OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health problem with high societal costs. The Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease (GOLD) has identified a need for health economics data for COPD. For chronic diseases, such as COPD, where the natural history of disease is lifetime, a modeling approach for economic evaluation may be more realistic than prospective, piggy-back

The purpose of this paper is to analyse transient dynamics in adaptive control using statistical concentration bounds. For maximal clarity, the study is limited to a linear first order system with a single uncertain parameter. Two types of bounds are given: First we prove probabilistic bounds on the parameter estimation error as a function of time. In particular, we prove that the estimation error

The compressibility of a protein relates to its stability, flexibility, and hydrophobic interactions, but the measurement, interpretation, and computation of this important thermodynamic parameter present technical and conceptual challenges. Here, we present a theoretical analysis of protein compressibility and apply it to molecular dynamics simulations of four globular proteins. Using additively

We have tried to calculate the free energy for the binding of six small ligands to two variants of the octa-acid deep cavitand host in the SAMPL5 blind challenge. We employed structures minimised with dispersion-corrected density-functional theory with small basis sets and energies were calculated using large basis sets. Solvation energies were calculated with continuum methods and thermostatistic

Importance: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia can cause lifelong neurodevelopmental impairment (kernicterus) even in high-resource settings. A better understanding of the incidence and processes leading to kernicterus may help in the design of preventive measures.Objectives: To determine incidence rates of hazardous hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus among near-term to term newborns and to evaluate heal

This essay takes its point of departure in a letter written by Ayatollah Khomeini suggesting that sovereign authority is a matter of “absolute divine guardianship” and that the state “may suspend any matter – be it devotional or non-devotional – when it contravenes the best interests of Islam for the duration that it is so”. Khomeini insistence that the Islamic state headed by a Guardian Jurist is

In two consecutive equilibria the compound (Cp*)(2)Zr(OMe)(2) undergoes insertion of CO2 to form the mono- and bis-hemicarbonates. Both equilibria are exothermic but entropically disfavoured. Magnetisation transfer experiments gave kinetic data for the first equilibrium showing that the rate of insertion is overall second order with a rate constant of 3.20 +/- 0.12 M-1 s(-1), which is substantiall

Hybrid e-learning offered flexibility for students who could not attend in-person classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its effectiveness in teaching chest physiotherapy remains to be determined. This retrospective case-control study assessed physiotherapy students’ academic performance and satisfaction with a hybrid classroom approach adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic for teaching airway c

This paper provides an overview of Germanic languages as heritage languages, i.e. languages acquired naturalistically by children in parts of the world where these languages are not the majority language. Summarizing research on different types of heritage speakers of Danish, German, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish, we identify certain stable and vulnerable domains. We focus on the so far best s

With a broad approach it is possible to see the importance of the many parts in the whole, and to grasp the cultural situations that surround reading in combination with travel. Interaction and co-production are of great importance. Fiction influences reality, which in turn influences the fiction, which in turn… and so on. Fiction can function as an optical lens for reality. The difference between

We consider a system where a number of independent, time-triggered or event-triggered control loops are closed over a shared communication network. Each plant is described by a first-order linear stochastic system. In the event-triggered case, a sensor at each plant frequently samples the output but attempts to communicate only when the magnitude of the output is above a threshold. Once access to

This thesis analyses how the growth of wind and solar PV generation has affected wholesale electricity prices in Spain between 2020 and 2025, and how that relationship evolved as renewable penetration increased. Using 52,603 hourly observations obtained from the REE ESIOS public data portal — covering OMIE day-ahead spot prices, electricity demand, wind generation, and solar PV generation — the st
