Genetic and observational associations of nuclear magnetic resonance-measured lipid-related traits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study by Wang, Y

“…</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> 107,504 eligible participants aged 35-84 years were included in the main analyses (33% male; mean [SD] age, 51 [12] years). In cross-sectional analyses, complex correlation patterns within and across the same lipoprotein category within NMR lipid panels were observed, in line with their biochemical structures and interactions in lipid metabolism. …”

Power system adequacy and cost/worth assessment incorporating virtual power plants by Bagchi, Arijit

“…In the available literature pertaining to the reliability evaluation of power systems incorporating VPPs, the system studies are all carried out at the distribution network level, meaning that they fail to quantify the average energy that the VPP can export to the transmission grid after meeting local distribution network demands and constraints. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…In addition to the identification of device ageing and incipient failure, this thesis also studies lifetime estimation technique for three-phase power converter systems based on physics of failure approach. Normally, mean time to failure (MTTF) is used to check the reliability of power electronic components. …”

Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022-2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Vollset, SE, Ababneh, HS, Abate, YH, Lacey, BWH, GBD 2021 Forecasting Collaborators

“…&lt;h4&gt;Methods&lt;/h4&gt;Using forecasts of major drivers of health such as the Socio-demographic Index (SDI; a composite measure of lag-distributed income per capita, mean years of education, and total fertility under 25 years of age) and the full set of risk factor exposures captured by GBD, we provide cause-specific forecasts of mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by age and sex from 2022 to 2050 for 204 countries and territories, 21 GBD regions, seven super-regions, and the world. …”
