Results We included 173 children and of these, 18 children were excluded due to Mendelian errors, low call rate, diagnostic indistinctness or non-western ethnicity. The odds ratio for having loss-of-function variants of the filaggrin gene and being clinically reactive was 4.9, which corresponds to a relative risk of 1.5. A history of eczema or specific IgE values did not change the beta coeffic...

Backscattered power data from the Doppler LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) could be used to obtain the extinction coefficient of the troposphere by combining with the meteorological optical range (MOR) data from the nearby forward scatter sensor. The Range-height Indicator (RHI) scan of the LIDAR is then utilized to derive the vertical pr...

Çevresel gürültünün insan sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri nedeniyle kontrol altında tutulması gerekir. gürültü kontrolünde asfalt kaplamaların ses yutma performansı önemli bir parametredir.
