This study set out to examine the associations between psychological, biomedical and socio-demographic factors in childhood and adulthood associated with the occurrence of self-reported eye conditions in adulthood. In total, 5706 participants with complete data on parental social class at birth, cognitive ability accessed at age 11 years, abnormal eye conditions by the age of 16 years diagnosed...

The mm-to-cm range of the Spectral Energy Distribution spiral galaxies remains largely unexplored. Its coverage is required to disentangle contribution dust emission, free-free and synchrotron radiation can provide constraints on models, star-formation rates ISM properties. We present case for a synergy between NIKA2 observations nearby spirals those from planned current instrumentation at Sard...

Present-on-admission modifiers for International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes are rapidly becoming a standard coding requirement. Inaccurate coding of these modifiers can distort analyses of risk-adjusted outcomes and determinations of hospital reimbursement. A set of 12 screens for the plausibility of present-on-admission designat...

Intensity maps of the 21cm emission line neutral hydrogen are lensed by intervening large-scale structure, similar to lensing cosmic microwave background temperature map. We extend previous work calculating contribution full-sky bispectrum in redshift space. The tends peak when equal-redshift fluctuations a lower fluctuation. At high redshift, effects can become comparable contributions from de...

OBJECTIVES Implementation of the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding system presents challenges for using administrative data. Recognizing this, we conducted a multistep process to develop ICD-10 coding algorithms to define Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of the res...

The objective of this work was to develop models predicting the combined effects of relative humidity (RH, 75-98%), temperature (5-25 degrees C), and initial applied yeast concentration (10(4)-10(8) CFU/ml) on the apple-surface population densities of two biocontrol agents fused against postharvest diseases; the antagonistic yeasts Pichia anomala strain K and Candida oleophila strain O. Experim...
