Extending contact screening within a 50-m radius of an index tuberculosis patient using Xpert MTB/RIF in urban Pakistan: Did it impact treatment outcomes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Pakistan implemented initiatives to detect tuberculosis (TB) patients through extended contact screening (ECS); it improved case detection but treatment outcomes need assessment. Objectives To compare ... -
Extending local magnitude ML to short distances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Local magnitudes calculated at stations less than 10 km from earthquakes in the British Isles are up to one unit of magnitude higher than local magnitudes calculated at more distant stations. This causes a considerable ... -
Extending protein interaction networks using proteoforms and small molecules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Motivation: Biological network analysis for high-throughput biomedical data interpretation relies heavily on topological characteristics. Networks are commonly composed of nodes representing genes or proteins that are ... -
Extending the cooperative phenotype: Assessing the stability of cooperation across countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-15)This paper studies whether individual cooperation is stable across settings and over time. Involving more than 7,000 subjects on two different continents, this study documents positive correlation in cooperative behavior ... -
Extending the household sector of MacroLab to improve the explanation of trend in personal saving rate in the U.S.
(Master thesis, 2012-05-31)MacroLab (Wheat 2007 a) is a system dynamics model of the U.S. economy. It was developed to improve understanding of macroeconomics. In particular, it helps students to learn about the dynamics of an economy. This study ... -
Extending Whitney's extension theorem: nonlinear function spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We consider a global, nonlinear version of the Whitney extension problem for manifold-valued smooth functions on closed domains , with non-smooth boundary, in possibly non-compact manifolds. Assuming is a submanifold with ... -
Extension and remodelling of teachers' perceived professional space
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This article examines the sociocultural shaping of teacher agency by focusing on how various conditions mediate teachers’ perceived professional space. Agency is understood from a sociocultural perspective as the mediated ... -
Extension of the hard-sphere model for particle-flow simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Discrete element methods require appropriate models for particle-particle collisions. Usually, researchers use soft-sphere types of models where the collision dynamics is solved numerically. This makes the simulation ... -
Extensional inheritance and surface processes as controlling factors of mountain belt structure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Surface processes and inherited structures are widely regarded as factors that strongly influence the evolution of mountain belts. The first-order effects of these parameters have been studied extensively throughout the ... -
Extensions in graph normal form
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Graph normal form, introduced earlier for propositional logic, is shown to be a normal form also for first-order logic. It allows to view syntax of theories as digraphs, while their semantics as kernels of these digraphs. ... -
Extensive bidirectional genetic overlap between bipolar disorder and cardiovascular disease phenotypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Patients with bipolar disorder (BIP) have a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), despite considerable individual variation. The mechanisms underlying comorbid CVD in BIP remain largely unknown. We investigated polygenic ... -
An extensive common‐garden study with domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon in the wild reveals impact on smolt production and shifts in fitness traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-19)Interactions between domesticated escapees and wild conspecifics represent a threat to the genetic integrity and fitness of native populations. For Atlantic salmon, the recurrent presence of large numbers of domesticated ... -
Extensive intraspecies cryptic variation in an ancient embryonic gene regulatory network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-15)Innovations in metazoan development arise from evolutionary modification of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). We report widespread cryptic variation in the requirement for two key regulatory inputs, SKN-1/Nrf2 and MOM-2/Wnt, ... -
Extensor tendon release in tennis elbow: results and prognostic factors in 80 elbows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-16)Purpose The objectives of this study were to evaluate the results in the outpatient treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis with release of the common extensor origin according to Hohmann and to determine any ... -
Extent and Volume of Lava Flows Erupted at 9°50′N, East Pacific Rise in 2005–2006 From Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Seafloor volcanic eruptions are difficult to directly observe due to lengthy eruption cycles and the remote location of mid-ocean ridges. Volcanic eruptions in 2005–2006 at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise have been well ... -
External Developmental Assets and Positive Identity Among Emerging Adults in Norway, Romania, Slovenia, and Turkey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The present study adopts The Developmental Assets and Positive Youth Development (PYD) perspectives which (in contrast to the deficit-based approaches which highlight risks and deficit in youth development) claim that young ... -
External Hydrocephalus as a Cause of Infant Subdural Hematoma: Epidemiological and Radiological Investigations of Infants Suspected of Being Abused
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) and chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in infants have been regarded as highly specific for abuse. Other causes of CSDH have not been investigated in a large population. Purpose The ... -
