A lack of sufficient recovery during and after work may help to explain impaired health in the long run. We aimed to increase knowledge on the mediating role of recovery opportunities (RO) during and after work on future sickness absence from a gender- and age-sensitive perspective. We used data on RO from a Swedish national survey in 2011 and linked these to sickness absence (>14 days) two yea...

[1] The accurate determination of tropical cyclone (TC) cloud-top height and its vertical thermal structure using the GPS radio occultation (RO) technique is demonstrated in this study. Cloud-top heights are determined by using the bending angle anomaly and the temperature anomaly profiles during the TC events, and the results are compared to near-coincident cloud-top heights determined by Clou...

Thin Film Composite – Polyamide (TFC-PA) are commonly used reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in water desalination and waste water applications. Their poor chlorine tolerance and fouling characteristics constrain the life and performance leading to stringent chemical pretreatment requirements. In this context, development of fouling resistant and chlorine tolerant RO membranes would be relevant to...

To date, there is no consensus regarding the influence of different CD45 isoforms during peripheral B-cell development. Examining correlations between surface CD45RO expression and various physiologic processes ongoing during the germinal center (GC) reaction, we hypothesized that GC B cells, like T cells, that up-regulate surface RO should progressively acquire phenotypes commonly associated w...

Samosir is an island in North Sumatra which used as a tourist destination because of the beauty its lake. Crossing to requires ship sea transportation. Based on data from Ministry Transportation, Ajibata Port, process crossing vehicles holidays has been delayed due surge passengers during high season. The purpose this research design/plan overcome accumulation number method comparison method. s...

As part of the FIRESAFE II project commissioned by European Maritime Safety Agency a study was performed to determine safe distance between side openings and Life-Saving Appliances (LSA) in ro-ro spaces keep them available usable for evacuation. The utilised analytical calculations CFD simulations. Two exclusion zones, where LSA should not be placed, were defined. first zone relates within an e...
