• 7min (±2SD range 120-608min), decreasing sharply to 262.1min in the first trimester and more gradually thereafter. Vigorous and moderate activity decreased more than light activity. TST and PAD were significantly associated with age, parity, and pregestational body fat percentage; lean body mass was negatively correlated with TST. Results were…[Read more]

  • Meanwhile, a discriminative viewpoint instance discovery method is also proposed to discard the viewpoint instances unfavorable for action characterization. The wide-range experiments on five data sets demonstrate that our proposition can significantly enhance the performance of cross-view 3-D action recognition. And, it is also applicable to…[Read more]

  • There is no correlation of the aquaporin 3 expression with age, sex, body mass index, duration of agonal period and postmortem interval. Concerning aquaporin 1, there were no differences between injured and uninjured skin. Aquaporin 3 is independently from the kind of skin injury and appears to be a valuable immunohistochemical parameter of…[Read more]

  • In recent years, Zn-based materials have been extensively investigated as potential candidates for biodegradable implant applications. The introduction of alloying elements providing solid-solution strengthening and second phase strengthening seems crucial to provide a suitable platform for the thermo-mechanical strengthening of Zn alloys. In this…[Read more]

  • Urbanization is an important human-driven process that leads to biodiversity loss and alters the interactions between organisms, including disease transmission. Although urbanization affects both host and vector communities, the effects on vector-borne pathogens are still poorly understood. Here, we monitored variation in prevalence and richness…[Read more]
