Background: Dietetic treatment of adults with obesity can result in effective weight loss with health improvements. However, it remains unclear which components of dietetic consultation are key for successful treatment of individual patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore dietitians' …

This paper evaluates the potential impacts of introducing low-carbon intensity hydrogen technologies in two oil refineries with different complexity levels, emphasizing the role of hydrogen production in reducing CO2 emissions. The novelty of this work lies in three key aspects: Comprehensive system …

This study examines the effect of seat assignment strategies on the transfer time of connecting passengers at a hub airport. Passenger seat allocation significantly influences disembarkation times, which can increase the risk of missed connections, particularly in tight transfer situations. We propose …

Rationale In bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements, one pair of electrodes is typically placed dorsal on the right hand (position A) and one pair on the foot. In patients with fragile skin, scars or wounds, this dorsal hand placement is not always possible. This study compares agreement …

Climate change calls for an energy transition utilizing all available renewable energy resources, such as bioenergy from biomass. However, the use of biomass is debated in society, and public acceptance is low or lacking. This survey-based research demonstrates for the first time that public acceptance …

DEME Group, a leader in offshore energy and marine infrastructure, seeks to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cable burial operations for offshore wind farms through the development of a user-friendly trencher mobility model. This research addresses the limitations of existing models and provides …

Integrated science-and-literacy programs have proven to positively affect both language proficiency and science knowledge. Because making connections is important in both text comprehension and understanding the disciplinary core ideas taught in science, it seems worthwhile to explore the potential of …

Purpose: To gain a rich understanding of the experiences and opinions of patients, healthcare professionals, and policymakers regarding the design of OGR with structure, process, environment, and outcome components. Methods: Qualitative research based on the constructive grounded theory approach is …

Designing lead-free piezoelectric ceramics with tailored electrical properties remains a critical challenge for various applications. In this paper we present a novel methodology integrating Machine Learning (ML) and optimization procedures to fine-tune electrical properties in lead-free (1-x) Na0.5 …
