BACKGROUND: Lifestyle interventions for children and adolescents with severe obesity show moderate short-term effects on weight reduction internationally. We evaluated treatment results at two Norwegian specialist outpatient clinics. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective analysis of data from children and adolescents between 3 and 18 ye...
Aiming at SO2 and NOx in industrial flue gas, the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx was conducted using red mud as absorbent with O-3 oxidation. The effects of different factors on the desulfurization and denitration efficiency were investigated. The results show that the increase of oxidation temperature is not conducive to the absorption of NOx...

Purpose of Review To critically review the evidence in favor or against the use of house dust mite (HDM) allergen avoidance measures in patients with asthma. Recent Findings Systematic reviews and meta-analyses suggested no positive effect of mite allergen avoidance strategies on asthma outcomes, resulting in a lack of consensus regarding the utili...
Climate variability poses major risks to agricultural production around the world, including in Colombia. Despite progress, major gaps still exist for the continuous provision of climate services for the Colombian agricultural sector. These gaps include lack of capacities in farming communities and technical assistants to understand and use seasona...
Understanding the hypersonic flow around faceted shapes is important in the context of the fragmentation and demise of satellites undergoing uncontrolled atmospheric entry. To better understand the physics of such flows, as well as the satellite demise process, we perform an experimental study of the Mach 5 flow around a cuboid geometry in the Univ...
The facet effect has been well demonstrated for nanocrystal catalysis, however it is rarely revealed in metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, we present a facile way to construct 2D zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) with dominant exposure of the (002) facets. We discovered that the ZIF-67 (002) facet exhibited the highest catalytic acti...
