A good and sustainable city requires compatibility between the various functions services that it provides its residents. This study examined relations development of new residential neighborhoods transportation infrastructure by applying Tiebout’s model club goods. Thus, we introduced spatial dimension into theory goods referring to as clubs their residents club’s members, who make location de...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of acute illnesses with significant impact on the mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of AKI allows clinicians to provide prophylactic interventions and to improve the outcomes of this deadly syndrome. Growing utilization and capabilities of electronic health records allow AKI risk stratification and early recognition with a potential ef...

There is increasing evidence that deleterious interactions between the lung and the kidney may be partly responsible for the multiorgan failure and high mortality seen in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Lung protective strategies can reduce many of the adverse mechanistic and biological effects of mechanical ventilation. However, the key modifiable mediators are yet to be def...

Macroscopic structural networks in the human brain have a rich-club architecture comprising both highly inter-connected central regions and sparsely connected peripheral regions. Recent studies show that disruption of this functionally efficient organisation is associated with several psychiatric disorders. However, despite increasing attention to this network property, whether age-associated c...

OBJECTIVES To explore the factors that facilitate or hinder the development of healthy tennis clubs in the Netherlands and to identify suitable interventions that would help clubs to reach 'healthy club' status. METHODS A maximum variation, purposive sampling strategy was used to identify and recruit board members (n=16) from 10 Dutch tennis clubs. Data were collected using in-depth interview...

Higher cognition may require the globally coordinated integration of specialized brain regions into functional networks. A collection of structural cortical hubs-referred to as the rich club-has been hypothesized to support task-specific functional integration. In the present paper, we use a whole-cortex model to estimate directed interactions between 68 cortical regions from functional magneti...

This study investigated the relationships between golfer hub path trajectories and interaction kinetics, and club behavior. An equation of motion describing a flexible golf club system was derived and solved to yield time and club position deflection behavior during the downswing. This equation was applied to three diverse subjects whose kinematic and kinetic information was used to drive the s...

This experiment assessed whether or not a golf club impact acoustic testing methodology using a fixed golf club/launched golf ball setup would record less error in the captured acoustic signatures than industry standard methodologies (a stationary ball/swinging club setup). Two steel-shafted golf drivers were tested using this new system that launched golf balls using a pressurized air cannon i...
