Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) cut-offs associated with hyperglycemia may differ by ethnicity. We investigated the optimal BMI and WC cut-offs for identifying hyperglycemia in the predominantly...
The earth's electromagnetic environment
It is found that the energy density of electromagnetic fields at the surface of the Earth follow a scaling law that extends over 16 orders of magnitude from 10-9 Hz to 107 Hz. The temporal variability of the field can be...

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) occurs when there is failure of acclimatisation to high altitude. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between physiological variables and the incidence of AMS during ascent to...
Dynamic exergy analysis
As the power and transport sectors decarbonize, industrial emissions will become the main focus of decarbonization efforts. Exergy analysis provides a combined material and energy efficiency approach to assess industrial plants...

May 06, 2021
Based on twelve months of fieldwork into Uber's conflict in Buenos Aires, Argentina, this article examines convenience's role in the emergence of what I call cynical economies: a method and logic of production expressly...
Fibre-reinforced polymers in reinforced and prestressed concrete applications
JM Lees
Sep 10, 2013
Recent developments in the use of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in reinforced and prestressed concrete applications are reviewed. The influence of FRP material properties on the design of concrete structures is considered and...
Do Not Adjust Your Mind
Glia have been implicated in schizophrenia, although whether they play a primary role is uncertain. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Windrem et al. (2017) transplant human glial progenitors from schizophrenia patients into mouse...
Listeners and Readers Generalize Their Experience With Word Meanings Across Modalities
Research has shown that adults' lexical-semantic representations are surprisingly malleable. For instance, the interpretation of ambiguous words (e.g., bark) is influenced by experience such that recently encountered meanings...
