Vitamin D Insufficiency Is Associated with Lower Physical Function in Patients with Heart Failure and Diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Vitamin D deficiency is frequent among patients with heart failure (HF) and diabetes, disorders associated with exercise intolerance and muscle weakness. This study aims to search for associations between vitamin D sufficiency and physical function indexes in patients with HF and diabetes. A cross‐sectional study of 146 HF patients, 39.7% with diabetes,

Reputation in International Trade: Evidence From the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

open access: yesReview of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 219-242, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A country's reputation may be an important determinant of its ability to export, but the effect is difficult to isolate from underlying product attributes. We consider the trade impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ask whether damage to the Japanese reputation for food safety played a role in its impact. The disaster led to a large and

Environmental Factors Influencing Foraging Activity in the Social Wasp Polybia paulista (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Epiponini)

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Foraging behavior in social wasps is important in the development of the colony and reflects an important ecological interaction between the colony and the environment. Although the social traits of the colony play a role in the foraging activities, the conditions that establish the space and time limits are mainly physical.

Study of the Sedimentation Characteristics of Solids in Carwash Wastewater

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study evaluated solids sedimentation in carwash wastewater, highlighting the predominance of sand. A surface application rate of 1.5 m·h−1 was proposed to optimize settler design, achieving ~75% solids removal. ABSTRACT Studies evaluating the sedimentation of solid particles in carwash wastewater (CWW) are scarce.

Does traffic‐related air pollution exposure alter blood gas parameters in recreationally trained male cyclists during prolonged endurance exercise?

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, June 2025.
Changes in blood gas parameters following a 50‐km cycling time trial performed in a real‐world air‐polluted environment. Abstract Exposure to air pollution has been a significant challenge in large cities as São Paulo, Brazil, particularly for individuals exercising outdoors. The increasing on ventilation (VE) during physical effort can lead to greater

Robust and intelligent control of quadrotors subject to wind gusts

open access: yesIET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 18, Issue 18, Page 2594-2611, December 2024.
This work proposes the development of robust and intelligent architectures for position control of quadrotors affected by wind gusts. In addition, we performed a comparative study using three other widely used controllers. Abstract The combination of artificial neural networks with advanced control techniques has shown great potential to reject ...
