types of gasoline as the density of gasoline, i.e., 0.7273333 g/mL. Therefore, each litre of gasoline emitted 2.3241852 kg CO2, i.e., the carbon emission factor of the gasoline vehicles was 2.3241852 kg CO2/L. Models Carbon emission model for the driving phase of BEVs We developed a m...
Finally, instead of a risk factor, some studies have suggested that TBI plays a risk-modifying role for individuals with higher genetic risk for SCZ (Kim, 2008). 1.3. Study aims Capitalising on the large sample size, long-term follow-up, and comprehensive, high-quality data offered in the...
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the indicators for COVID-19 monitoring and the dynamic of jumps across six major financial markets including China, France, Italy, Germany, the UK, and the US. First, this paper finds that jumps occu
factor is changes in schools’ production of non-cognitive abilities over time. However, our results show no evidence of systematic changes in schools’ production of skills. Concisely, our approach isolates systematic changes in grades at the school level, unrelated to a cohort's pre school-...

It is exactly on such basis that assessment systems are viewed as high-stakes when they have grave consequences for students (Thomas, 2005; Ysseldyke et al., 2004). Hence, the identifying factor for considering a test as high-stakes is the attribution of consequences to the outcomes. Such ...
Besides SARS-CoV-2-associated cytokines such as interleukin (IL), −1b, IL-17, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alter the BBB permeability and could enable the entrance of the virus [79], [80]. 1.7. Effects on the spleen The spleen is associated with important physiological ...
The traffic speed under traffic diversions before and during road infrastructure construction processes is the major factor influencing the overall environmental impact (endpoint). Keywords: traffic diversion; traffic congestion; COPERT V model; urban road infrastructure; vehicle emissions...
As far as the BEV configuration is concerned, the burdens are greater than those of the conventional ones (by a factor of two in the CFF scenario and by 66–83% in the avoided burden scenario), mainly due to the impacts related to the treatment of the Li-ion batteries. In addition, ...
To assess the proportionality assumption, we checked for interaction between each risk factor and time since AIDS diagnosis; for highly active antiretroviral therapy, a time-dependent covariate, we assessed interaction with time since start of treatment. Because the risk associated with homelessness incr...
