Higher order gravities and the Strong Equivalence Principle

, 2017
We show that, in all metric theories of gravity with a general covariant action, gravity couples to the gravitational energy-momentum tensor in the same way it couples to the matter energy-momentum tensor order by order in the weak field approximation ...

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

Simplification of selective imaging of dislocation loops: diffraction-selected on-zone STEM

Philosophical Magazine Letters
Contrary to the conventional belief that, in transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selective and sharp imaging of dislocation loops can be realized only by accurate tilting of a specimen from the condition that the symmetrical axis of incident electron

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Multiple Knee Points in the Degradation of a Commercial Lithium-ion Battery: A Case Study of the NCM/Graphite System

Electrochemistry
Lithium-ion batteries are used on an increasingly large scale, making their lifetime prediction a critical issue. Especially, a rapid decrease in capacity after the mild degradation period, referred to as the knee point, is often observed, and thus ...

Ballistic charge transport in chiral-symmetric few-layer graphene

, 2010
A transfer matrix approach to study ballistic charge transport in few-layer graphene with chiral-symmetric stacking configurations is developed. We demonstrate that the chiral symmetry justifies a non-Abelian gauge transformation at the spectral ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

The role of projects of common interest in reaching Europe’s energy policy targets

Environmental Research Letters
The European Union aims to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050, with interim 2030 targets including 55% greenhouse gas emissions reduction compared to 1990 levels, 10 Mt of domestic green hydrogen production, and 50 Mt of domestic CO _2 injection capacity

Hyperelastic cloaking theory: Transformation elasticity with pre-stressed solids

, 2012
Transformation elasticity, by analogy with transformation acoustics and optics, converts material domains without altering wave properties, thereby enabling cloaking and related effects.
