We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the letter of Behrens and Taeger1 regarding our article ‘Comparison of expert and job-exposure matrix-based retrospective exposure assessment of occupational carcinogens in the Netherlands Cohort Study’.2 Behrens and Taeger ra...

The heat transferred through protective clothing under long wave radiation compared to a reference condition without radiant stress was determined in thermal manikin experiments. The influence of clothing insulation and reflectivity, and the interaction with wind and we...

Taking as an example research on cinemagoing in Broadway picture palaces during Jewish holidays and the interpretation of these findings within the larger context of Jewish-American acculturation, this chapter reflects upon digital cinema historiography and the usage of...

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) has undergone significant development since its inception, with a focus on improving standardization and reproducibility of its acquisition and quantification. In a community-wide effort towards robust and reproducible clinical ASL image pro...

Earth system models demonstrate large uncertainty in projected changes in terrestrial carbon budgets. The lack of inclusion of adaptive responses of vegetation communities to the environment has been suggested to hamper the ability of modeled vegetation to adequately re...

(Abridged) Star and planet formation theories predict an evolution in the density, temperature, and velocity structure as the envelope collapses and forms an accretion disk. The aim of this work is to model the evolution of the molecular excitation, line profiles, and r...

Abstract: Purpose To characterize new molecular factors implicated in a hereditary congenital facial paresis (HCFP) family and otosclerosis. Methods We performed exome sequencing in a four-generation family presenting nonprogressive HCFP and mixed hearing loss (HL). MEP...

Very few genetic variants have been associated with depression and neuroticism, likely because of limitations on sample size in previous studies. Subjective well-being, a phenotype that is genetically correlated with both of these traits, has not yet been studied with g...

In this paper we describe an interactive and web-based visual analytics tool combining linked visualization techniques and algorithmic approaches for exploring the hierarchical visual scanning behavior of a group of people when solving tasks in a static stimulus. This h...
