Future vessels will be facilitated by modern internet of things to collect various ship performance and navigation information. Such information is collected as large-scale data sets, the so-called Big Data, that should be utilized towards digitalization of the shipping industry. However, various data handling challenges are encountered by the shipping industry during the phase of digitalization, ...

We present the novel observation that Duschinsky mixings can lead to the breakdown of Kasha’s rule in a white light phosphor molecule, dibenzo[<i>b,d</i>]thiophen-2-yl (4-chlorophenyl)methanone. Our theoretical analyses show the energy gap between the T₁ and T₂ states (0.48 eV) is too large to allow for any significant population of the T₂ state at room temperature ...

Fishing trials targeting several invasive swimming crab species in their native habitat were undertaken using two types of collapsible pot, one with open-eyed entrances and the other with closed-eyed entrances, to analyse differences in catch retention between them. The open-eyed pot was dome-shaped with two funnel entrances located at opposite ends, whereas the closed-eyed pot had two soft sleeves ...

<i>Background</i>: There is rising demand for health care’s limited resources. Mobile health (mHealth) could be a solution, especially for those with chronic illnesses such as diabetes. mHealth can increases patients’ options to self-manage their health, improving their health knowledge, engagement, and capacity to contribute to their own care decisions. However, there are few solutions for sharing ...

Barnevernloven har ingen bestemmelse som særskilt gir hjemmel for å stanse eller redusere samvær i tilfeller hvor gjennomføring av samvær kommer i en akutt og skadelig motstrid til barnets interesser. Under anerkjennelse av at det i slike tilfeller kan foreligge en folkerettslig plikt til å komme barnet til unnsetning, er det i juridisk litteratur antydet at nasjonalt rettsgrunnlag for akutte vedtak ...

Maternal alloimmunization to paternally inherited antigens on fetal/neonatal platelets can cause fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) after antibody-mediated removal of platelets from the fetal circulation. The complications vary from mild bleeding symptoms to severe intracranial hemorrhage and subsequent neurological impairment or death. Studies on <i>in vivo</i> mechanisms are ...

Heritage is often seen as a symptom of a temporally disjointed and all-pervasive present which shapes the pasts it requires to make up for the failures of linear, modern and progressive history. As a consequence, the pasts in heritage are often regarded as the result of unidirectional processes of attributing value to largely compliant materials. This article explores the constitutive role of materials ...

Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to elucidate the abundance of <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> and <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i>, which are among the most widespread fish pathogens in ponds. Both pathogens have three different breeding patterns, namely, (a) gibel carp (<i>Carassius auratus gibelio</i>), (b) yellow catfish (<i>Pelteobagrus fulvidraco</i>), and (c) black carp (<i>Mylopharyngodon ...

<i>BACKGROUND</i> - Point-of-care testing of C-reactive protein (CRP) may be a way to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics without harming patients who have acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).<p><p> <i>METHODS</i> - We performed a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial involving patients with a diagnosis of COPD in their primary care clinical ...

In this article, I consider Bernard Suits’ Utopia where the denizens supposedly fill their days playing Utopian sports, with regard to the relevance of the thought experiment for understanding the sports we currently play and have played. I argue that the thought experiment is irrelevant for understanding our current and past sports, i.e. human sports. I identify two views on games and sports in ...
