X-axis: absolute standardized mean difference from 0 to 0.5 where a value larger than 0.5 was plotted as 0.5. A value of less than 0.1 indicates balance was achieved. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; ACE/ARB, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-...
The perturbation matrix provides the net average displacement of the residue from its equilibrium position when all the residues are perturbed by a unit force one at a time. The DFI score of a residue position “i” is defined as the ratio of its net response as all the residues in the ...
On the remediation strategies, adsorption injections were the most preferred method; however, recent studies reported other strategies such as catalytic filtration systems, an electron beam system, and good combustion practices. This review concluded that a lot has been done to manage and prevent PCDD...
The increased urbanization is causing pressure on many environmental sectors. How to mitigate these pressures is one of the major nowadays challenges. The rapid expansion of impermeable surfaces in our cities and consequent loss of green spaces is promoting an increase in air temperature, air pollutan...
The aim of the plant is to supply potable water to the same amount of people it provides electricity to. The net energy is calculated then by the difference between the total amount of energy generated within the HPP and the total amount of energy required to treat the wastewater. The ...
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) were measured with an electronic sphygmomanometer following 5 min of seated relaxation. Venous samples were collected for laboratory tests, such as creatinine (Cr), after an overnight fast. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was computed ...
The main problem is related to the large negative pressure due to the stack effect in the lower-floor apartments. Fans used in SRVUs are not capable of working under typical pressure conditions in multi-story buildings in cold periods [17,48]. Because the results of using SRVUs as a ...
Assuming that the capsule is relatively impermeable to albumin, the pressure difference between the liver tissue and peritoneal space (PL-PA) would have to overcome the tissue colloid osmotic pressure (≈ 25 mmHg) before there would be net fluid movement across the liver surface. As is discussed...
The rinsing step lasted 15 min and was performed without applied pressure at 1.7 m·s−1 crossflow velocity. Finally, the water permeability through the fiber was measured to assess the residual fouling. The ratio between the permeability measured during PW filtration and the initial clean water...
The net amount of recharge that reaches the water table and results in an associated water-table rise for an individual precipitation event is assumed to be diminished by the amount of ET and other near-surface processes. In theory, estimates of recharge associated with rises in the water ...
