Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are inversely associated with body adiposity measurements but the association with bone mass is non-linear in postmenopausal women by Vijay, Ganji

“…In a continuous variable analysis, the association between 25(OH)D and bone mass was significant, non-linear, inverse ‘U’. In conclusion, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was inversely associated with adiposity measures and non-linearly associated to bone mass in postmenopausal Qatari women.…”

Event-triggered fault detection for discrete-time LPV systems by Golabi, Arash

“…Toward this goal, based on the concept of input-to-state stability, a new formulation is presented to satisfy the H- performance measures and for each performance index, sufficient conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities problems. It is shown that through two event-triggered data transmission mechanisms, the amount of data sent to the fault detection module is decreased significantly. …”

Enhancing the UV/heat stability of LLDPE irrigation pipes via different stabilizer formulations by Porfyris, Athanasios D.

“…Morphological analysis through scanning electron microscopy of the UV-exposed neat LLDPE showed more severe surface cracking compared to the CB-containing LLDPE, while all stabilized compounds did not show any surface degradation. Crack formation was less visible for the thermally aged samples. A significant decrease in molecular weight (MW) was observed for the neat UV-exposed LLDPE, while both unpigmented stabilized compounds showed little change in MW. …”

Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden. by Alatalo, Juha M

“…Bryophyte cover and species richness both declined with long-term warming, while Simpson diversity showed no significant responses. Over the 18-year period, bryophyte cover in warmed plots decreased from 43 % to 11 % in heath and from 68 % to 35 % in meadow (75 % and 48 % decline, respectively, in original cover), while richness declined by 39 % and 26 %, respectively. …”

Synergistic effect of expanded graphite, diammonium phosphate and Cloisite 15A on flame retardant properties of EVA and EVA/wax phase change blends by Mochane, M.J.

“…In the presence of EG + Cloisite 15A, the material formed a dense and stable char layer (carbonized ceramic) which significantly improved the flame resistance of the materials, while the presence of EG and EG + DAP much less uniform char layers were formed and the improvement in flame resistance was not so significant. …”
