Examining Causes of Racial Disparities in General Surgical Mortality: Hospital Quality Versus Patient Risk. [PDF]

Med Care, 2015
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in general surgical outcomes are known to exist but not well understood. OBJECTIVES: To determine if black-white disparities in general surgery mortality for Medicare patients are attributable to poorer health status among ...

Dynamics and seismic performance of asymmetric rocking bridges [PDF]

, 2022
The governing equations of motion for bridges with rocking piers of unequal height and unequal span lengths are derived accounting for the effect of end joint gaps and the abutment-backfill system.

Bausteine zu einer Oral History der Wissenschaftsgeschichte Interview mit Dieter Hoffmann

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 378-412, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Wie kann man einen historischen Blick auf das eigene Fach werfen? Diese Frage ist nicht einfach zu beantworten – will man einerseits nicht in einer Nabelschau und Hagiographie enden, andererseits aber auch keinen umfassenden Entwurf einer zukünftigen Historiographie vorlegen.

Do honey badgers and greater honeyguide birds cooperate to access bees' nests? Ecological evidence and honey‐hunter accounts

Journal of Zoology, Volume 321, Issue 1, Page 22-32, September 2023., 2023
Greater honeyguide birds are known to lead people to bees' nests, and it has been repeatedly stated that honeyguides similarly guide honey badgers. Here, we review the evidence that honey badgers and honeyguides cooperate to access bees' nests, drawing from the published literature, from our own observations whilst studying both species, and by ...

Im Maschinenraum des neuen IPCC‐Berichts

Physik in unserer Zeit, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 274-280, November 2022., 2022
Der jüngst veröffentlichte 6. Sachstandsbericht des Weltklimarates IPCC konnte einige zentrale Aussagen zum vergangenen und künftigen menschengemachten Klimawandel in bislang nie dagewesener Deutlichkeit tätigen. Dies wurde durch die weltweite Zusammenarbeit in der Klimaforschung möglich und baut ganz wesentlich auf den Erkenntnissen auf, für die Klaus

Comparison of the arm‐lowering performance between Gorilla and Homo through musculoskeletal modeling

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 399-416, July 2022., 2022
Arm‐lowering muscles like teres major have an enhanced moment arm (perpendicular distance between joint center and force line of action) in Gorilla compared to Homo due to a more distal muscle insertion along the humerus. The moment arm is further enhanced by a cranial glenoid, which changes the position of the joint center relative to the muscle ...

Ontogenetic changes to metacarpal trabecular bone structure in mountain and western lowland gorillas

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 1, Page 82-100, July 2022., 2022
This study investigates the ontogenetic changes in trabecular structure in western lowland and mountain gorilla third metacarpals and how these changes may reflect locomotor behaviour throughout development. We found that metacarpal trabecular structure reflects a higher frequency of grasping in early ontogeny and a shift to predominant knuckle walking

Optimized Charge Transport in Molecular Semiconductors by Control of Fluid Dynamics and Crystallization in Meniscus‐Guided Coating

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 32, Issue 2, January 10, 2022., 2022
A systematic investigation of the crystallization of 2,7‐dioctyl[1]benzothieno[3,2‐b] [1]benzothiophene (C8‐BTBT) during a meniscus‐guided coating is presented. Via computational modelling of the fluid dynamics and the crystallization, three casting‐speed‐dependent morphological subregimes are identified: I) isotropic domain‐like; II) unidirectional ...

Integrating Blue Energy in Maritime Spatial Planning of Mediterranean Regions [PDF]

, 2022
Blue Energy (BE) is expected to play a strategic role in the energy transition of Europe, particularly toward the 2050 horizon. It refers to a set of Marine Energy Sources (MES), including offshore wind, waves, tides, marine currents, sea thermal energy,

Temperature‐Responsive Nanoparticles Enable Specific Binding of Apolipoproteins from Human Plasma

Small, Volume 18, Issue 3, January 20, 2022., 2022
Apolipoproteins are proteins in human plasma which provide stealth effect to nanoparticles, resulting in less unspecific cellular uptake and prolonged blood circulation time. Herein, the specific binding of apolipoproteins around temperature‐responsive nanoparticles when incubating the nanoparticles in human plasma is observed.
