The complement system is a fundamental part of the innate immune system that plays a key role in the battle of the human body against invading pathogens.Through its three dorisvale station for sale pathways, represented by the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways, the complement system forms a tightly regulated network of soluble proteins, m
The aim of this study was to determine the association between bicycle helmet use in adults (16 years and older) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in emergency departments (EDs) in the Netherlands.The conducted research was a retrospective case-control study in patients aged 16 years and older who sustained a bicycle accident and therefore visited t
This paper presents a review of concepts related to wildfire risk assessment, including the determination of fire ignition and propagation (fire danger), the extent to which fire may spatially overlap with valued assets (exposure), and the potential losses and resilience to those losses (vulnerability).This is followed by a brief discussion of how
Mesoscale dynamics are a fundamental process in space physics, but fall within an observational gap of current and planned missions.Particularly in the solar wind, measurements at the mesoscales (100s RE to a few degrees heliographic longitude at 1 au) are crucial for understanding the connection between the corona and an observer anywhere within t
Collision imminent steering is an automotive active safety feature designed to perform an evasive lane change maneuver when a forward collision cannot be avoided by braking alone.Previous work developed a nonlinear one-level model predictive controller to perform such a maneuver in a straight highway environment and at high speeds.In this article,
