In this work, we evaluate the suitability of a new MEMS sensor prototype, called ASX1000 (ADEL s.r.l., Modena, Italy), for the monitoring of distant and moderate seismic events. This device is an inexpensive capacitive accelerometer with a relatively low level of instrumental noise; it can record both local and far seismic events. An experimental n...

Topical prostaglandin analogs (PGAs) are widely approved and preferred first-line options for glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). However, prostaglandin-associated periorbitopathy syndrome (PAPS) is now a well-recognized clinical and cosmetic concern for patients receiving PGAs, especially during long-term and unilateral therapy. PGA-...
Nutritional guidance for competitive golfers to improve performance is limited. Recommendations and study conclusions from older research used smaller golf courses compared to today and require a reevaluation of energy expenditure. This review identifies aerobic fitness, in addition to strength, as a key determinant of success. A novel nutritional ...

AbstractThe article presents the results of studying the source of the 2015 Kenekesir earthquake and its aftershock sequence. The earthquake occurred in the Archman–Nokhur tectonic node zone, where the northwest orientation of the Central Kopet Dag faults changes to the northeast orientation of the Western Kopet Dag faults. The actual rupture plane...

A new coronavirus disease, SARS-CoV-2, has spread into a global pandemic in December 2019. Since no specific therapeutic drugs for treating COVID-19 have been approved by FDA, recent studies suggest that the known antimalarial quinine and its derivatives (chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine) inhibit receptor binding of the viral particles and inhibi...
Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) holds unique properties, including high gas barrier properties, high tensile strength, high resistance to common organic solvents, high heat distortion temperature, high stiffness, as well as fast biodegradability and compostability. Nevertheless, this polymer has not been exploited at a large scale due to its relatively h...

BackgroundBased on the recently developed ChRonic nonbacterial Osteomyelitis MRI Scoring tool (CROMRIS), we developed a radiological activity index (RAI-CROMRIS) to obtain a quantification of the overall bone involvement in individual patients.MethodsWhole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WB-MRI) images were scored according to parameters included ...

Although convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been applied successfully to many fields, the onsite earthquake early warning by CNN remains unexplored. This study aims to predict the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the incoming seismic waves using CNN, which is achieved by analyzing the first 3 s of P-wave data collected from a single site. Be...

Our hypothesis was that higher average club head speed is correlated with lower back injuries in professional golfers. This was a retrospective case control study of male professional golfers who suffered lower back injuries while playing golf. The injured group was composed of 14 Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) golfers who withdrew from a ...
