Science audited: Indicator-based systems for research evaluation and resource allocation

This paper presents an ongoing research project investigating the use of bibliometrics for research evaluation and resource allocation purposes, and to investigate the effects of these evaluation models on individual, organizational and political levels. A main focus has been on bibliometrics based evaluation practices. The use of bibliometrics for local resource allocation at Swedish universities

Obstructive sleep apnoea and the risk for coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes : A longitudinal population-based study in Finland

Objective To evaluate if obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) modifies the risk of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and diabetic complications in a gender-specific fashion. Design and setting A longitudinal population-based study with up to 25-year follow-up data on 36 963 individuals (>500 000 person years) from three population-based cohorts: the FINRISK study, the Health 2000 Cohort Stud

Cardiac magnetic resonance evaluation of the extent of myocardial injury in patients with inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction and concomitant ST depression in leads V1-V3 : Analysis from the MITOCARE Study

The aim of our study was to examine the pathophysiology of ST depression (STD) in leads V1-V3 in the setting of inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction (iSTEMI) through the perspective of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: Differences in myocardial area at risk (MaR), infarct size, ejection fraction and myocardial segment involvement by CMR were compared in MITOCARE trial patients with

Temporal and depth variation of water quality due to thermal stratification in Karkheh Reservoir, Iran

Study region: Karkheh Dam Reservoir (KDR) located in western Iran. Study focus: To date, there has been no research in the KDR that investigates the interconnections among thermal stratification (ThS), water quality, and nutrients, based on field measurements. This study explored the temporal trend of ThS in the KDR and its interrelationship with water quality parameters based on data measured fro

Unpacking the role of universities in the emergence, development and impact of social innovations : A systematic review of literature

The systematic review of universities and social innovations was carried out by placing universities within the broad framework of social innovation. Focus on social innovation as a response to development and societal problems, the review adopted a three-prong approach by analysing the drivers, process and impact of social innovations in the three core missions of universities: teaching, research

Migration distance affects stopover use but not travel speed : contrasting patterns between long- and short-distance migrating ospreys

The development of migratory behaviour is a continuous process which is not only determined by genes, but also moulded by individual differences based on life-history variations occurring at each ontogenetic stage. Assessing consistency and plasticity in migratory traits between long distance (LDM) and short distance migratory (SDM) populations within the same species that may express dissimilarit

Unburned Hydro Carbon (HC) estimation using a self-tuned heat release method

An estimation model which uses the gross heat release data and the fuel energy to estimate the total amount of emissions and unburned Hydro Carbon (HC) is developed. Gross heat release data is calculated from a self-tuned heat release method which uses in-cylinder pressure data for computing the energy released during combustion. The method takes all heat and mass losses into account. The method e

Measurement of colour flow using jet-pull observables in tt¯ events with the ATLAS experiment at √s=13TeV

Previous studies have shown that weighted angular moments derived from jet constituents encode the colour connections between partons that seed the jets. This paper presents measurements of two such distributions, the jet-pull angle and jet-pull magnitude, both of which are derived from the jet-pull angular moment. The measurement is performed in tt¯ events with one leptonically decaying W boson a

Measurements of differential cross sections of top quark pair production in association with jets in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV using the ATLAS detector

Measurements of differential cross sections of top quark pair production in association with jets by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are presented. The measurements are performed as functions of the top quark transverse momentum, the transverse momentum of the top quark-antitop quark system and the out-of-plane transverse momentum using data from pp collisions at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS de

Measurements of low-p T electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays at mid-rapidity in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV

Transverse-momentum (pT) differential yields of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavour hadron decays have been measured in the most central (0–10%) and in semi-central (20–40%) Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV. The corresponding production cross section in pp collisions has been measured at the same energy with substantially reduced systematic uncertainties with respect to previously published
