This article discusses results from an international contest, open for university student teams (bachelor and master), involving the design, construction, and testing of small wind turbines in a large wind tunnel. The wind tunnel has an outlet of 2.85 x 2.85 m allowing a maximum rotor swept area of 2 …

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurobiological condition affecting about 1% of the population, characterized by repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, and communication deficiencies. While ASD has both genetic and environmental influences, the role heritable yet non genetic gastrointestinal …

Clonal haematopoiesis of intermediate potential (CHIP) driven by somatic mutations in DNMT3A and TET2 has been recently recognized as a new risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The haematopoietic clones with mutations in these genes are frequently found in myeloid malignancies and according …

BACKGROUND: Integrated care is essential for improving the management and health outcomes for people with Parkinson's disease (PD); reliable and objective measures of care integration are few. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Rainbow Model of Integrated …

Inset plots can be used to “zoom in” on densely populated areas of a graph or to add extra relevant data in the form of, for example, distribution plots. However, the standard Stata command for combining plots, graph combine, does not permit this type of seamless integration. Each plot within a graph …

Background Inconsistent descriptions of Lumbar multifidus (LM) morphology were previously identified, especially in research applying ultrasonography (US), hampering its clinical applicability with regard to diagnosis and therapy. The aim of this study is to determine the LM-sonoanatomy by comparing …

Honors programs and similar initiatives aimed at evoking excellence of students are increasingly promoted in higher education. However, there is a lack of conceptual clarity with regard to the concept of ‘student excellence’. The purpose of this article is to present a conceptual framework, called FACE …

Introduction: The original Rainbow Model of Integrated Care Measurement Tool (RMIC-MT) is based on the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC), which provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for integrated care. The aim of this paper is to modify the original patient version of the RMIC-MT for …

This study investigates the effect of position on build-plate on the dimensional deviations for stainless steel 316 L samples made by laser powder-bed fusion. To understand the effect of sample position on the build-plate (substrate) with respect to shrinkage and dimensional deviation, 36 samples in …

Half of the medium-size cities of France are slowly disappearing. From social and economical weaknesses, they experience a rang of symptoms such as shrinkage, urban decay, ageing and impoverished populations that directly impact their spatial qualities and their very own identity. They need a spatial …
