Abstract Background Adults with prediabetes are at 5 to 15 times higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with others.Without self-care behaviors to promote health and prevention, more than 70% of them will ultimately develop type 2 diabetes during their lives.Method This was a qualitative study guided by the directed content analysis met

The structural feasibility of using a pultrusion of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) for the lightweight design of Lip Balm a mast for overhead line railway electrification was investigated and simulated.Material characterisation was undertaken using three-point bending and finite element analysis to identify the orthotropic properties of th

In this work, a high-throughput computation (HTC) and machine learning (ML) combined method was applied to identify the determining factors of the detonation velocity (vd) and detonation pressure (pd) of energetic molecules and screen potential high-energy molecules with acceptable stability in a high-throughput way.The HTC was performed based on 1

In this paper, we reviewed the existing literature on the fabrication of nanocomposites based on cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), and analyzed their dispersion mechanism with respect to their use in the field of construction.First, the existing literature on CNC-based nanocomposites that exhibit the physical and chemical properties of n

BackgroundRegional citrate anticoagulation has been associated with enhanced biocompatibility in hemodialysis, but the optimal dose of citrate remains Earphones to be established.Here, we compared parameters related to cellular activation during in vitro dialysis, using two doses of citrate.MethodsHuman whole blood, anticoagulated with either 3 mM
