Systems thinking can shed light on important relationships and conditions that affect community engagement activities.While robust tools like the community capitals framework and the sustainable livelihoods approach provide valuable context for engagement projects, additional insights can stem from models that describe the ebb and flow of different
Summary: The obesity epidemic significantly contributes to overall morbidity and mortality.Bariatric surgery is the gold standard treatment for obesity and metabolic dysfunction, yet the mechanisms by which it exerts metabolic benefit remain unclear.Here, we demonstrate a model of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in nonhuman primates (NHP) that mi
A rigorous exploration of the sea ice data assimilation (DA) problem using a framework specifically developed for rapid, interpretable hypothesis testing is presented.In many applications, DA is implemented to constrain a modeled estimate of a state with observations.The sea ice DA application is complicated by the wide range of spatiotemporal scal
Researches in many laboratories on solar still desalination are concerned with increasing efficiency using only solar energy.One of the techniques is the difference in the thickness of the glass cover of the distiller.In order to see the influence of this parameter on efficiency, three similar stills with three different glass coverings were invest
