Background: Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) has been described as influencing skeletal physiology. Nevertheless, no systematic appraisal of the effect GDF15 on muscle tissues developed to present day. Objective: The aim work was review evidence topic. Methods: In this preregistered (https://osf.io/wa8xr), articles were retrieved from MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and WebOfScience. Inclusion criteria comprised studies humans or animal models, assessment peripheral local tissue...
Abstract Purpose To examine the psychometric characteristics of Italian language versions child eating disorder examination (ChEDE) interview and questionnaire (ChEDE-Q). Methods ChEDE (from EDE 17th edition) ChEDE-Q were first translated, then administered to 147 patients with disorders under age 18, along 80 age-matched controls. Their internal consistency (Cronbach alpha), inter-rater reliability (Spearman rho), short-term (7–23 days) test–retest criterion validity (group differences by...
The effect of the array configuration circular pin fins is investigated from a numerical and experimental point view reproducing typical cooling scheme real high pressure aero-engine blade. airstream enters domain interest radially hub inlet exits axially trailing edge (TE) outlet section. More than 100 turbulators are inserted in wedge-shaped TE duct to enhance heat transfer: A reference implementing seven rows staggered pins compared with an innovative pentagonal arrangement....
Abstract Background A better characterization of educational processes during psychiatry training is needed, both to foster personal resilience and occupational proficiency. Methods An adequate coverage medical residents at the national level was reached (41.86% total reference population, 29 out 36 centers—80.55%). Controls were recruited among in other specialties. All participants assessed by questionnaires evaluate early life experiences, attachment style, personality traits, coping...
This paper describes a heat transfer experimental study of four different internal trailing edge cooling configurations based on pin fin schemes. The aim the is comparison between innovative and standard ones. So, circular configuration with an pentagonal scheme compared to staggered scheme, while two elliptic are each other turning ellipse from streamwise spanwise direction. For configuration, pressure loss measurements were made keeping Mach number fixed at 0.3 varying Reynolds 9000 27000....
The aim of the present study is to investigate effects density ratio between coolant and mainflow on a real engine cooling scheme combustor liner. Measurements heat transfer coefficient adiabatic effectiveness were performed by means steady-state Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (TLC) technique; experimental results used estimate, through 1D thermal procedure (Therm1d), Net Heat Flux Reduction overall in realistic working conditions. In order reproduce representative value mainstream ratio,...
Enhancing the efficiency of gearing systems is an important topic for development future aero-engines with low specific fuel consumption. The transmission system in fact has a direct impact on engine overall by means its weight contribution, internal power losses and lubrication requirements. Thus, evaluation structure performance mandatory order to optimize design as well maximize efficiency. Gears are among most efficient systems, whose efficiencies can exceed 99 %, nevertheless high speed...
The aim of the present study is to describe prevalence and individual predictors mental distress (anxiety, depression, burnout) in a sample volunteers engaged emergency services. A total 823 enrolled Red Cross auxiliary corps were surveyed between 28 June 2021 August (299 men 524 women). After deployment anti-COVID-19 operations, participants completed Patient Health Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Maslach Burnout Inventory, Big Five Inventory through an online platform....
Abstract Eigenvector-Centrality (EC) has shown promising results in the field of Psychiatry, with early also pertaining to ADHD. Parallel efforts have focused on description aberrant interhemispheric coordination ADHD, as measured by Voxel-Mirrored-Homotopic-Connectivity (VMHC), evidence altered Resting-State fMRI. A sample was collected from ADHD200-NYU initiative: 86 neurotypicals and 89 participants ADHD between 7 18 years old were included after quality control for motion. After...
Abstract Purpose Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia (BN) frequently exhibit Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI), yet their co-occurrence is still unclear. To address this issue, the aim of study was to elucidate role impairments in interoception explaining NSSI phenomenon AN BN, providing an explanatory model that considers distal (insecure attachment/IA traumatic childhood experiences/TCEs) proximal (dissociation emotional dysregulation) risk factors for NSSI. Method 130...
Online content can inform the personal risk of developing an eating disorder, and it influence time motivation to seek treatment. Patients routinely information online, access is crucial for both prevention The primary aim current study was quantify readability scores online on disorders using natural language processing algorithms, across two languages: English Italian.
Interest has arisen regarding different dietary approaches, namely prescriptive vs non-dieting approaches. Nonetheless, evidence on which individual factors orient professionals toward either approach is currently lacking for dietetics students and registered dietitians (RDN). For this reason, the present study aimed at investigating personal interpersonal associated with adoption of such approaches in practice. This cross-sectional observational involved 174 participants through an online...
Nowadays total inlet temperature of gas turbine is far above the permissible metal temperature; as a consequence, advanced cooling techniques must be applied to protect from thermal stresses, oxidation and corrosion components located in high pressure stages, such blade trailing edge. A suitable design system for edge has cope with geometric constraints aerodynamic demands; state-of-the-art concepts often use film on side: air taken last compressor stages ejected through discrete holes or...
Homotopic connectivity during resting state has been proposed as a risk marker for neurologic and psychiatric conditions, but precise characterization of its trajectory through development is currently lacking. Voxel-Mirrored Connectivity (VMHC) was evaluated in sample 85 neurotypical individuals aged 7-18 years. VMHC associations with age, handedness, sex, motion were explored at the voxel-wise level. correlates also within 14 functional networks. Primary secondary outcomes repeated 107...
