Abstract Background Joint acoustic emissions from knees have been evaluated as a convenient, non-invasive digital biomarker of inflammatory knee involvement in a small cohort of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).The objective of the present study was to validate this in a larger cohort.Findings A total of 116 subjects (86 JIA and 30
Implementation of New Stepped Square Pyramid Solar Still for Desalinating Seawater in The Climate of Upper Egypt
In the present study, a modified pyramid-solar-still (MPSS) with new multiple stepped basin areas was investigated in the weather conditions of Qena, Egypt, at a location of (Latitude: 26.16°, Longitude: 32.71°).Boosting the output of the pyramid solar Knobs still is the primary focus of the proposed strategy.To achieve this, four basins were bui
Assessment of whipping and springing on a large container vessel
Wave induced vibrations increase the fatigue and extreme loading, but this is normally neglected in design.The industry view on this is changing.Wave induced vibrations are often divided into springing and whipping, and their glass-anal relative contribution to fatigue and extreme loading varies depending on ship design.When it comes to displacemen
The species-specific role of wildlife in the Amazonian food system
We examine ways in which the role of wild animals in the Waste Toner Tank Amazonian food system may be socially differentiated and species-specific.We combine a hybrid framework of food choice preferences and theorizing on access to natural resources with fieldwork in Brazilian Amazon, where social and environmental challenges coalesce around the r
