Genetic predispositions moderate the effectiveness of tobacco excise taxes
Background: Tobacco consumption is one of the leading causes of preventable death. In this study, we analyze whether someone’s genetic predisposition to smoking moderates the response to tobacco excise taxes. Methods: We...

A bottom-up approach to estimate dry weather flow in minor sewer networks
In order to evaluate the feasibility of installing decentralised installations for wastewater reuse in cities, information about flows at specific spots of a sewer is needed. However, measuring intermittent flows in partially...

Energy in the urban water cycle
In the urban water cycle, water supply, transportation, treatment and disposal are services that consume a considerable amount of energy. This paper reviews and summarizes state of the art measures applied in different parts of...

Development and performance of a parsimonious model to estimate temperature in sewer networks
Jorge A. Elías-Maxil, Jan Hofman, Bas Wols, Francois Clemens, Jan Peter Van Der Hoek, Luuk Rietveld
Jan 01, 0001
This paper presents a model (inspired in another model) to calculate water temperature in free-surface flow with two main innovations: the convective heat transfer occurs only at the wetted perimeter of pipes, and the model was...

Multivariate analysis reveals shared genetic architecture of brain morphology and human behavior
Ronald de Vlaming, Eric A. W. Slob, Philip R. Jansen, Alain Dagher, Philipp D. Koellinger, Patrick J. F. Groenen, Cornelius A. Rietveld
Oct 13, 2021
Abstract: Human variation in brain morphology and behavior are related and highly heritable. Yet, it is largely unknown to what extent specific features of brain morphology and behavior are genetically related. Here, we...

Size matters but when, why and for whom?
Anna KM Blackwell, Ilse Lee, Michelle Scollo, Melanie Wakefield, Marcus R Munafò, Theresa M Marteau
Feb 27, 2020
Pack size of tobacco products, including factory-made cigarettes and loose tobacco, is an important but neglected aspect of tobacco control policy. Understanding the nature of the relationship between pack size and consumption...

Sep 11, 2018
In recent years, the study of polarisation vision in animals has seen numerous breakthroughs, not just in terms of what is known about the function of this sensory ability, but also in the experimental methods by which...
Should cigarette pack sizes be capped?
Anna KM Blackwell, Ilse Lee, Michelle Scollo, Melanie Wakefield, Marcus R Munafò, Theresa M Marteau
Oct 22, 2019
BACKGROUND: Very few countries regulate maximum cigarette pack size. Larger, non-standard sizes are increasingly being introduced by the tobacco industry. Larger portion sizes increase food consumption; larger cigarette packs...
