Purpose: Postpartum psychosis is a rare but severe complication following childbirth, with unknown etiology. This study investigated whether the death of a close family member — a source of severe stress — the year before or during pregnancy was ...

Background Results from 2 cohort studies in Scotland established in the 1940s and 1950s (Aberdeen and Motherwell) suggested that a high protein diet during pregnancy might adversely influence offspring blood pressure at adult age. Our objective was to ...

Að börn öðlist góðan málþroska er mikilvægt markmið í sjálfu sér auk þess sem tungumálið er mikilvægasta verkfæri hugans og lykillinn að hugarheimi annarra. Málþroski á leikskólaaldri er því stór áhrifavaldur í félags- og vitsmunaþroska barna auk ...

Strain engineering is a powerful tool for tuning physical properties of 2D materials, including monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)—direct bandgap semiconductors with strong excitonic response. Deformation of TMD monolayers allows inducing ...

Vibrotactile displays can compensate for the loss of sensory function of people with permanent or temporary deficiencies in vision, hearing, or balance, and can augment the immersive experience in virtual environments for entertainment, or professional ...

Because of the mechanical stress importance in the dynamic mechanisms, a Stewart platform is subjected to analysis to extract its critical stress areas in this study. The Stewart platform is an effective mechanism because it has been employed as a ...

The atomic scale transitions corresponding to diffusion and interlayer transport of a Au adatom on the low energy, close packed Au(111) surface are studied using density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. ...

Bose-Einstein condensates of exciton-polaritons in inorganic semiconductor microcavities are known to possess strong interparticle interactions attributed to their excitonic component. The interactions play a crucial role in the nonlinear dynamics of ...

The MEGGASENSE platform constructs relational databases of DNA or protein sequences. The default functional analysis uses 14 106 hidden Markov model (HMM) profiles based on sequences in the KEGG database. The Solr search engine allows sophisticated queries ...

The 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption, on the Bárðarbunga volcanic system in central Iceland, was one of the best-monitored basaltic fissure eruptions that has ever occurred, and presents a unique opportunity to link petrological and geochemical data with ...
