Molecular dynamics simulations of the diffusion of trans-2-butene in zeolite type MEL at 623 K have revealed an initial increase of the self-diffusivity with increasing loading, in contrast to simulation data collected for the other butene isomers. This is usually the signature of repulsive guest-guest interactions. At higher loadings, however, the concentration dependence was shown to decrease...

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY / PRINCIPLES Interest groups advocate centre-specific outcome data as a useful tool for patients in choosing a hospital for their treatment and for decision-making by politicians and the insurance industry. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) requires significant infrastructure and represents a cost-intensive procedure. It therefore qualifies as a prime target ...

Systemic arterial hypertension is an important cause of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. African Americans are disproportionately affected by hypertension, in fact the incidence, prevalence, and severity of hypertension is highest among African American (AA) women. Previous data suggests that differential gene expression influences individual susceptibility to selected diseases a...

Abstract. China is one of the major forest countries in world, and accurate estimation its biomass carbon (C) pool critical for evaluating country's C budget ecosystem services forests. Although several studies have estimated China's using national inventory data, most them were limited to period 2004–2008. In this study, we extended our recent 2014–2018. Using datasets eight periods from 1977 ...

In urban planning, sustainability is often synonymous to livability. Urban livability seeks improve living conditions of current and future outdoor users hence it has become a key priority for cities authorities. Melbourne, as the world second most livable city, sets out its life quality through various policies initiatives. One area improvement creation sustainable spaces that provides comfort...

Modern indoor lighting faces the challenge of finding an appropriate balance between energy consumption, legal requirements, visual performance, and circadian effectiveness a spectrum. Multi-channel LED luminaires have option keeping image-forming metrics steady while varying melanopic radiance through metamer spectra for non-visual purposes. Here, we propose theoretical concept automated smart...

Psychopathology in childhood and adolescence, commonly indexed by co-occurring internalizing externalizing problem behaviors, has been found to predict psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) adults. However, studies date have rarely examined behaviors simultaneously or identified which developmental period do these PLEs This study tests what extent (4–9 years) adolescence (11–16 young-adulthood (18 ...

Abstract: Plastic garbage from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottle waste is a significant amount that, if improperly managed, would continue to grow and pollute the environment. Meanwhile, that has been appropriately processed can be turned into briquettes (charcoal). This study aims examine manufacture of mixture plastic synthetic materials in form patchwork paper with Sidoarjo mud adhesiv...
