In-Vehicle Performance Validation of the Semi-Active Hybrid Energy Storage System by Rehman, Habib-ur

“…The UCs supply the dynamic component of the load current which decreases the battery size, limits the battery peak current, and extends its life. The UCs can be charged by the batteries when necessary, and vice versa. …”

Global age-sex-specific fertility, mortality, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and population estimates in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2019: a comprehensive demographic anal... by Haidong Wang (47381)

“…Global annual livebirths increased from 134·5 million (131·5–137·8) in 2000 to a peak of 139·6 million (133·0–146·9) in 2016. …”

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…We find that monthly shrinkage rates have a pronounced structured variability around the channel network with the shrinkage rate systematically decreasing farther away from the channels. This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. …”

Low-level amikacin resistance induced by AAC(6′)-Ib and AAC(6′)-Ib-cr in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales isolated from urine in children by Hassan Al, Mana

“…The study found that isolates carrying AAC(6′)-Ib-cr have on average a 2-fold higher amikacin MIC. The increased MIC may impact the ability to achieve a Cpeak/MIC > 8 assuming hypothetical peak concentrations between 20 mg/L and 30 mg/L, which could impact the antibiotic's efficacy as a theraputic agent.…”

A Brief Review on the Development Progress of High-Efficiency Klystrons by Soumaya Mandal (22467694)

“…Since the past few years, the high-performance multi-beam klystrons exhibited high efficiency by lowering perveance but are limited to a level ~70% with an output power ~6MW.In recent years, the development of high-efficiency klystrons with peak output power exceeding 20 MW and efficiency ranges from 80-90% has been fuelled by the demand for high-energy particle accelerators. …”

An additive manufacturing approach based on electrohydrodynamic printing to fabricate P3HT:PCBM thin films by Zulfikre Esa (19457344)

“…The films exhibited a broad visible absorption spectrum ranging from ~ 340 to ~ 600 nm, with a maximum peak λ_max located at ~ 500 nm. As the annealing temperature and the flow rate were increased, discernible alterations in the PCBM clusters were consequently observed in the blends of the film and the size of the PCBM clusters has decreased by 3% while the distance between them was highly reduced by as much as 82%.…”

Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Flight time shortened (P = 0.026), peak braking (P = 0.016) and push-off (P = 0.032) forces decreased and vertical stiffness increased (P = 0.014) from before to after the repeated-sprint exercise, independent of footwear condition. …”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”
