We present data obtained after a 2 years period of monitoring the wave’s parameters in an off-shore location. We have used the location of a working petroleum platform situated at: N44031’, E29034’ at 50 km from land and 80 km NE from Constanta Harbor, in the Romanian Black Sea waters. We describe monitoring systems used.and their solution. The Advanced Doppler Velocymeter (ADV) for parameters of marine waves is based on Doppler effect and it is composed of a transmitter at a frequency of 10 MHz and of 3 receivers which are equidistant from 1200. Data storage on the HDD PC, with the possibility of take-over and normal review (ASCII file). We can get the values of the speed and current division marine tide amplitude and direction of the wave at each measurement, the number of measurements, date, hour, minute and second of measurement, as well as other parameters, both as numeric values and a graph having abscissa registration number. This monitoring, which comprises the period of one year including, reveals an amplitude an annual average of the wave of hmed=1.53 m, obtained by taking maximum envelope appeared in a measurement range of 120 seconds. We compare these off-shore values with the coastal ones and we conclude that the wave’s energetic off-shore potential is unexpectedly bigger that in the coastal region.

Objectives. To assess the influence of RAGT on balance, coordination, and functional independence in activities of daily living of chronic stroke survivors with ataxia at least one year of injury.Methods. It was a randomized controlled trial.The patients were allocated to either therapist-assisted gait training (TAGT) or robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT). Both groups received 3 weekly sessions of physiotherapy with an estimated duration of 60 minutes each and prescribed home exercises. The following outcome measures were evaluated prior to and after the completion of the 5-month protocol treatment: BBS, TUG test, FIM, and SARA. For intragroup comparisons, the Wilcoxon test was used, and the Mann–Whitney test was used for between-group comparison.Results. Nineteen stroke survivors with ataxia sequel after one year of injury were recruited. Both groups showed statistically significant improvement (P<0.05) in balance, functional independencein, and general ataxia symptoms. There were no statistically significant differences (P<0.05) for between-group comparisons both at baseline and after completion of the protocol.Conclusions. Chronic stroke patients with ataxia had significant improvements in balance and independence in activities of daily living after RAGT along with conventional therapy and home exercises. This trial was registered with trial registration number39862414.6.0000.5505.

The author first observes that an opinion is generally prevalent, of a decided increase in the average duration of human life in many parts of Europe ; but he yet regards it as probable that this improvement has been much exaggerated, partly on account of the limited number of persons on whom the observations have been made, and partly from erroneous views respecting the profits of assurance companies. He then examines the evidence on which this opinion rests, and gives a comparative statement of the annual average of mortality, the mean term of full life, and the mean age of mankind, according to a great number of different authorities ; and considers that a prolongation of life to the extent of one year in eight, is a much fairer estimate than one in three, which some have maintained, even on the limited grounds of the experience on which they have reasoned.

Abstract Study question Is postponing the start of ART (to promote a reduction in female BMI) beneficial for cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) when accounting for the female/male ageing this delay will cause? Summary answer Postponing ART treatment in one year to promote female weight loss could be detrimental in women of advanced maternal age (AMA, &gt;35 years-old). What is known already Overweight/obese couples are frequently encouraged to lose weight prior to infertility treatment to enhance ART outcomes. However, a meaningful weight loss is often difficult to achieve for these couples, frequently taking at least one year to accomplish. Given that both female and male ageing are also important for ART success, we were interested in understanding the combined impact on CLBR of BMI reduction and ageing following a one-year delay. Study design, size, duration A retrospective study including patients performing their first ART cycle using autologous gametes between 2013–2018 in one of 39 participating ART centres. Only GnRH antagonist cycles were included (n = 14260). CLBR was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included time-to-pregnancy, birthweight and gestational age. Participants/materials, setting, methods Patients were subdivided according to female BMI (Kg/m2) in either underweight (&lt;18.5), normal-weight (18.5–24.9), overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m2) and obese (≥30 kg/m2). Meaningful and extreme weight loss were defined as a reduction from obesity to either overweight or normal-weight, respectively. We performed multivariable regression analysis to account for potential confounding. Main results and the role of chance Overweight (36.8%) and obese (33.0%) women had significantly lower CLBR when compared to the underweight (42.6%) and normal-weight (41.4%). When assessing the confounder-adjusted net-effect of male/female age and BMI, the predicted benefit of promoting a meaningful BMI reduction was lower than the estimated hindrance due to male/female ageing as soon as women reached AMA (n = 8365, 58.6%). This absence of benefit was especially important in women &gt;38 years-old, in which even extreme weight-loss did not compensate for the age-related reduction in CLBR caused by the one-year delay. Moreover, male weight-loss failed to provide any additional benefit when accounted for in the regression models. Finally, obesity was also associated with a modest but statistically significant one-month delay in time-to-pregnancy and a 96.1 g (95% confidence interval: 39.9–152.4) increase in birth weight. The diagram of predicted outcomes presented in this study may serve as a useful tool to counsel patients before treatment, namely when recommending treatment postponement to promote short-term (i.e. 3–6 months) or long-term (i.e. 1 year) weight loss. Limitations, reasons for caution Caution is recommended when extrapolating these results into everyday practice owing to the retrospective nature of the study and the fact that only GnRH antagonist cycles were included. Wider implications of the findings: Patients are frequently confronted with the dilemma to either postpone treatment (and promote weight loss) or start treatment immediately (to avoid further ageing). Our results seem to show that women in AMA may have hindered CLBR if recommended to delay treatment even if the desired weight loss is ultimately achieved. Trial registration number Not applicable

