Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

While risk scores are invaluable tools for adapted preventive strategies, a significant gap
exists between predicted and actual event rates. Additional tools to further stratify the risk of …

OBJECTIVES: The relative importance of airborne, droplet and contact transmission of
influenza A virus and the efficiency of control measures depends among other factors on the …

Recombinant v-and t-SNARE proteins reconstituted into separate lipid bilayer vesicles
assemble into SNAREpins—SNARE complexes linking two membranes. This leads to …

A model potential-energy function comprising both two-and three-atom contributions is
proposed to describe interactions in solid and liquid forms of Si. Implications of this potential …

Most models for fixed bed adsorbers have used either the homogeneoussolid or pore
diffusion model for the pellets. When the adsorption isotherm is linear, the two models can …

The canonical partition function for classical many-body systems is transformed so that the
temperature-independent packing statistics and the thermal excitations are uniquely …

Aims Increased arterial wave reflections are associated with the presence and extent of
coronary atherosclerosis and with cardiovascular mortality in selected populations. We …

Stiffness of elastic arteries like the aorta predicts cardiovascular risk. By directly reflecting
arterial stiffness, having the best predictive value for cardiovascular outcome and the ease of …

Background—Increased arterial stiffness, determined invasively, has been shown to predict
a higher risk of coronary atherosclerosis. However, invasive techniques are of limited value …
