Objectives To estimate age-specific and sex-specific mortality risk among all SARS-CoV-2 infections in four settings India, a major lower-middle-income country to compare age trends with similar estimates high-income countries. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting multiple regions representing combined population >150 million. Participants Aggregate infection counts were drawn from large po...

OFDMA as a broadband technology is intended to offer high data rate services. In cellular networks, a Frequency Reuse (FR) principle has been used to maximize the Signal to Noise-plus-Interference Ratio (SINR), which in turn allows high data rates and spectral efficiency to be achieved. Earlier FR schemes used in 2G and 3G networks are known as Integer Frequency Reuse (IFR) schemes, and were ab...

Assessment of dynamic inspiratory function may provide valuable information about the degree and progression of pulmonary involvement in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The aims of this study were to characterize inspiratory function and to assess the efficacy of idebenone on this pulmonary function outcome in a large and well-characterized cohort of 10-18 year-old DMD patients...

Flying into hazardous weather can be a cause of aviation incidents and accidents. Accidents involving general (GA) pilots who are not instrument rated fly meteorological conditions (IMC) often fatal. Pilot reports (PIREPs) increase the accuracy timeliness current forecasted conditions. They an essential tool used by to avoid flying as well meteorologists develop update forecasts. Thus, large nu...

BACKGROUND Computer work is associated with low level sustained activity in the trapezius muscle that may cause development of trapezius myalgia. Such a low level activity may be attention related or alternatively, be part of a general multi joint motor program providing stabilization of the shoulder joint as a biomechanical prerequisite for precise finger manipulation. This study examines sing...

A new integrable system of two symmetrically coupled derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations is detected by means of the singularity analysis. A nonlinear transformation is proposed which uncouples the equations of the new system. In this paper, we study the integrability of the following system of two symmetrically coupled derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations: qt = iqxx + aqq̄qx + bq q̄...
