Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24·1% (21·4–27·1) in men and 20·1% (17·8–22·5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. …”

A hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester from vortex-induced vibrations in fluid-flow; the influence of boundary condition in tuning the harvester by Muthalif, Asan G.A

“…The results show that fully submerging the energy harvester increases the overall added mass, whilst confining it inside a submerged pipe adds stiffness and damping. This means the overall energy harvesting performance decreases with submerging depth and proximity to the boundary. …”

Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Natalia V, Bhattacharjee

“…Uncertainty from past data inputs and model estimation was propagated throughout analyses by taking 1000 draws for past and present fertility estimates and 500 draws for future forecasts from the estimated distribution for each metric, with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) given as the 2·5 and 97·5 percentiles of the draws. To evaluate the forecasting performance of our model and others, we computed skill values—a metric assessing gain in forecasting accuracy—by comparing predicted versus observed ASFRs from the past 15 years (2007–21). …”

Navigating Cyclone Threats: A Forecast Approach Using Water Streams’ Physical Characteristics as an Indicator to Predict High Risk Potential Areas in the Sultanate of Oman by Al-Awadhi, Talal

“…It was illustrated that the disturbance level differed within the study site, as the highest disturbance occurred in zone C where vegetation coverage decreased by 27% and urban areas by 5%. This zone had dam but still showed the highest amount of water flooding, illustrating that the dam couldn’t prevent the flood due to the differences in the physical characteristics of the streams between the different zones. …”
