Lipid profile in elderly and centenarian subjects in Kazakhstan: a case-control study

Introduction. The health of centenarians is a major focus in global studies. Dyslipidemia is directly linked to the risk of cardiovascular diseases, which pose a growing burden on healthcare due to the increasing elderly population. Studyin...

VirtualToxLab™ - In silico prediction of the toxic (endocrine-disrupting) potential of drugs, chemicals and natural products. Two years and 2,000 compounds of experience: a progress report

The VirtualToxLab™ is an in silico tool for predicting the toxic (endocrine-disrupting) potential of drugs, chemicals and natural products. It is based on a fully automated protocol and calculates the binding affinity of any molecule of int...

SOLDIERS' CODES OF CONDUCT IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. A COMPARATIVE OUTLOOK

In all countries around the world, the duties of the soldier are codified in detail, but in very different ways, according to the various histories, and cultural backgrounds of the respective Nations. As this soldier has the right to legall...

Cuidados en los equipos profesionales: reflexiones a partir del archivo oral y memoria del Cuartel Borgoño (1977-1989), Santiago de Chile

The purpose of this article is to present some of the considerations that arose following the development of an experience of caregiving for teams of professionals who support, investigate, and collect testimonies on human rights violations...

The Future of Killing: Ethical and Legal Implications of Fully Autonomous Weapon Systems

Warfare is moving towards full weapon autonomy. Already, there are weapons in service that replace a human at the point of engagement. The remote pilot must adhere to the law and consider the moral and ethical implications of using lethal f...

Comparative study of strongly and weakly coupled data assimilation with a global land–atmosphere coupled model

This study explores coupled land–atmosphere data assimilation (DA) for improving weather and hydrological forecasts by assimilating soil moisture (SM) data. This study integrates a land DA component into a global atmospheric DA system of th...

Reproductive Biology of Female Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) in the Gulf of Alaska

Developing a robust understanding of Pacific halibut reproductive biology is essential to understanding the different components (e.g. maturity) that determine the reproductive output of the species and, therefore, for estimating the relati...

Effect of zero-valent iron on Rhizobium sp. cells isolated from cadmium-contaminated sites after remediation by zero-valent iron

Cadmium contamination found in paddy fields in the Maesot District of Tak Province, Thailand. This area was remediated using 50mg/L of ZVI. The study aimed to isolate and identify soil bacteria in the soil and rice roots and to investigate ...

My Caregiver the Cobot: Comparing Visualization Techniques to Effectively Communicate Cobot Perception to People with Physical Impairments

Nowadays, robots are found in a growing number of areas where they collaborate closely with humans. Enabled by lightweight materials and safety sensors, these cobots are gaining increasing popularity in domestic care, where they support peo...

Women’s work–family conflict and its consequences in commuter marriages: The moderating role of spouses’ family commitment in a dyad analysis

This study aims to explore the relationship between work-family conflict and its consequences on job, family, and marital satisfaction among stay-at-home wives of commuter couples by testing the moderating effect of commuters’ family (paren...

Finite choice, convex choice and finding roots

We investigate choice principles in the Weihrauch lattice for finite sets on the one hand, and convex sets on the other hand. Increasing cardinality and increasing dimension both correspond to increasing Weihrauch degrees. Moreover, we demo...

Mary Leng defends a philosophical account of the nature of mathematics which views it as a kind of fiction (albeit an extremely useful fiction)....

[Mathematical models of hysteresis]

The research described in this proposal is currently being supported by the US Department of Energy under the contract Mathematical Models of Hysteresis''. Thus, before discussing the proposed research in detail, it is worthwhile to describ...

Multi-step prediction in linearized latent state spaces for representation learning

In this paper, we derive a novel method as a generalization over LCEs such as E2C. The method develops the idea of learning a locally linear state space by adding a multi-step prediction, thus allowing for more explicit control over the cur...

Design and Verification of Assessment Tool of Shortwave Communication Interference Impact Area

In the field of electronic communication warfare, accurately predicting the range and intensity of shortwave interference signals presents a significant challenge due to the complex interplay between the ionospheric parameters and the elect...
