Abstract Coastal wetlands protect communities during hurricanes by reducing storm surge flooding and damages.Previous studies have quantified surge reduction benefits of wetlands, but there is less understanding of how the combination of wetland loss and coastal development influences the spatial distribution of flood extents and damages.In this st

Resistant hypertension (RH) is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Among the characteristics of patients with RH, obesity, obstructive gotrax handlebar sleep apnea, and aldosterone excess are covering a great area of the mosaic of RH phenotype.Increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity is present in all these
This study examined the impact of various smoothing techniques on acceleration data obtained from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) device during accelerating and decelerating movements, resembling those commonly observed in team sports.Eight participants performed six different accelerating and decelerating movements at different intensi
The double differentiation method overestimates the critical stress associated with the initiation of dynamic transformation (DT) because significant amounts of the dynamic phase must be present in order for its effect on the work hardening rate to be detectable.In this work, an alternative method (referred to here as the free energy method) is pre
