Postpartum weight retention contributes to maternal obesity and varies by ethnicity. Despite the well-established benefits of lifestyle intervention on weight management, little is known about how to engage postpartum women effectively, especially among ethnic minority groups. This multi-methods study aimed to explore ethnic differences in women's ...

We identify generic protocols achieving optimal power extraction from a single active particle subject to continuous feedback control under the assumption that the instantaneous velocity, but not the fluctuating self-propulsion velocity, is accessible to direct observation. Our Bayesian approach draws on the Onsager-Machlup path integral formalism ...

BackgroundUndernutrition remains highly prevalent in African children, highlighting the need for accurately assessing dietary intake. In order to do so, the assessment method must be validated in the target population. A triple pass 24 h dietary recall with volumetric portion size estimation has been described but not previously validated in Africa...

Background: The extent to which digital technologies are employed to promote the delivery of high-quality healthcare is known as Digital Maturity. Individual and systemic digital maturity are both necessary to ensure a successful, scalable and sustainable digital transformation in healthcare. However, digital maturity in primary care has been scarc...

The neutronics and engineering properties of a composite radiation shielding material, W2B-W, are systematically investigated. Neutronics calculations using the MCNP code indicate that each additional 1 % volume fraction W2B reduces the neutron energy flux into the superconducting core by 0.4–0.9 %, and reduces the gamma flux by 1.0–2.2 %, dependin...

Although alterations in myeloid cells have been observed in COVID-19, the specific underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we examine the function of classical CD14+ monocytes in patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 during the acute phase of infection and in healthy individuals. Monocytes from COVID-19 patients display altere...

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has high global health concerns, and previous research proposed various indicators to predict mortality, such as the distance-saturation product (DSP), derived from the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and the low-attenuation area percentage (LAA%) in pulmonary computed tomographic images. However, th...

Bayesian Optimization is a useful tool for experiment design. Unfortunately, the classical, sequential setting of Bayesian Optimization does not translate well into laboratory experiments, for instance battery design, where measurements may come from different sources and their evaluations may require significant waiting times. Multi-fidelity Bayes...