ObjectiveAccuracy of 18 current-generation blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) available in Europe was evaluated applying criteria adapted from EN ISO 15197:2015 with one reagent system lot. BGMS were selected based on market research data.Research design and methodsThe BGMS ABRA, Accu-Chek Guide, AURUM, CareSens Dual, CERA-CHEK 1CODE, ContourNext One, eBsensor, FreeStyle Freedom Lite, GL50 evo, GlucoCheck GOLD, GlucoMen areo 2K, GluNEO, MyStar DoseCoach, OneTouch Verio Flex, Pic GlucoTest, Rightest GM700S, TRUEyou, and WaveSense JAZZ Wireless were tested using capillary blood from 100 different subjects and assessing the percentage of results within ±15 mg/dL (0.83 mmol/L) or 15% of comparison method results for BG concentrations below or above 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L), respectively. In addition, the minimal deviation from comparison method results within which ≥95% of results of the respective BGMS were found was calculated.ResultsIn total, 14 BGMS had ≥95% of results within ±15 mg/dL (0.83 mmol/L) or ±15% and 3 BGMS had ≥95% of results within ±10 mg/dL (0.55 mmol/L) or ±10% of the results obtained with the comparison method. The smallest deviation from comparison method results within which ≥95% of results were found was ±7.7 mg/dL (0.43 mmol/L) or ±7.7%; the highest deviation was ±19.7 mg/dL (1.09 mmol/L) or ±19.7%.ConclusionsThis accuracy evaluation shows that not all CE-labeled BGMS fulfill accuracy requirements of ISO 15197 reliably and that there is considerable variation even among BGMS fulfilling these criteria. This safety-related information should be taken into account by patients and healthcare professionals when making therapy decisions.Trial registration numberNCT03737188.

Electrical Consumption

Electricity consumption patterns reveal energy demand behaviors and enable strategY implementation to increase efficiency using monitoring systems. However, incorrect patterns can be obtained when the time-series components of electricity demand are not considered. Hence, this research proposes a new method for handling time-series components that significantly improves the ability to obtain patterns and detect anomalies in electrical consumption profiles. Patterns are found using the proposed method and two widespread methods for handling the time-series components, in order to compare the results. Through this study, the conditions that electricity demand data must meet for making the time-series analysis useful are established. Finally, one year of real electricity consumption is analyzed for two different cases to evaluate the effect of time-series treatment in the detection of anomalies. The proposed method differentiates between periods of high or low energy demand, identifying contextual anomalies. The results indicate that it is possible to reduce time and effort involved in data analysis, and improve the reliability of monitoring systems, without adding complex procedures.

The development of amphora production in Colchis is examined, from its beginnings in the mid-4th cent. BC under the influence of vessels from Sinope. The emergence of amphora production should be seen as the result of Hellenic influence upon the economy and upon craftsmen of the E littoral of the Black Sea. Throughout the Classical period one type of Colchian amphora existed, which underwent drastic change in the course of time. Three successive variants may be discerned. The earliest, from the mid-4th to 3rd cent. BC, retains similarities with the Sinopean prototypes. In the late 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, substantial changes in morphology and dimensions take place. In the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD the third variant, with a rib under the rim, appears. Petrographic analysis shows that the vessels were made within one extensive region, Colchis, but at a variety of centres. They were produced in state-owned and private workshops, employing both Greek and local craftsmen. The Greek workshops (or those which had links with Greek potters) were the main exporters of amphorae to the northern Black Sea coastal region from the 4th cent, BC to 1st cent. AD.

AbstractGrowing evidence links traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) to adverse health effects. Previous air pollution studies focused on a few commonly measured pollutants with poor spatial resolution. Well-designed mobile monitoring studies may address this limitation. We designed an extensive mobile monitoring campaign to characterize TRAP exposure levels for a Seattle-based cohort, the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study. The campaign measured particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5), ultrafine particulates (UFP), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at 309 stop locations representative of the cohort. We collected about 29 two-minute measures at each location during all seasons, days of the week, and most times of day for a one-year period. Annual average concentrations of UFPs had similar degrees of spatial variability as BC and NO2 but higher degrees of variability as CO2 and PM2.5. UFPs had less temporal variability than other pollutants. Validation showed good agreement between our BC, NO2, and PM2.5 measurements and regulatory monitoring sites. The results from this campaign will be used to assess TRAP exposure in the ACT cohort.SynopsisWe assessed annual-average traffic-pollutant levels with high spatial resolution at locations representative of participant residences using a temporally balanced short-term mobile monitoring campaign.Abstract Figure
