Patient and public involvement in randomized trials of lifestyle intervention among pregnant women with obesity: An umbrella review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Obesity increases the risk of obstetric and neonatal complications, and adherence to lifestyle interventions during pregnancy presents a challenge. Patient and public involvement (PPI) in trials may foster a more patient‐centered approach, potentially improving compliance with intervention and follow up.

Exploring Soot Particle Concentration and Emissivity by Transient Thermocouples Measurements in Laminar Partially Premixed Coflow Flames

Energies, 2017
Soot formation in combustion represents a complex phenomenon that strongly depends on several factors such as pressure, temperature, fuel chemical composition, and the extent of premixing. The effect of partial premixing on soot formation is of relevance

A Noise-Robust Method with Smoothed \ell_1/\ell_2 Regularization for Sparse Moving-Source Mapping

, 2016
The method described here performs blind deconvolution of the beamforming output in the frequency domain. To provide accurate blind deconvolution, sparsity priors are introduced with a smooth \ell_1/\ell_2 regularization term. As the mean of the noise in

Retrieval of ice-nucleating particle concentrations from lidar observations and comparison with UAV in situ measurements [PDF]

, 2019
Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large spatial scale and as a function of height determines their impact ...

Human Capital Robotic Integration and Value Creation for Organizations

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the research conversation has drifted from viewing robots as replacements for humans (i.e., the substitute view) to a view that considers the possible benefits of human–robot collaboration in the workplace (i.e., the complementary view).

Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...

Laser-Powered Homogeneous Pyrolysis (LPHP) of Lignin Dispersed into Gas Phase

Molecules
The gas-phase delivery of lignin into the hot zone of cw-CO2 laser-powered homogeneous pyrolysis (LPHP) reactor under “wall-less” conditions led to the breakdown of lignin macromolecules into neutral oligomers and paramagnetic fragments deposited onto ...

Impacts of Organic Structures and Inherent Minerals of Coal on Soot Formation during Pyrolysis

Energies, 2019
The pyrolysis of four pairs of raw and acid-washed coals under N2 atmosphere was carried out in a drop tube reactor at 1250 °C. The results show that both organic structures and metal elements have an important influence on the formation of soot ...

The Illusion of Structural Order: Evaluating the Suppression of Amorphous Carbon Black Pigment Bands in SSE‐Processed Handheld Raman Spectra

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The handheld Raman with SSE system efficiently mitigates fluorescence; however, it may also bias the Raman response towards graphitic domains in carbon‐based black pigments, thereby concealing amorphous carbon contributions that are critical for pigment type identification.
