The Lorenz curve

, 2017
Existing HIV care cascade metrics fail to capture whether viremia is equally distributed in a population or concentrated within groups. We applied the Lorenz curve, which has been used to describe disparities in the distribution of income and other resources, to the distribution of viremia in a safety-net HIV clinic in 2012.

Posterior tibial slope measurement on lateral radiographs shows increased variability, reduced repeatability and risk of misclassification in osteoarthritic versus nonosteoarthritic knees

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The primary aim was to compare the variability and repeatability of medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) measurements on lateral knee radiographs between osteoarthritic (OA) and non‐OA knees, and the secondary aim was to assess their implications for clinical classification.

Shift from inpatient to outpatient treatment in all age groups of anterior cruciate ligament surgery in Germany: An analysis of the public healthcare system

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are among the most common orthopaedic diagnoses with severe short‐ and long‐term consequences for patients. The aim of the study was to analyze trends of inpatient and outpatient treatment of ACL injuries in Germany.

Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Propagation of internal gravity waves: Optimal vertical discretisation and grid design based on numerical error analysis

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An energy‐conserving discrete framework for the vertical discretisation of stratified ocean models is developed using internal gravity‐wave theory. A β$$ \beta $$‐indexed family of schemes is analysed through perturbation theory, revealing optimal parameter choices and grid designs that reduce truncation errors significantly.

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...

Spontaneous zonal symmetry breaking of tropical rain belt

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitable‐water snapshots show how a sea surface temperature (SST)‐forced tropical rain belt can remain zonally elongated or spontaneously reorganize into a localized convective cluster. The simulations identify the SST conditions favoring this zonal convective self‐aggregation and relate the transition to changes in boundary‐layer circulation and ...

Contribution of the Baobab Value Chain to Equitable Rural Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation in Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐timber forest products (NTFPs) are central to income diversification and livelihood resilience in Sub‐Saharan Africa. However, the welfare implications of baobab commercialisation remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by analysing the contribution of the baobab value chain to household income, poverty reduction, and income ...
