PFAS Exposure and Postoperative Weight Regain in Adolescents After Bariatric Surgery: Findings From the Teen-LABS Study. [PDF]

Obesity (Silver Spring)
Elevated baseline PFAS levels, particularly PFOS, PFHxS, and PFHpS, were associated with greater BMI regain, reduced weight loss, and increased waist circumference in adolescents after bariatric surgery. These sulfonic acid PFAS showed a dose‐dependent effect on BMI regain.

Impact of Yeast Types on Quality Characteristics and Storage Stability of Industrial Kefir. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Kefir is a fermented dairy product that contains many types of lactic acid bacteria and different types of yeast. Due to the CO2 released as a result of the fermentation of yeast, deformities and swelling occur in the packaging of the products, which creates a problem because it is perceived as damaged by consumers.

Getting credit for proactivity? The effects of gender

Journal of Applied Social Psychology, Volume 52, Issue 8, Page 660-675, August 2022., 2022
Abstract With our research, we contribute to the research on proactive work behavior in two ways. First, we examine a person's gender as a boundary condition for proactive behavior at work. Based on social role theory, we argue that women are less likely to receive credit for showing personal initiative (PI) than men.

Impact of instantaneous solar irradiance on refrigeration characteristics of household PCM storage air conditioning directly driven by distributed photovoltaic energy

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 752-771, March 2022., 2022
In order to promote household PV air conditioning large scale and industrial utilization, the cheap and technically mature ice thermal storage, substituting for battery bank, was adopted to store solar energy in this paper. A 3HP household air conditioning assisted with this phase.

The structure of sodium silicate glass from neutron diffraction and modeling of oxygen‐oxygen correlations

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 104, Issue 12, Page 6155-6171, December 2021., 2021
Sodium ions in sodium silicate glasses have a strong preference to bond to four non‐bridging oxygens, and they also bond to a smaller number of bridging oxygens. Na‐NBO bonds are more widely distributed than Na–BO bonds, extending to shorter and longer distances. Abstract It is shown that modeling the first oxygen‐oxygen peak in the neutron correlation

Behavioural biometrics: Using smartphone keyboard activity as a proxy for rest–activity patterns

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 30, Issue 5, October 2021., 2021
Summary Rest–activity patterns are important aspects of healthy sleep and may be disturbed in conditions like circadian rhythm disorders, insomnia, insufficient sleep syndrome, and neurological disorders. Long‐term monitoring of rest–activity patterns is typically performed with diaries or actigraphy.

Relative Catch Performance of Two Gear Modifications Used to Reduce Bycatch of Undersized Fish and Shrimp in Mediterranean Bottom Trawl Fisheries

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 518-533, October 2021., 2021
Abstract The catch of large quantities of sublegal‐sized fish and shrimp is a pervasive feature of bottom trawl fisheries, particularly in the Mediterranean demersal mixed fisheries where regulations traditionally allow small mesh sizes. To address these concerns, two bottom trawl net selectivity trials were carried out in 2019 and 2020 on fishing ...

Quantum State Smoothing [PDF]

, 2015
Smoothing is an estimation method whereby a classical state (probability distribution for classical variables) at a given time is conditioned on all-time (both past and future) observations.

Strong squeezing via phonon mediated spontaneous generation of photon pairs

New Journal of Physics, 2014
We propose a scheme for generating squeezed light by using a double-cavity optomechanical system driven by a blue detuned laser in one cavity and by a red detuned laser in the other.
