Ecosystem respiration is a major component of the global terrestrial carbon cycle and is strongly influenced by temperature. The global extent of the temperature–ecosystem respiration relationship, however, has not been fully explored. Here, we test linear and threshold models of ecosystem respiration across 210 globally distributed eddy covariance sites over an extensive temperature range. We fin
There are several formulations for calculating the Q factors of antennas. The evaluated Q factors are not always in agreement because of the differences in the definition of Q factor and the method in addressing the stored reactive energies. This paper gives a short comparison of five of them with numerical examples.
In this paper we consider spatial coupling in turbo equalization and demonstrate that the code design trade-off between the performance in waterfall and error floor regions can be avoided. We introduce three coupling schemes and compare their performances, where the first method introduces coupling between the encoder and the channel, while the second uses a spatially coupled (SC) code. In the thi
A Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a recently proposed concept, especially suitable for high speed indoor communications and industrial internet of things (IoT) applications. Basing the LIS on smaller panels has clear advantages in terms of flexibility and mass production of its elements. In this paper we consider a panel-based LIS and we study the interplay of the panel size, the number of base
With different activities in a room, room acoustic requirements differ and when the acoustic requirements are different, acoustic treatment must be adapted. This study focuses on room acoustics in ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices. By tradition the acoustic treatment in these rooms is an absorbent ceiling. Experiments have been carried out in a classroom where the baseline in th
Revision of the Task Force diagnostic criteria (TFC) for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), in 2010, has increased the sensitivity for the diagnosis of early and familial forms of the disease. Epsilon wave (EW) is a major diagnostic criterion in the context of ARVC/D, however, it remains unquantifiable and therefore, may leave room for substan-tial subjective inter
Background Female sex is known to have increased perioperative mortality in cardiac surgery. Studies reporting effects of sex on outcome following surgical repair for acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) have been limited by small cohorts of heterogeneous patient populations and have shown diverging results. This study aimed to compare perioperative characteristics, operative management, and pos
In 1998, on the brink of a great public effort that by now has delivered the sequences of thousands of genomes and has annotated these genomes by translating tens of thousands of 3D protein domain structures from their coding sequences, Ernst Mayr and Carl Woese engaged in a debate. At issue were the virtues of phenotypic contra genotypic approaches to phylogeny and taxonomy. Though not conclusive
This paper studies entrepreneurship ecosystem development in a context little discussed in the extant literature to date: Oman. Specifically, it focuses on business incubation (BI) initiatives as a policy tool for developing the local, regional, and national systems of supporting entrepreneurship and SME growth. Although BI’s are a popular policy measure for ecosystem development, spreading global

PURPOSE: The "Shrunken pore syndrome" (SPS) is characterized by a difference in renal filtration between cystatin C and creatinine, resulting in a low eGFRcystatinC /eGFRcreatinine -ratio. Studies have demonstrated a high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality for patients with SPS. In this discovery study, we explored associations between SPS and proteins implicated in cardiovascular dis

Squamous cell carcinomas (SqCC) of the aerodigestive tract have similar etiological risk factors. Although genetic risk variants for individual cancers have been identified, an agnostic, genome-wide search for shared genetic susceptibility has not been performed. To identify novel and pleotropic SqCC risk variants, we performed a meta-analysis of GWAS data on lung SqCC (LuSqCC), oro/pharyngeal SqC
Background: Prognostication of neurological outcome in patients who remain comatose after cardiac arrest resuscitation is complex. Clinical variables, as well as biomarkers of brain injury, cardiac injury, and systemic inflammation, all yield some prognostic value. We hypothesised that cumulative information obtained during the first three days of intensive care could produce a reliable model for
We have successfully fabricated high quality single crystalline La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) film in the freestanding form that can be transferred onto silicon wafer and copper mesh support. Using soft x-ray absorption (XAS) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy in transmission and reflection geometries, we demonstrate that the x-ray emission from Mn 3s-2p core-to-core transition (3
Multiferroic materials have shown significant potential for next generation nanoelectronic and multifunctional devices due to their coexistent order parameters and versatile tunabilities. Nevertheless, the selectivity of the room temperature multiferroics is extremely limited. In this manner, single-phase solid-solution-type multiferroics that are composed by distinct oxides exhibiting either ferr
