China is now undergoing a fast process of industrialization, with the industry sector playing an important role in the overall economy. Among the many economic areas in China, Yangtze River Delta (YRD) takes the lead. The macro economy development and energy use status quo of both China and YRD are depicted, the past and current situation of air pollution and GHGs emissions is presented, and detai
This study explored the utility of the impact response surface (IRS) approach for investigating model ensemble crop yield responses under a large range of changes in climate. IRSs of spring and winter wheat Triticum aestivum yields were constructed from a 26-member ensemble of process-based crop simulation models for sites in Finland, Germany and Spain across a latitudinal transect. The sensitivit
A search for the resonant production of a heavy scalar X decaying into a Higgs boson and a new lighter scalar S, through the process X → S(→bb¯)H(→γγ), where the two photons are consistent with the Higgs boson decay, is performed. The search is conducted using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector
BACKGROUND: Several radiological societies in Europe have so far spoken out in favor of MRI of the small intestine over CT, since MRI is said to provide more detailed image information. Due to the limited availability of MRI machines, long waiting times arise for many patients who clinically require small bowel imaging.OBJECTIVES: These circumstances guided our search for an improved CT technique
A search for a new Z′ gauge boson predicted by Lµ-Lτ models, based on charged-current Drell-Yan production, pp→W±(∗)→Z′μ±ν→μ±μ μ±ν, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search examines a final state of 3μ plus large missing transverse momentum.
BackgroundShock is a condition with high mortality even with early intervention and treatment. Usual care for shock and hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED) is intravenous fluid resuscitation which can lead to fluid overload and other complications. When fluid therapy fails or risk of complications are high, the next treatment step is the use of vasopressors for stabilisation. Noradrenalin

BACKGROUND: The management of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients depends on comorbidities, pre-fracture mobility, any hip joint disease, and life expectancy, with treatment typically involving either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). While cemented femoral stem fixation is standard, there is no clear consensus regarding cemented versus cementless cup fixation in
Do the characteristics that motivated non-Jews to rescue Jews during the Holocaust also predict morally courageous intentions in today’s high school students? Swedish students (N = 231) completed a survey assessing parental role modelling, empathic concern, risk-taking, and identification with outgroups, indicating whether they would intervene to help persecuted Jews and Muslims in various scenari
The current climate crisis has generated social pressure to slow consumption down. Despite this, consumer culture is continuously developing and growing. How is this possible? Our paper provides theoretical clues to this question by developing a novel model of thought for consumption growth, based on Georg Simmel’s notion of Eigendynamik.
As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental
With population aging, more adults across Europe face competing demands of working for pay and caring for elderly family members. Associated tradeoffs are expected to be negative, gendered, and vary across contexts with different levels of gender equality, public support for eldercare, and work-family balance. Using SHARE data from 2004–20, this study investigates how unpaid caregiving to independ
Cities with limited traditions in cycle planning often look to Northern European cities as role models, adopting their design concepts and infrastructure solutions. However, experience indicates that transferring such designs across different contexts can be challenging. In many cases, cycle paths have been constructed but remain underutilized. This chapter presents the findings of a study examin
Classical graphical modeling of random vectors uses graphs to encode conditional independence. In graphical modeling of multivariate stochastic processes, graphs may encode so-called local independence analogously. If some coordinate processes of the multivariate stochastic process are unobserved, the local independence graph of the observed coordinate processes is a directed mixed graph (DMG). Tw
