Medical nutrition therapy in long-term adult intensive care patients: effects of protein quantity on muscle mass, biochemical markers, and clinical outcome
(2022-01-18)
Research suggests that degradation of muscle mass and loss of functional proteins due to catabolism are associated with an adverse outcome in critically ill patients. While an adequate protein supply within a medical ...
An environmental and economic assessment of a novel Power-to-Fuel system for biogas plants
(2022-03-02)
Power-to-Fuel (PtF) systems use carbon dioxide and hydrogen as feedstock together for renewable fuel production and can hence contribute to climate change mitigation. This study tries to evaluate whether an innovative PtF ...
Towards the Development of a Continuous Spatio-Temporal Finite Element Based Representation of the Mean Sea Surface
(2022)
The mean sea surface has an important role both in the calculation of the mean dynamic topography and in the area of sea level change as a reference surface. This paper presents a new approach to estimate a continuous ...

Implications of topography and agronomic practices for soil biogeochemical and microbiological properties in Upper Eastern Ghana hilly farmland
(2022-02-10)
While topography can infer erosion potential, implementation of convention practices can trigger accelerated erosion, and both pose major threats to soil abiotic properties and microbiota. The majority of farmlands in the ...
Sensor-Based Phenotyping of Plant’s Physiological Responses to Abiotic Stress
(2022-02-03)
Plant phenotyping can be defined as the systematic recording of morphological, anatomical, physiological and chemical characteristics of plants, as well as their developments and responses to stimuli. The common use of ...
