BACKGROUND Falls are a significant source of morbidity and mortality in older adults, with up to 53% of these falls due to tripping. To aid in preventing trip-related falls, the factors that increase an individual's risk of falling following a trip must be identified. This study investigated whether an older adult's gait influences their risk of failing following a trip. METHODS Trips were in...

Abstract In this work, a series of hypercrosslinked polymers intrinsic microporosity (HCP-PIMs), namely nitro-triptycene (TRIP-NO 2 ), amino-triptycene (TRIP-NH sulfonated-triptycene (TRIP-SO 3 H) and hydrocarbon-triptycene (TRIP-HC), are employed for the adsorption organic dyes from wastewater. The materials show efficient removal cationic (malachite green, MG) anionic (methyl orange, MO) dyes...

BACKGROUND Myofibroblasts are the critical effector cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis which carries a high degree of morbidity and mortality. We have previously identified Type II TGFβ receptor interacting protein 1 (TRIP-1), through proteomic analysis, as a key regulator of collagen contraction in primary human lung fibroblasts--a functional characteristic of myofibroblasts, and ...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract This paper presents an attempt of simulating daily fluctuations of river discharge at global scale. Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP) is a global river routing model which can help to isolate the river basins, inter-basin transport ...

This paper addresses the relationship between land use and destination selection, and the question of destination selection on travel mode choice. Specifically, this work focuses on internalized trips, a sub-category of trip making where both trip origin and trip destination are contained in the same geographic unit of analysis. This investigation uses data from the 1994 Household Activity and ...

Planning a trip to a particular destination can be a time consuming and daunting task. There is a wide range of information sources available, each claiming to present the best deals and the most complete tourist information. This information as well as the current weather, budget constraints, time constraints, and personal preferences all need to be taken into account when planning the perfect...
