In the last decade, several initiatives have been taken at a European level to adopt Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) by promoting coordination and stimulating integrated actions leading consistent views on its final goal: achievement of good environmental status (GES). holistic approach, MSFD fully acknowledges complexity variability marine ecosystems demands constant scientific supp...

The Information Technology and Systems Center (ITSC) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville has teamed with the Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) to develop and demonstrate the use of distributed web service technologies for science data analysis solutions. Many science data repositories are now providing online access to vast amounts of data. This proje...

This study presents an evaluation framework for the techno-economic-environmental (TEE) performance of integrated multi-vector energy networks (IMVENs) including geothermal energy. Geothermal storage (GES) offers huge potential both and supply can play a critical role in decarbonising heat load smart multi-energy grids. The two most common types GES, that is, high-temperature GES (HTGES) low-te...

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından rüzgâr ve güneş enerjisi; temiz, güvenilir, tükenmeyen düşük işletme maliyetli kaynaklarındandır. Bu araştırmada, simülasyon yönteminden yararlanılarak enerjisi santral (RES) (GES) yatırımlarının ekonomik performanslarının değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Rüzgâr yatırımını etkileyen girdi değişkenlerin farklı kombinasyonları simüle edilerek, RES GES yatırım pro...

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a non-organic gastrointestinal disorder that has a marked negative impact on quality of life. Compared with conventional pharmacological therapies, the traditional Chinese medicine weikangning (WKN) is a safe and effective treatment for FD. The present study aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the efficacy of WKN. The effect of different concentra...

The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive requires the EU Member States to estimate the level of anthropogenic impacts on their marine systems using 11 Descriptors. Assessing food web response to altered habitats is addressed by Descriptor 4 and its indicators, which are being developed for regional seas. However, the development of simple foodweb indicators able to assess the health of ...

BACKGROUND Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is a therapeutic option for intractable symptoms of gastroparesis (GP). Idiopathic GP (ID-GP) represents a subset of GP. AIMS A prospective, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Enterra GES in the treatment of chronic vomiting in ID-GP. METHODS Thirty-two ID-GP subjects (mean age 39; 8...

BACKGROUND Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy (GES) at intervals over 4 hours after a standardized radio-labeled meal is commonly regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing gastroparesis. The objectives of this study were: 1) to investigate the best time point and the best combination of multiple time points for diagnosing gastroparesis with repeated GES measures, and 2) to contrast and cross-vali...
