Global pattern, trend, and cross-country inequality of early musculoskeletal disorders from 1990 to 2019, with projection from 2020 to 2050 حسب Yingzhao, Jin

"…The disease burden of gout, LBP, and OA attributable to high BMI and gout attributable to kidney dysfunction increased, while the contribution of smoking to LBP and RA and occupational ergonomic factors to LBP decreased. Between 1990 and 2019, the slope index of inequality increased for six MSK disorders, and the relative concentration index increased for gout, NP, OA, and OMSKDs but decreased for LBP and RA. …"

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods حسب Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

"…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. …"

A BRET-based Mpro biosensor containing a nanobody and tandem cleavage sites shows an increased cleavage rate حسب Geethakumari, Anupriya M

"…Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations of the predicted alpha-helical synthetic Mpro cleavage sequences revealed a dynamic nature of the cleavage sequences, which is critical for their efficient cleavage, and a relatively short end-to-end distances, which is required for high BRET. Live cell assays revealed a cleavage sequence length-dependent resonance energy transfer, except for the 12× -syn cleavage site, and an increased rate of cleavage and a decreased pharmacological inhibitor efficacy for the Mpro biosensor containing 2× cleavage sequences. …"

Geomorphological changes in the coastal area of Farasan Al-Kabir Island (Saudi Arabia) since mid Holocene based on a multi-proxy approach حسب Pavlopoulos, Kosmas

"…The mid Holocene evolution of the borehole area is resulted from the detailed analysis of five sedimentary units detected along the core Matar-1, and includes three distinct stages: (a) from 5253 ± 223 y cal BP to 3138 ± 223 y cal BP, carbonate coarse-grained material consisting of coral fragments, molluscs, calcareous algae and benthic foraminifera are deposited on a shallow marine fringing reefal platform, which becomes progressively a nearshore backreef (around 3675 ± 215 y cal BP), and later (around 3138 ± 223 y cal BP) a reef ramp; (b) since 3040 ± 220 y cal BP the borehole area obtains the characteristics of a high-energy beach that receives increasing inputs of terrigenous material; (c) subsequently, a supratidal backshore setting is established influenced mostly by terrestrial processes and occasionally by marine processes, as it is indicated by the decreasing and sometimes sporadic presence of benthic foraminifera, and recently, a sedimentary veneer consisting of terrigenous, carbonate and evaporite material is formed by terrestrial, mainly wadi and aeolian, processes. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA…"
