A compressor map with variations in component level characteristics is introduced. This novel approach to plot component level characteristics identify and give context to the critical design parameters such as flow angles, pressure coefficients, and loss coefficients across the entire compressor map along with the conventional performance parameters. Compressor design involves a significant amoun

BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is common in youth and among the most frequent comorbid disorders in pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but it is unclear whether the presence of OCD affects the symptom presentation of MDD in youth.MethodsA sample of youth with OCD and MDD (n = 124) and a sample of youth with MDD but no OCD (n = 673) completed the Patient Health Questionnaire

Purpose: To report on the ophthalmic findings in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in southern Sweden, and to investigate the frequency of refractive errors, strabismus and cerebral visual impairment associated with this condition. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study including all paediatric patients with TSC in southern Sweden born between 1983 and 2020. Medical records we

Although microgels have been widely used as model systems for soft colloids, their properties are still far from being completely understood. This stems from their heterogeneous structure strongly differing from that of an idealized polymeric network. Indeed, microgels synthesized by conventional precipitation polymerization exhibit not only a fuzzy structure with respect to the difference of reac

Araucaria araucana (Molina) K. Koch is an evergreen conifer endemic of Southern Chile and it is considered a sacred tree by the Pehuenche originary people. A. araucana is endangered in the red book. The knots wood of A. araucana are resistant to biological degradation, due to producing a high amount of lignans, even after the decomposition of the tree is possible to find its knots in the forest. I

The use of loess as a resource for paleoclimatic research is quite well established. In Serbia, a significant number of loess sequences have been preserved in old brickyards. The results of the previously conducted research indicate extremely valuable data that enable a better understanding of the mid- to late Pleistocene climatic evolution in this part of Europe, as well as human dispersal from A

We need energy intake to provide energy and nutrients to our cells. The amount of daily energy intake should aim for energy balance, which results in good health. Under-or overconsumption of total daily energy over a longer period leads to increased risk of diseases. In this scoping review, the components of daily energy requirement are defined. Several methods to estimate energy requirements and

Objective: This Swedish study aimed to assess the prevalence, associated clinical factors, and mortality rates of heart failure patients diagnosed without echocardiograms in both hospital and primary care settings. Design: We conducted a retrospective population-based study using data from the Region Halland healthcare database in Sweden covering 330,000 residents. Subjects: From 2013–2019, 3,903
