Sudden Covid lockdowns will weigh on China’s oil demand this year as people avoid mass travel around holidays, dragging fuel consumption in the world’s top crude importer down for 2022 for the first time in two decades, analysts say. Travel by car or plane during the local holidays in September and October is expected to remain low due to fear of being locked down in flash mobility restrictions under China’s “zero Covid” policy. As a result, demand for gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel in China could... Читать дальше...
A Leap into the Open. After the re-structuring of the Adega da Quinta da Faísca was complete, the need for visitor accommodation became apparent. All of the estates were already occupied. Almost entirely. By the vines, the existing houses, and the winery itself. Also, by olive and almond trees. That left the areas where it was, almost impossible to grow vines and then, the nearly endless view.

AimsThe number of ventilator-dependent patients is rapidly increasing globally. As a result, long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV) patients face the choice of receiving health care in respiratory care wards (RCWs) rather than at home. In this study, we applied Andersen’s behavioral theoretical model (ABM) to investigate the determinants of the health care service decisions of patients receiving LTMV.

Most of the existing studies on maker-space focus on internal subjects (such as makers) or external factors (such as policy support, ecological environment, and more). There has been relatively little discussion on the design of a series of mechanisms of maker-space. This paper theorizes the operating mechanism for platform services, resource gathering, network connections and endogenous cultural protection for the maker-space. It uses the method of...

Deep neural networks have shown great improvements in low-dose computed tomography (CT) denoising. Early algorithms were primarily optimized to obtain an accurate image with low distortion between the denoised image and reference full-dose image at the cost of yielding an overly smoothed unrealistic CT image. Recent research has sought to preserve the fine details of denoised images with high perceptual quality, which has... Читать дальше...

ObjectiveWe explored the role of e-cigarette use in smoking cessation based on the stages of change (SOC) model, which is a framework for describing the process of smoking cessation.
MethodsWe used nationwide, cross-sectional data on adults (19+ years) from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES, 2016–2018) and restricted the participants to 3,929 recent smokers, consisting of current smokers and recent quitters (≤2 years). Читать дальше...

Job advertisements are often worded in ways that might pose discrimination risks leading to the exclusion of certain groups of applicants, particularly in relation to their gender. Especially in male-dominated professions or leadership roles, the specific linguistic formulation of job postings acquires relevance if more women are to be attracted to apply. Various technologies have emerged that offer automated text screening,... Читать дальше...

Gene expression is regulated through cis-regulatory elements (CREs), among which are promoters, enhancers, Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements (PREs), silencers and insulators. Computational prediction of CREs can be achieved using a variety of statistical and machine learning methods combined with different feature space formulations. Although Python packages for DNA sequence feature sets and for machine learning are available, no existing package... Читать дальше...
