Furthermore, a steady rise in T2D prevalence is observed in sub-Saharan Africa [3]. The reasons for the disproportionate burden of T2D among African-ancestry populations are not completely understood. Inflammatory processes have been implicated in the development and progression of T2D [4]. Such ...
Concurrent heatwaves and extreme sea levels could pose a serious threat to coastal communities under climate change; however, the spatiotemporal characteristics and dynamic evolution of them along global coastline remain poorly understood. Here, we use reanalysis datasets and model projections to assess ...
Two types of external effects of decisions play no role in the decision process: those that are unknown (i.e. the decision-maker is not aware of potential impacts of a decision, possibly not wanting to know as an ‘Ostrich’ strategy), and those about which the decision-maker simply does...

We found that mean relative TEER values of severe and non-severe YF groups were reduced in comparison to medium-only or control groups, indicating that serum components were capable of inducing varying degrees of endothelial hyperpermeability according to disease severity (Fig. 4a). Comparing the ...
These demands are of varying degrees, ranging from low-level expectations, where basic look-up skills according to the letters of the alphabet are assumed to have been mastered already (as needed when using a word-based dictionary), to medium-level expectations (such as being able to look up...
The study was approved by the higher degrees research and ethics committee (HDREC) of Makerere University College of Health Sciences and finally by the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST). Permission was sought from the local government in the districts of study and school...
part. Normal indoor escalators have a slope of 30 or 35 degrees, much like a staircase, but the slope of the hillside in Hong Kong meant that a variety of gradients was required. Several of the escalators have a 17-degree incline and these had to be custom manufactured just for this ...
In Southern California, all estuaries are low-inflow estuaries and are threatened by both continued urbanization and climate change. More than 100 estuaries line the highly urbanized Southern California coastline (Fig. 1 and Doughty et al. 2018), all with varying degrees of physical modifications, ...
