Extracting the ground level enhancement event of February 1956 from Legacy cosmic ray recordings
(IEEE, 2018)
Early continuous recordings of cosmic rays, as measured with Carnegie Type C Ionization Chambers, were made on rolls of photographic paper. This paper describes the extraction of the ionization data of a ground level ...
Simulation of a predominantly passive natural air cooling system
(IEEE, 2018)
Climate control is an everyday challenge. With the rapid surge in electricity prices over the past few years, air conditioning operating expenses necessarily increased. The effects, furthermore, of global warming result ...
NT-proBNP and metabolic risk factors in two ethnic groups: the SABPA cohort study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018)
Background: Natriuretic peptides are vasoactive peptides with several metabolic
actions.
Purpose: We aimed to explore associations of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic
peptide (NT-proBNP) with metabolic traits in a mixed ...
Pilot of a pharmacoepidemiology capacity building electronic survey for the Latin American and African regions
(Wiley, 2018)
Background: The ISPE Global Development Committee in collaboration with the Educational Committee and ISPE Board of Directors aims to build‐up pharmacoepidemiology (PE) research capacity in the Latin America (LatAm) and ...
Challenges and issues in drug utilization research identified from the Latin American and African regions
(Wiley, 2018)
Background: Despite advancements in drug utilization research (DUR),
these have not been universal. Some regions such as the Latin America
(LatAm) and African regions are facing challenges that are impeding
the development ...
Increasing access to drug utilization data globally: developing an action plan
(Wiley, 2018)
Background: Drug utilization (DU) research intends to support health authorities in the development of evidence‐informed pharmaceutical policy and practice guidelines, with the interest of the patients and communities in ...
In silico insights into the tunable magnetic properties of transition metal doped monolayer SnS2
(IEEE, 2018)
Recent advancements in computation hardware and software has fueled the adoption of in silico techniques, such as density functional theory (DFT), as an investigative tool in materials' science. Hence, this study employs ...
Effect of dipole corrections and spin orbit coupling on tungsten dichalcogenides monolayer: a in silico first principles study
(IEEE, 2018)
The structural and electronic properties of tungsten dichalogenides compounds (WS 2 , WSe 2 , WTe 2 ) were investigated from first principles calculations. We found that the structural and electronic properties changed ...
First record of the snapper-choking isopod Cymothoa excisa (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) parasitizing invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae)
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
Two female snapper-choking isopods Cymothoa excisa (body length 11 and 14 mm) were in the buccal cavity of two invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (total length 294 and 301 mm) collected in Alacranes Reef, southern Gulf of ...
Particle-in-cell simulations of shear boundary layers in relativistic jets
(Sissa Medialab, 2018)
The supermassive black holes in the centres of active galaxies (AGN) eject powerful relativistic
jets which propagate over kpc scales, showing no significant momentum loss. Both observational
evidence as well as theoretical ...
