BACKGROUND The UK population is ageing; improved understanding of risk factors for hospital admission is required. Linkage of the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS) with Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data has created a multiple-failure survival dataset detailing the characteristics of 2,997 individuals at baseline (1998-2004, average age 66 years) and their hospital admissions (regarded as 'f...

Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is one of the most essential hydraulic properties that play fundamental role in various environmental issues and management. SWCC gives important information for movement, soil behavior, infiltration, drainage mechanism, affecting circle aquifer recharge. Since world’s freshwater withdrawals go irrigation uses, decoding beneficial, as it affects saving thr...

SUMMARY Phylogenetic Web Profiler (PWP) is a web-based service designed to perform phylogenetic profiling of proteins against genomes. The current version offers a selection of 63 completed genomes and available plasmids as annotated in the PEDANT genome database. Unlike currently available applications, this tool offers several choices of ortholog prediction parameters including E-value cutoff...

Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating neurological that can result in reduced quality of life for people with (PwP) and their families. The incidence PD continues to increase as the global population ages, being experienced Tanzania much sub-Saharan Africa, yet healthcare systems are under-developed not prepared manage burden posed by chronic conditions. Little known ab...

Slope instability triggered by rainfall is common in tropical countries like India, where the soil of hill slopes are generally unsaturated condition, having higher strength than saturated condition due to matric suction. This study aims investigate change pore water pressure (PWP) with infiltration into slope and corresponding effect stability on different from regions India. By applying surfa...

Very little is known about the experience of people living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in low- and middle-income countries, such as those sub-Saharan Africa. The number specialists region low awareness limited among population healthcare professionals. Drawing on ten months ethnographic fieldwork urban rural Kenya 55 PD (PwP), 23 family members 22 professionals from public private clinics, we...

OBJECTIVE In Parkinson's disease (PD), commonly reported risk factors for malnutrition in other populations commonly occur. Few studies have explored which of these factors are of particular importance in malnutrition in PD. The aim was to identify the determinants of nutritional status in people with Parkinson's disease (PWP). METHODS Community-dwelling PWP (>18 years) were recruited (n = 12...
