TL;DR: The association withAmyloid plaques may indicate that HSPG is involved in amyloid plaque formation and/or persistence but involvement with early diffuse forms of PrP suggests a more fundamental role in scrapie pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The tactical positions of the players and their specific tasks influence the activity profile and physical demands during a match.
Abstract: The main objective of this study was to analyse the distance covered and the activity profile that players presented at the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Complementarily, the distance covered by each team within the same competition was analysed. For the purposes of this study 443 players were analysed, of which 35 were goalkeepers, 84 were external defenders, 77 were central defenders, 182 were midfielders, and 65 were forwards. Afterwards, a thorough analysis was performed on 16 teams that reached the group stage, 8 teams that achieved the round of 16, 4 teams that reached the quarter-finals, and 4 teams that qualified for the semi-finals and finals. A comparison of the mean distance covered per minute among the playing positions showed statistically significant differences (F(4,438) = 559.283; p < 0.001; 2 = 0.836; Power = 1.00). A comparison of the activity time among tactical positions also resulted in statistically significant differences, specifically, low activity (F(4,183.371) = 1476.844; p < 0.001; 2 = 0.742; Power = 1.00), medium activity (F(4,183.370) = 1408.106; p < 0.001; 2 = 0.731; Power = 1.00), and high activity (F(4,182.861) = 1152.508; p < 0.001; 2 = 0.703; Power = 1.00). Comparing the mean distance covered by teams, differences that are not statistically significant were observed (F(3,9.651) = 4.337; p < 0.035; 2 = 0.206; Power = 0.541). In conclusion, the tactical positions of the players and their specific tasks influence the activity profile and physical demands during a match.

TL;DR: The driving cycle was obtained from recorded data in actual traffic conditions, using the car chase technique, and the proposed TRAffic Flow IndeX (TRAFIX) enables the calculation of a representative driving cycle from the various measurements undertaken during two stages of experiments.
Abstract: In this paper, the development of a driving cycle for the urban area of the city of Edinburgh is presented. The driving cycle was obtained from recorded data in actual traffic conditions, using the car chase technique. A new statistical method of analysing the recorded data was developed. The proposed TRAffic Flow IndeX (TRAFIX) enables the calculation of a representative driving cycle from the various measurements undertaken during two stages of experiments. Data from the City of Edinburgh Council traffic monitoring stations were weighted in proportion to traffic flows on the constituent driving routes. A comparison between the European ECE cycle and the presently proposed Edinburgh driving cycle (EDC) has also been made.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the work the BEQUEST network has undertaken to develop such an integrative and multi-scalar assessment methodology and sets out the types of assessment methods it is possible to use in 'up-theante' and providing such city-wide evaluations.

TL;DR: Although findings were mixed, there was some evidence supporting a range of approaches that mental health nurses could offer to carers, and a need for pragmatic studies to determine the extent that these approaches can be delivered within nursing practice.
