Heart failure (HF) is a morbid and heritable disorder for which the biological mechanisms are incompletely understood. We therefore examined genetic associations with HF in a large national biobank, and assessed whether refined phenotypic classification would facilitate genetic discovery. Methods: We defined all-cause HF among 488 010 parti
Estimating the 3D model of the human body is needed for many applications. However, this is a challenging problem since the human body inherently has a high complexity due to self-occlusions and articulation. We present a method to reconstruct the 3D human body model from a single RGB-D image. 2D joint points are firstly predicted by a CNN-based model called convolutional pose machine, and the 3D
Carl Wellman (1971) introduced the reasoning-type conduction while en-dorsing a dialectical view on natural lan-guage argumentation. Contemporary schol-arship, by contrast, treats conductive argu-ment predominantly on a product view. Not only did Wellman's reasons for a dialectical view thereby fall into disregard; a product-treatment of conduction also flouts the standard semantics of 'argument'.
Background: The aims of this study were to present the psychometric properties of a newly designed cognitive screening instrument, the Multicultural Cognitive Examination (MCE), and to compare it with the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) in a multicultural population. Methods: The study was a Western European cross-sectional multicenter study. The MCE consists of four components
Background: Time delay from stroke onset to hospital arrival is an important obstacle to recanalization therapy. To increase knowledge about stroke symptoms and potentially reduce delayed hospital arrival, a 27-month national public information campaign was conducted in Sweden. Aim: To assess the effects of a national stroke campaign in Sweden. Methods: This nationwide study included 97,840 patien
Purpose: The aim of the study was to develop a vocabulary targeting communication of health-terms of movement quality, establishing professional knowledge of a movement terminology usefull within rehabilitation. Methods: A phenomenological study design was chosen, inviting movement experts working in rehabilitation to describe movement observations when a change into more functional, health relate
Urbanization has resulted in a gigantism of urban complexes and in many environmental and social problems. The situation on the surface and the principles of sustainable development compel urban planners to utilize the urban underground space, which for centuries has been almost exclusively the application field of mining. More often than not spatial planning in urban areas allocates various land-
Endovascular stents are widely used for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the development of in-stent restenosis and downstream PAD progression remain a challenge. Stent revascularisation of PAD causes arterial trauma and introduces abnormal haemodynamics, which initiate complicated biological processes detrimental to the arterial wall. The interaction between stent stru
Physics and programming aspects are discussed for a Fortran 77 Monte Carlo program to simulate complete events in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The parton level interaction is based on the standard model electroweak cross sections, which are fully implemented in leading order for any lepton of arbitrary polarization, and different parametrizations of parton density functions can be use
We have simulated the 10-state 2d Potts model with the Metropolis and Swendsen-Wang algorithms, in order to compare their performances near a first-order phase transition. We show that a simple Markov model relates the frequencies of the flips between coexisting phases and the auto-correlation times. It leads to a coherent description of the dynamics. The ratio of the algorithm efficiencies has li
A package written in C for identifying variable dependencies in tables of data is presented. The key ingredient is the δ-test, which establishes dependency structures by exploiting the properties of continuous functions using conditional probabilities formed out of the data. The method estimates most relevant variables, embedding dimensions and noise levels. The program, which is self-contained, a
A unipolar diffusion charger with minimal particle losses in the ultrafine size range has been developed. This charger uses two radioactive α-sources to produce ions which are drawn into the charging region by an alternating electric field. The aerosol flow in the centre of the charging region is surrounded by a particle-free sheath air flow to prevent particle losses. Charged aerosol particles mo
