An examination of the association between premature mortality and life expectancy among men in Europe.
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Background:
A feature of the health of men across Europe is their higher rates of premature mortality and shorter
life expectancy at birth than women. Following the publication of the first State of Men’s Health in Europe ...
Reaching beyond the ‘worried well’: pre-adoption characteristics of participants in ‘Men on the Move’, a community-based physical activity programme
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Issues surrounding gender and men’s health have become an increasing focus of public health globally. Unhealthy lifestyles and lower engagement in health promotion initiatives contributed to lower life expectancy ...
Virtual lab for wireless sensor networks
(Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Romania, 2008)
This article details an experimental system developed to enhance the education and research in the area of wireless networks technologies. The system referred, as Virtual Lab (VL) is primarily targeting first time users ...
First report of an entomopathogenic nematode from continental Portugal
(Parasitological Institute of SAS, Košice, 2007)
In continental Portugal no information is available concerning the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes. During a survey in several different habitats from the southern regions of the country, several isolates where ...
The effect of by-product inclusion and concentrate feeding rate on milk production and composition, pasture dry matter intake, and nitrogen excretion of mid-late lactation spring-calving cows grazing a perennial ryegrass-based pasture
(American Dairy Science Association, 2019)
Interest is growing in the use of by-products as economical sources of nutrients that complement grazed grass, particularly at times when grass supply is insufficient to meet the nutritional demands of lactating dairy ...
Chromium monitoring in water by colorimetry using optimised 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method
(MDPI, 2019)
Chromium contamination of drinking water has become a global problem due to its extensive use in industry. The most commonly used methods for chromium detection in water are laboratory-based methods, such as atomic absorption ...
Obstacle detection with ultrasonic sensors and signal analysis metrics
(Elsevier, 2017)
One of the basic tasks for autonomous flight with aerial vehicles (drones) is the detection of obstacles within its flight environment. As the technology develops and becomes more robust, drones will become part of the ...
The effect of milk on recovery from repeat-sprint cycling in female team-sport athletes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)
The consumption of milk following eccentric exercise attenuates the effects of muscle damage in team-sport athletes. However, participation in team sport involves both concentric–eccentric loading and metabolic stress. ...
Novel AroA with high tolerance to glyphosate, encoded by a gene of Pseudomonas putida 4G-1 isolated from an extremely polluted environment in China
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
Glyphosate has been used globally as a safe herbicide for weed control. It inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (AroA), which is a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway in ...
Characterization of mineral phosphate solubilization traits from a barley rhizosphere soil functional metagenome.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Mineral phosphate solubilization (MPS) microorganisms are important for their provision of orthophosphate anions for plant growth promotion activity in soil. In this study, we applied a functional metagenomic approach to ...
