PurposeThe aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between Perceived Control (PC) and Heart rate variability (HRV) during a 27-day expedition, during which an unsupported crossing was made from the west coast to the east coast of Greenland (across the Ice Sheet); and that therefore a high PC represents a favourable factor for
Abstract Background: Early administration of antibiotics in sepsis is associated with improved patient outcomes, but safe and generalizable approaches to de-escalate or discontinue antibiotics after suspected sepsis events are unknown.Methods: We used a modified Delphi approach to identify safety criteria for an opt-out protocol to guide de-escalat
Flow distribution uniformity in manifolds is important in various engineering applications.In this study, the effect of manifold design on flow distribution is examined using both experimental katin mens shirts and numerical methods.A comparison was made between a straight manifold and a gradually decreasing cross-sectional design considering two d
This article seeks to elaborate the research on natural history carried out by French naturalists in Indonesia during colonial period.The tropical nature attracted many European naturalists to conduct research in order to gain economic advantages from the natural richness.The curiosity toward the alien nature always came with cc-330 husky aircraft
Air temperatures in the tropical Andes have risen at an accelerated rate relative to the global average over recent decades.However, the effects of climate change on Andean lakes, which are vital to sustaining regional biodiversity and serve as an important water resource to local populations, remain largely unknown.Here, we show that recent climat
