Prevalence and attributable health burden of chronic respiratory diseases, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 حسب Joan B Soriano (6458528)

"…Deaths due to chronic respiratory diseases numbered 3 914 196 (95% UI 3 790 578–4 044 819) in 2017, an increase of 18·0% since 1990, while total DALYs increased by 13·3%. …"

High-strain ionomeric–ionic liquid electroactive actuators حسب Akle, Barbar J.

"…Results demonstrate that the surface-to-volume ratio of the metal particulate is critical to increasing the capacitance of the transducer. Increased conductivity of the metal particulates produces improved response at higher frequencies (>10 Hz), but this effect is small compared to the increase in strain produced by maximizing the capacitance. …"
