BACKGROUND:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected adults.This study aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of HBV in the UK CHIC Study, a multicentre observational cohort.METHODS AND FINDINGS:12 HIV treatment centres were included.Of 37,331 patients, 27,450 had at lea
Evolutionary theories posit that emotions prime organisms for action.This study examined whether corticospinal excitability (CSE) is modulated by the emotional valence of a to-be-grasped stimulus.CSE was estimated based on the amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited using Face Makeup transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and recorded
In this paper, a Multiphysics coupling simulation model of flow and acoustics is proposed using COMSOL software, and its results are verified by comparing with experimental results of others.Then, the aerodynamic pressure above the bluff body surface at a speed of 350 km/h is simulated.Moreover, a near-zero-impedance acoustic metasurface composed o
Abstract In this paper, we report the results of a meta-analysis of 670 estimates extracted from 53 previous research works to estimate the gender wage gap in European emerging markets.A meta-synthesis of collected estimates exhibits that the gender differences have a statistically significant and economically Cooling Beanie meaningful impact on wa
This article helps establish reliable baselines for document-level sentiment analysis in highly inflected languages like Czech and Slovak.We revisit an earlier study representing the first comprehensive formulation of such baselines in Czech and show that some of its reported results need to be significantly revised.More specifically, we show that
