Background: Correct inhaler use can be challenging in real life, with incorrect use resulting in poor symptom control. The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with poor inhaler technique and poor therapy adherence among patients with obstructive lung disease in community pharmacies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are an important class of media that are usually used in combination with polar solvents to reduce costs and tune their physicochemical properties. In this regard, it is essential to understand the influence of adding solvents on the properties of ILs. In this work, the micro-heterogeneity and H-bonding interactions between a hy...

Muscle weakness is a common clinical symptom in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). It is caused by impaired neural ability and altered intrinsic capacity of the muscles. To define the contribution of decreased muscle size to muscle weakness, two cohorts were recruited in this cross-sectional investigation: 53 children with SCP [median age,...

BACKGROUND: A validated, standardized, and feasible test to assess muscle power in older adults has recently been reported: the sit-to-stand (STS) muscle power test. This investigation aimed to assess the relationship between relative STS power and age and to provide normative data, cut-off points, and minimal clinically important differences (MCID...

Austenite plays a key role to improve tensile properties of advanced high strength steel (AHSS). In this study, nano-sized austenite particle was produced in as-quenched martensite by using chemically heterogeneous initial microstructure consisting of Mn-enriched cementite and ferritic matrix. Mn-enriched cementite transforms into nano-sized austen...

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural and material response of ambient-dry and wet clay-brick/lime-mortar masonry elements. In addition to cyclic tests on four large-scale masonry walls subjected to lateral in-plane displacement and co-existing compressive gravity load, the study also includes complementary tests on ...

Shannon’s entropy measure is a popular means for quantifying ecological diversity. We explore how one can use information-theoretic measures (that are often called indices in ecology) on joint ensembles to study the diversity of species interaction networks. We leverage the little-known balance equation to decompose the network information into thr...
