Six‐ and Twelve‐Month Changes in Body Composition and 24‐h Energy Expenditure After a Very Low‐Calorie Ketogenic Diet

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study assessed changes in body composition and 24‐h energy metabolism at 6 and 12 months after initiation of a 1‐month very low‐calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in women with obesity. Methods Seventeen women with obesity who completed a 1‐month VLCKD underwent a 4‐week transition phase with carbohydrate reintroduction, followed by

Experimental Characterization of PCI Sensitivity for Industrial Ultrasonic Testing Applications

e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) is a recent evolution of the Total Focusing Method (TFM) in ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Unlike TFM, PCI relies exclusively on phase information and produces normalized coherence factors instead of amplitude ...

Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

Robust Beamforming for Ultrasonic Imaging using Wavelet-based Thresholding and Coherence Weighting [PDF]

International Journal of Industrial Electronics, Control and Optimization
The delay-and-sum (DS) beamforming and delay-weight-and-sum (DWS) beamforming are primary methods in ultrasonic imaging with phased arrays. Total focusing method (TFM) and Minimum Variance (MV) based adaptive beamforming are well-known methods within DS ...

Integrating technical and scientific approaches to restore rupicolous plants threatened by climbing activities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rocky habitats are fragile ecosystems that host unique biodiversity and are increasingly threatened by the rapid expansion of outdoor climbing. In the northwestern region of El Bierzo (Spain), populations of the endemic rupicolous species Petrocoptis grandiflora and P. pyrenaica ssp. viscosa have experienced severe declines linked
