Background: Active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACD-CPR) utilises a suction cup to lift the chest-wall actively during the decompression phase (AD). We hypothesised that mechanical ACD-CPR (Intervention), with AD up to 30 mm above the sternal resting position, would generate better haemodynamic results than standard mechanical CPR (Control). Methods: This out-of-hospita

Background: The construct of aggression is central to work with violent offenders, but it is a broad construct that can be assessed by many different methods and instruments. Its measurement may, however, have profound implications for treatment planning. We need more knowledge about how different methods for assessing aggression relate to each other. Aims: Our aims were to investigate, first, the

Railways operate in an open environment where temperature, humidity, and the oxidation conditions are subjected to change. An experimental investigation used a pin-on-disc machine to examine the influence of environmental conditions and iron oxides on the wear performance of the wheel-rail contact. The wear mechanisms were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and found to be highly dependen

Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is caused by delayed clearance of lung fluid at birth. TTN typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm neonates and is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress. Although it is usually a self-limited condition, admission to a neonatal unit is frequently required for monitoring and providing re

Despite major advancements in lung cancer treatment, long-term survival is still rare and a deeper understanding of molecular phenotypes would allow the identification of specific cancer dependencies and immune-evasion mechanisms. Here we performed in-depth mass-spectrometry-based proteogenomic analysis of 141 tumors representing all major histologies of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We iden

The oceans are increasingly polluted with plastic debris, and several studies have implicated plastic as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes and a potential vector for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bioplastic is widely regarded as an environmentally friendly replacement to conventional petroleum-based plastic, but the effects of bioplastic pollution on marine environments remain largely u

This article will discuss the influence of scale-free networks on my 1 sonata (Sélection, 5th Dutilleux International Composition Compétition, 2003) for piano. An important feature of scale-free networks is that they are regulated by a small number of important nodes/hubs that are connected to many other sites. Following a power law distribution, research has found that a majority of nodes have on

Ni-based composite coatings containing varied contents of tungsten carbides on low carbon steel were fabricated. Effects of sintering temperature and tungsten carbides contents on the surface, interface, microstructure and wear resistance of the coatings were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Vickers microhardness tester, bulk

The role of proteins as the mediators of the interaction between engineered materials (biomaterials) and living systems has long been appreciated, but the subtleties and complexities introduced by changing surface curvature are only beginning to be understood. Thus, in implant devices, where the biomaterial is presented as a flat surface, a very limited range of proteins bind to the material, thes

In this paper, channel measurement campaigns at center frequency of 72 GHz with 2 GHz bandwidth conducted by Huawei company are introduced. The transmitter and receiver make use of similar horn antennas which are rotated step by step in the directional domains to capture the frequency spectra of spatial channels in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight scenarios of indoor environments. The data is a

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is going to play an important role in fifth generation communication systems for establishing seamless coverage in various scenarios due to its low-cost and flexibility. Understanding the UAV wireless channels is the basis for its application. In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for the UAV wireless propagation channel in a suburban scenario i

This paper presents the characteristics of the mm-wave propagation channel in hall scenario at the frequency bands of 9-11 GHz and 27-29 GHz. The spherical propagation parameters, i.e. delay, azimuth, elevation, source distance and complex amplitude are estimated by the high resolution parameter estimation (HRPE) algorithm. Based on the results, the channel characteristics, e.g. path loss, delay s

The Gag polyprotein is implied in the budding as well as the establishment of the supramolecular architecture of infectious retroviral particles. It is also involved in the early phases of the replication of retroviruses by protecting and transporting the viral genome towards the nucleus of the infected cell until its integration in the host genome. Therefore, understanding the structure– function

Emily Skop, Martina Angela Caretta, Caroline Faria and Jessi L. Smith offer other scholars engaged in research collaborations a pledge to help foster and sustain more equitable relationships.

Barnobesitas är sedan flera år ett ökat hälsoproblem bland barn. Obesitas vid 4 års ålder ger en kraftigt ökad risk för obesitas senare i livet. Att förebygga uppkomst och utveckling av obesitas är en långsiktig investering för framtiden. Idag finns ingen evidensbaserad metod för vägledning inom barnhälsovården för att främja hälsosamma levnadsvanor och förebygga obesitas hos förskolebarn. Det övePrevention of childhood obesity with its effects on children’s mental and physical health and well-being is an international public health priority and is suggested to be effective when started early. As Child Health Services lack an evidence-based model, there is the need for development of a low-intensive health promotion model that is feasible and cost-effective in preventing obesity in prescho

In this paper, a measurement campaign for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel characterization in both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-LoS outdoor environments is introduced. The measurements are conducted at the center frequency of 15 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 GHz. A virtual 40× 40 planar antenna array formed by stepping a vertically-polarized bi-conical omni-directional antenna (OD

In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for High-Speed-Train (HST) channels is introduced where the down-link signals of in-service Long Time Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks deployed along a HST railway between Beijing to Shanghai were acquired. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the received Cell-specific Reference Signals (CRSs). The results show that, m

Cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently attracted a surge of interest in both academia and industry. Understanding the air-to-ground (A2G) propagation channels is essential to enable reliable and/or high-throughput communications for UAVs and protect the ground user equipments (UEs). In this contribution, a recently conducted measurement campaign for the A2G channels is in
