Abstract Background Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) has serious physical consequences for children such as behavioral disabilities, growth disorders, neuromuscular problems, impaired motor coordination, and decreased muscle tone.However, it is not known whether loss of muscle strength occurs, and which interventions will effectively mitigate physic
Convex Obstacles from Travelling Times
We consider situations 10m Coaxial where rays are reflected according to geometrical optics by a set of unknown obstacles.The aim is to recover information about the obstacles from the travelling-time data of the reflected rays using geometrical methods and observations of singularities.Suppose that, for a disjoint union of finitely many strictly c
Microbial contamination and efficacy of disinfection procedures of companion robots in care homes.
BackgroundParo and other robot animals can improve wellbeing for older adults and people with dementia, through reducing depression, agitation and medication use.However, nursing and care staff we contacted expressed infection control concerns.Little related research has been published.We assessed (i) how microbiologically contaminated robot animal
Experimental Determination of Non-Linear Roll Damping of an FPSO Pure Roll Coupled with Liquid Sloshing in Two-Row Tanks
Wave excited roll motion poses danger for moored offshore vessels such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) because they cannot divert to avoid bad weather.Furthermore, slack cargo tanks are almost always present in FPSOs by design.These pose an increased risk of roll instability due to the presence of free surfaces.The most common
