BACKGROUND Whereas specific immunotherapy (SIT) has already been shown to be cost-effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis compared with symptomatic treatment, only a small number of investigations have compared sublingual (SLIT) and subcutaneous (SCIT) immunotherapeutic approaches. This analysis discusses the cost-effectiveness of SCIT compared with SLIT and a symptomatic treatment moda...

Abstract. Antarctic sea ice is an important component of the Earth system. However, its role in system still unclear due to limited sea-ice thickness (SIT) data. A reliable reanalysis can be useful study SIT and Among various products, Global Ice-Ocean Modeling Assimilation System (GIOMAS) output widely used research ice. As more observations with quality control are being released, a further e...

Abstract. The effect of the air–sea interaction on Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) was investigated using one-column ocean model Snow–Ice–Thermocline (SIT 1.06) embedded in Community Atmosphere Model 5.3 (CAM5.3; hereafter CAM5–SIT v1.0). SIT with 41 vertical layers developed to simulate sea surface temperature (SST) and upper-ocean variations a high resolution that resolves cool skin diurnal w...

Breaking up periods of prolonged sitting can negate harmful metabolic effects but the influence on appetite and gut hormones is not understood and is investigated in this study. Thirteen sedentary (7 female) participants undertook three 5-h trials in random order: (i) uninterrupted sitting (SIT), (ii) seated with 2-min bouts of light-intensity walking every 20 min (SIT + LA), and (iii) seated w...

We investigate four-dimensional N=1 Type IIB orientifolds with continuous Wilson lines, and their T-dual realizations as orientifolds with moving branes. When continuous Wilson lines become discrete the gauge symmetry is enhanced and the T-dual orientifold corresponds to branes sitting at the orbifold fixed points. There is a field theoretic analog describing these phenomena as D-and F-flat def...

The effect of squid ink tyrosinase (SIT) and tannic acid (TA) on the properties of myofibrillar protein films from washed sardine mince was studied. The film made from film forming solution added with SIT (5 k units L-1) and TA (1 g L1) had the highest tensile strength (TS) (9.49 ± 0.11 MPa) but lowest elongation at break (EAB) (25.91 ± 1.81%) (P<0.05). The addition of mixture of SIT and TA red...

Abstract. We present a method to combine CryoSat-2 (CS2) radar altimeter and Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture (SAR) data obtain sea ice thickness (SIT) estimates for the Barents Kara seas. From viewpoint of tactical navigation, along-track SIT are sparse, goal our study is develop interpolate measurements between CS2 ground tracks. The estimation developed here based on interpolation utilizing SAR...

BACKGROUND In a previous controlled study, we demonstrated that preseasonal grass pollen immunotherapy for 3 years was effective in children. Moreover, a significant clinical benefit could still be observed 6 years after discontinuation of specific immunotherapy (SIT). In the current study, we examined the same group of patients again to investigate whether there is a prolonged benefit 12 years...

Recently, several studies have examined whether low-volume sprint interval training (SIT) may improve aerobic and metabolic function. The objective of this study was to systematically review the existing literature regarding the aerobic and metabolic effects of SIT in healthy sedentary or recreationally active adults. A systematic literature search was performed (Bibliotek.dk, SPORTDiscus, Emba...
