Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight by Iurilli, M.L.C.

“…Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. …”

Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap by Hassan, Walid M.I.

“…We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ideal infinitely long SNW. …”

Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis by Hawari, Alaa H.

“…It was also found that when increasing the draw solution (DS) temperature from 20 °C to 26 °C the flux increased linearly and then started decreasing when temperature increased over 26 °C due to the development of a temperature gradient. …”

Global disease burden attributed to low physical activity in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019: Insights from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study by Ammar, Achraf

“…The association between SDI and the proportion of age-standardized DALYs attributable to low PA suggests that regions with the highest SDI largely decreased their proportions of age-standardized DALYs attributable to low PA during 1990-2019, while other regions tended to have increased proportions in the same timeframe. …”
