Influence of surgical intervention on pre- and post-surgery patient specific muscle synergies in children with cerebral palsyNARA Subscribed
Muscle synergy analysis has been explored as means to better understand changes in motor control, with the aim to improve treatment outcomes after Single Event Multilevel Surgery (SEMLS) for children with cerebral palsy (CP). In this single-group study, we assess changes between pre- and post-surgery muscle synergies at both patient specific, and cohort levels after surgical intervention for children with CP. We analysed the w...
Evaluation and Projection of Drought Frequency, Intensity and Duration Over AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Using two generations of regional climate simulations (NARCliM1.0 and NARCliM1.5) downscaled from CMIP3 and CMIP5 global climate models, three drought indices: the SPI (Standardised Precipitation Index), aSPI (agricultural SPI), and SPEI (Standardised Precipitation‐Evapotranspiration Index) are assessed for Australia. Biases in simulated drought frequency vary among models, while consistency is observed in duration and intensi...
Purpose Cancer-related genes and pathways have recently been implicated in a genome-wide meta-analysis of head size. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the association between adult head circumference and the risk of cancer. Methods This is a cohort study using data from the Hong Kong Osteoporosis Study, where 1,301 participants aged 27–96 years with head circumference measured between 2015 and 2019, and without a hist...
Meteorological analysis of an extreme pyroconvective wildfire at Dunalley-Forcett, AustraliaNARA Subscribed
A major bushfire occurred during January 2013 near the towns Forcett and Dunalley in southeast Tasmania, Australia. Several records were broken by this wildfire, in terms of impacts to eco-systems, infrastructure and lives, and it was the first pyrocumulonimbus documented in Tasmania. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology high-resolution regional reanalysis for Tasmania (BARRA-TA), with 1.5-km spatial resolution, together with...
Development of Asymmetric Convection in a Tropical Cyclone under Environmental Uniform Flow and Vertical Wind ShearNARA Subscribed
Idealized numerical simulations have been carried out to reveal the complexity in the development of asymmetric convection in a tropical cyclone (TC) under the influence of an environment with either uniform flow, vertical wind shear (VWS), or both. Results show that rainwater is enhanced to the right of the motion in the outer rainband, but such enhancement occurs in the upshear-left area of the inner-core region. Additionall...
Evaluation of oxytetracycline leaching from pregelatinized starch‐coated medicated fish feedNARA Subscribed
The rapid growth and intensification of aquaculture industries have led to an increased use of antibiotics. Consequently, growing concerns have mounted over the environmental contamination of these drugs from medicated feeds and the risk that this poses for antimicrobial resistance. To circumvent environmental leaching, farmers topcoat medicated feeds with oil; however, this only partially addresses the issue. This study inves...
Central versus peripheral mechanisms of cold-induced vasodilation: a study in the fingers and toes of people with paraplegiaNARA Subscribed
Purpose This study examined physiological and perceptual parameters related to cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) in the fingers and toes of people with paraplegia and compared them with responses observed in able-bodied individuals. Methods Seven participants with paraplegia and seven able-bodied individuals participated in a randomized matched-controlled study involving left-hand and -foot immersion in cold water (8 ± 1 °C) fo...
