Renewable energy systems (RESs) are pivotal in the transition to eco-friendly smart grids. The complexity and uncertainty of RESs, driven by uncontrollable natural forces like sunlight and wind, bring challenges to integrating RESs into modern power systems. Electromagnetic transient (EMT)...

Background: Canadian funding agencies are no longer content to support research that solely advances scientific knowledge, and key directives are now in place to promote research transfer to policy- and decision-makers. Therefore, it is necessary to improve our understanding of how researchers...

Objective Interventions for knee osteoarthritis (OA) in adults with a large body size [defined as a BMI≥35 kg/m2] often prioritize weight-loss, which may overshadow specific benefits for physical function, metabolic health, and body composition. As part of the development of a future clinical...

Objective: Examine associations between self-reported weight history and sarcopenic obesity in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Self-reported weight history was collected from n=151 adults (58.9% female) with knee OA and a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 in a...

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), but less is understood regarding the relation between BMD and muscle mass, especially in non-dialysis dependent-CKD (NDD-CKD). The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and...

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to apply the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism/European Association for the Study of Obesity (ESPEN/EASO) consensus to identify sarcopenic obesity (SO) in adults mid to long-term post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) using both...

Background and Aims: Sarcopenic obesity (defined as low muscle mass and strength with high adiposity) requires attention in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) due to implications on treatment outcomes. This study aimed to identify muscle function measures and patient characteristics...

A model for the mechanics of an elastic solid, reinforced with bidirectional fibers is presented in finite plane elastostatics. The fiber’s resistance to stretch and flexure are accounted for with variational computations of first and second gradient of deformations, respectively. Within the...

The constitutive expression of the pea ABR17 (abscisic acid-responsive 17) cDNA, which is a member of the group 10 family of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR 10), in Arabidopsis thaliana is reported. The presence of ABR17 transcripts and the protein in the three transgenic lines is demonstrated...

Two‐dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of laser light self‐focusing in a hydrogen plasma are presented. The simulation code includes a model for laser beam propagation which accounts for inverse bremsstrahlung absorption, refraction, diffraction, and ponderomotive forces. A Gaussian hot spot,...
