A Multi-echelon Network Distribution Model For Emergency Resource Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…The model is tested in a network for numerical analysis. The result shows that multiple SPs in the proposed network distribution structure helps to overcome the possible resource disruption that occurs with single sourcing in the centralized structure, resulting decrease of the demand shortage. …”

Profiling of intestinal microbiota in patients infected with respiratory influenza a and b viruses by Al Khatib, Hebah A.

“…Overall, infected patients experienced an increased abundance of Bacteroidetes and a corresponding decrease in Firmicutes. Differential abundance testing illustrated that differences in gut microbiota composition were influenza type-dependent, identifying ten differentially abun-dant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between influenza A-and influenza B-infected patients. …”

Bio-Inspired Fabrication of Ultrafiltration Membranes Incorporating Polydopamine Functionalized Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles by Alkhouzaam, Abedalkader I.

“…Thus, the flux increased with the embedding of rGO-PDA without affecting the rejection properties, while it decreased with the embedding of pristine GO. The highest pure water permeability (PWP) was obtained with PSF/rGO PDA-0.1 to be approximately twice that of the pristine PSF and PSF/GO-0.1. …”

Limiting the Rise in Core Temperature During a Rugby Sevens Warm-up With an Ice Vest. by Taylor, Lee

“…Measures of thermal sensation (TS) and comfort (TC) were obtained pre- and post-warm-ups, with rating of perceived exertion (RPE) taken post-warm-ups. Athletes in VEST had a lower ΔTc [mean (SD) VEST 1.3°C (0.1°C); CONTROL 2.0°C (0.2°C)] from pre-warm-up to post-warm-up [effect size (ES) ± 90% confidence limit; -1.54; ±0.62] and Tc peak [mean (SD) VEST 37.8°C (0.3°C); CONTROL 38.5°C (0.3°C)] at the end of the warm-up (-1.59; ±0.64) compared to CONTROL. …”
