An international seroprevalence survey of the IgE sensitisation to the Dermatophagoides farinae house dust mite and two of its major allergens (Der f 2, Zen 1) in atopic dogs

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 117-e34, April 2022., 2022
Background – Dogs with atopic dermatitis are often immunoglobulin (Ig)E‐sensitised to Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) house dust mites, yet limited data exist on the sensitisation rates to the individual Df allergens, Der f 2 and Zen 1. Objectives – To determine the IgE sensitisation rates to Df, Der f 2 and Zen 1 in atopic dogs from geographically ...

A reliable and straightforward index to avoid nuisance trip of the conventional Z‐based loss‐of‐field relay in synchronous generators

IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1201-1211, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The conventional impedance (Z)‐based relay which is the well‐known relay to preserve the power plant's synchronous generator (PPSG) against loss of field (LOF) accident may fail during some stable power swing (SPS); on the other hand, most of the previously introduced schemes may fail during the happening of hybrid events.

Adverse muscle composition predicts all‐cause mortality in the UK Biobank imaging study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1513-1526, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Adverse muscle composition (MC) as measured by magnetic resonance imaging has previously been linked to poor function, comorbidity, and increased hospitalization. The aim of this study was to investigate if adverse MC predicts all‐cause mortality using data from UK Biobank.

Future projection of the health and functional status of older people in Japan: A multistate transition microsimulation model with repeated cross‐sectional data

Health Economics, Volume 30, Issue S1, Page 30-51, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Accurate future projections of population health are imperative to plan for the future healthcare needs of a rapidly aging population. Multistate‐transition microsimulation models, such as the U.S. Future Elderly Model, address this need but require high‐quality panel data for calibration.

Roosting ecology of endangered plant‐roosting bats on Okinawa Island: Implications for bat‐friendly forestry practices

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 20, Page 13961-13971, October 2021., 2021
We investigated the roosting ecology of two threatened island bats: the Ryukyu tube‐nosed bat Murina ryukyuana and Yanbaru whiskered bat Myotis yanbarensis. Murina ryukyuana roosted primarily in understory foliage, using tree cavities more often as maternity roosts, while M.

Wind Turbine Load Evaluation during Normal Operation

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2011
In late years, the renewable energy use is promoted, and, additionally, large-scale windfarms are constructed on a global scale by development of large and high efficiency wind turbine generator system (WTGS). As a WTGS grows larger, safety of WTGS tower
