We conducted a pilot study using a passive radio-wave-based home monitor in individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) with a focus on gait, home activity, and time in bed. We enrolled 7 ambulatory individuals to have the device installed in the bedroom of their homes over 8 weeks and performed standard PD assessments at baseline. We evaluated the abi...
There are only few very-high-energy sources in our Galaxy which might accelerate particles up to the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum. To understand the mechanisms of particle acceleration in these PeVatron candidates, Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. observations are essential to characterize their gamma-ray emission. HESS J1640-465 and the PeVatron candidat...
Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) is a rare human disorder caused by biallelic mutations in SIL1 characterized by cataracts in infancy, myopathy and ataxia, symptoms that are also associated with a novel disorder caused by mutations in INPP5K. While these phenotypic similarities may suggest commonalties at a molecular level, an overlapping pathomech...
Free rides and observational advantages occur in visualizations when they reveal facts that must be inferred from an alternative representation. Understanding whether these concepts correspond to cognitive advantages is important: do they facilitate information extraction, saving the `deductive cost' of making inferences? This paper presents the fi...
Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) can be used to simulate the self-assembly properties of surfactants in aqueous solution, but in order to simulate a new compound a large number of new parameters are required. New methods for calculation of reliable DPD param- eters directly from chemical structure are described, allowing the DPD approach to be a...
The zip file contains the "mechanism.txt" file, which is a chemical mechanism in CHEMKIN-format plain text file. The mechanism was calibrated using the developed framework in "Automated Calibration of a Poly(oxymethylene) Dimethyl Ether Oxidation Mechanism Using the Knowledge Graph Technology". An ontological representation for combustion experimen...
We examine how the market values operating assets in the presence of time-varying ex ante risk that these assets may be tunneled away. We analyze pairs of Chinese publicly listed firms and their non-listed parents and examine the market valuation of current assets (cash balances, trade receivables, receivables due from the controlling shareholders,...
Yersinia pestis ancient DNA has been identified in skeletons at four urban burial grounds in Cambridge, England, plus a nearby rural cemetery. Dating to between 1349 and 1561, these represent individuals who died of plague during the second pandemic. Most come from normative individual burials, rather than mass graves. This pattern represents a maj...
Human activities are degrading ecosystems worldwide, posing existential threats for biodiversity and humankind. Slowing and reversing this degradation requires profound and widespread changes to human behaviour. Behavioural scientists are therefore well placed to contribute intellectual leadership in this area. This Perspective aims to stimulate a ...
The contain data generated by the recogito software (https://recogito.pelagios.org/) in processing the text of Peter Graves' translation. of Linnaeus's Laplandfic Journey (Edinburgh Universioty Press, 1995). Recogito allows to tag place names with UUIDs and correlate these with geolocation data (taken from geonames). Locations can then be displayed...
