A Flexible and Compact Semicircular Antenna for Multiple Wireless Communication Applications
This work presents a compact, quad-band planar antenna intended for assimilation into flexible and conformal devices. The CPW-fed semicircular shaped prototype with rake-shaped slots is designed, realized and characterized ... -
Influence of Genetic Variation in PDE3A on Endothelial Function and Stroke
We aimed to characterize the genetics of endothelial function and how this influences risk for cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke. We integrated genetic data from a study of ultrasound flow-mediated dilatation ... -
Rosseland and Flux Mean Opacities for Compton Scattering
Rosseland mean opacity plays an important role in theories of stellar evolution and X-ray burst models. In the high-temperature regime, when most of the gas is completely ionized, the opacity is dominated by Compton ... -
Learner perspectives on pronunciation feedback
<p>Corrective feedback is an essential part of L2 pronunciation instruction. The type and source of feedback may vary depending on the context. Most earlier studies suggest that corrective feedback facilitates learning in ... -
Anxious politicians: Productivity imperatives in the Finnish Parliament
<p>This paper offers new perspectives on work cultures in politics by exploring the ambivalent connections among productivity imperatives and affirmative sociality within an under-researched group: Finnish members of ... -
The Role of Beliefs and Motivational Variables in Enhancing Word Problem Solving
<p>A Word Problem Enrichment programme (WPE) has been found to increase student word problem solving performance when facing non-routine and application problems. However, it is unknown if the WPE has an impact on student ... -
Affective capitalism: Investments and investigations
<p>Affective capitalism is a mode of production where systems of organising production and distribution rely on the capacities of different bodies, human and non-human, to encounter each other. These encounters and different ... -

Evaluation of a Prototype System that Automatically Assigns Subject Headings to Nursing Narratives Using Recurrent Neural Network
<p>We present our initial evaluation of a prototype system designed to assist nurses in assigning subject headings to nursing narratives – written in the context of documenting patient care in hospitals. Currently ... -
A dust-enshrouded tidal disruption event with a resolved radio jet in a galaxy merger
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are transient flares produced when a star is ripped apart by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). We have observed a transient source in the western nucleus of the ... -
Security in agile software development: A practitioner survey
<p>Context: Software security engineering provides the means to define, implement and verify security in software products. Software security engineering is performed by following a software security development life cycle ... -
Multiple formin proteins participate in glioblastoma migration
<b>Background: </b>The prognosis of glioblastoma remains poor, related to its diffuse spread within the brain. There is an ongoing search for molecular regulators of this particularly invasive behavior. One approach is to ... -
Re-emergence of enterovirus D68 in Europe after easing the COVID-19 lockdown, September 2021
We report a rapid increase in enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infections, with 139 cases reported from eight European countries between 31 July and 14 October 2021. This upsurge is in line with the seasonality of EV-D68 and was ... -
Systematic administration and analysis of verbal fluency tasks: Preliminary evidence for reliable exploration of processes underlying task performance
<p>Verbal fluency (VF) tasks are typically scored by the number of acceptable words generated within an allotted time (i.e., total score). However, total scores do not provide insight into verbal and executive processes ... -
Assessment of green and chemically synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles against hepatocellular carcinoma
Copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO-NPs) attracts the attentions of human beings due to unique physicochemical and biological properties. The chemical and green synthesis approaches were used to synthesis of CuO-NPs and plant ... -
A lysine substitute for K+. A460K mutation eliminates K+ dependence in H+-pyrophosphatase of Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans.
The H(+) proton-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (H(+)-PPase) family is composed of two phylogenetically distinct types of enzymes: K(+)-dependent and K(+)-independent. However, to date, the sequence criteria governing ... -
Characterizing continuum variability in the radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 17020+4544
<p>We present results of temporal and spectral analyses on four XMM─Newton EPIC pn observations of IRAS 17020+4544, a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy with evidence of a radio jet. Analysis of the light curves reveals that ... -
The Not So Great Recovery—Economic Policy in the Making of the European Crisis of Youth
Working Papers on Social and Economic Issues<p>The current economic misery in Europe is often framed as an inescapable consequence of the financial crisis. However, a multilevel comparison based on the European Quality of Life Survey shows that there are important ... -
Utility of Three Adiposity Indices for Identifying Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Geometric Remodeling in Chinese Children
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Previous studies have shown that waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) performed similarly well when compared to body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) for identifying cardiovascular risk ...
