Three notable trends were observed
Assessment of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from personal measurements considering the body shadowing effect in Korean children and... (Publications)
using a portable exposure meter tailored to capture 14 Korean radiofrequency (RF) bands ranging from 87.5 to 5875 MHz. The participants carried the device for 48 h and kept a time-activity diary using a smartphone [...] 4 times. Each frequency band contribution to total RF-EMF exposure consisted of 76.7%, 2.4%, 9.9%, 5.0%, 3.3%, and 2.6% for downlink, uplink, WiFi, FMRadio, TV, and WiBro bands, respectively. Among the

For compounds 5 and 7 absolute configuration was confirmed by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular [...] nicotiflorin. Five compounds isolated from the alkaloidal fraction were piperidine alkaloids. Compounds 5 and 6 were inactive carpamic acid and methyl carpamate, while three alkaloids 7-9 showed high antiplasmodial

RESULTS: 804 excess deaths (5.4%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.07.9%) were estimated for summer 2015 compared with previous summers [...] occurred in people aged 75 years and older. Ticino (10.3%, 95% CI -1.822.4%), Northwestern Switzerland (9.5%, 95% CI 2.716.3%) and Espace Mittelland (8.9%, 95% CI 3.714.1%) showed highest excess mortality during

Reproducibility of retrospective assessment of outdoor time-activity patterns as an individual determinant of long-term ambient ozone exposure (Publications)
patterns were tested in 168 lifelong residents (ages 17-21) of California. A test-retest design (within 5-7 days) was employed. (1) Based on a set of questions (AQUES) on outdoor 'heavy' and 'moderate' activity [...] values differed across approaches, ranging from 1.0 (ATAB) to an unrealistically high estimate of 3.5 (A24H) h/day. The ATAB mean values were close to expectations when compared to published data. CONCLUSIONS:
