The continuous and widespread deterioration of lake water quality eutrophication is not only a local problem, but also global phenomenon [...]

OBJECTIVE The Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS) database was analyzed to determine whether suicidal events (attempts and ideation) occurred early in treatment, could be predicted by severity of depression or other clinical characteristics, and were preceded by clinical deterioration or symptoms of increased irritability, akathisia, sleep disruption, or mania. METHOD TADS ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Epilepsy is associated with alterations in the structural framework of the cerebral network. The aim of this study was to measure the potential of global metrics of network architecture derived from resting state functional MRI to capture the impact of epilepsy on the developing brain. METHODS Pediatric patients were retrospectively identified with: 1. Focal epilepsy;...

Stainless steels in atmospheres containing H2O form a Cr2O3 scale in the early stage of oxidation. However, the Cr2O3 scale gradually degrades with time. In order to determine the effect of H2O on the deterioration of a Cr2O3 scale, evaporation behavior of Cr2O3 in N2-O2-H2O atmospheres was investigated. The rate of mass loss in a N2-O2-H2O atmosphere was found to be one order of magnitude high...

Higher general intelligence attenuates age-associated cognitive decline and the risk of dementia. Thus, intelligence has been associated with cognitive reserve or resilience in normal aging. Neurophysiologically, intelligence is considered as a complex capacity that is dependent on a global cognitive network rather than isolated brain areas. An association of structural as well as functional br...

Abstract Technological characteristics and meteorological conditions are major determinants of the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprints photovoltaic facilities. By accounting for technological differences, we quantified GHG 9992 utility-scale facilities worldwide. We obtained a median footprint 58.7 g CO 2 -eq kWh ?1 , with 3-fold spread (28.2–94.6 2.5th 97.5th percentiles). Differences in panel typ...

BACKGROUND This prospective multicenter study aimed to study the impact of the recalibration component of response-shift (RS) on time to deterioration (TTD) in health related quality of life (QoL) scores in breast cancer (BC) patients and the influence of baseline QoL expectations on TTD. METHODS The EORTC-QLQ-C30 and BR-23 questionnaires were used to assess the QoL in a prospective multicent...

Background and Purpose—Recent studies suggest that the short-term risk of stroke may be greater after transient ischemic attack (TIA) than after stroke. Methods—We compared risks of neurological deterioration in those with and without TIA in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) trial, a randomized trial of intravenous tPA given w...
