The ECG diagnosis of LVH is predominantly based on the QRS voltage criteria. The classical paradigm postulates that the increased left ventricular mass generates a stronger electrical field, increasing the leftward and posterior QRS forces, reflected in the augmented QRS amplitude. However, the low sensitivity of voltage criteria has been repeatedly documented. We discuss possible reasons for this

A common misperception among non-arctic residents is that northern environments are less productive and more hostile to human life than other biomes; after all, it is true that in most arctic regions, traditional agriculture is generally not possible, and species richness is relatively low. Combatting such misperceptions is important because while the past century has foisted many traumatic change

Amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is the crucial protein component of extracellular plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. The plaques also contain gangliosides lipids, which are abundant in membranes of neuronal cells and in cell-derived vesicles and exosomes. When present at concentrations above its critical micelle concentration (cmc), gangliosides can occur as mixed micelles. Here, we study the coassembly of th

We experimentally explore the role of institutions imposing collective sanctions in sustaining cooperation. In our experiment, players only observe noisy signals about individual contributions in finitely repeated public goods game with imperfect monitoring, while total output is perfectly observed as it is often the case in collective action problems in society. We consider sanctioning mechanism

The emergence of sixth-generation (6G) networks has spurred the development of novel testbeds, including sub-THz networks, cell-free systems, and 6G simulators. To maximize the benefits of these systems, it is crucial to make the generated data publicly available and easily reusable by others. Although data sharing has become a common practice, a lack of standardization hinders data accessibility

Electric Road Systems, that allow electric vehicles to charge while driving, are emerging as an alternative to static charging stations for electric vehicles. In order to ensure safe and reliable operation of future electric road deployments more knowledge and understanding is needed as to how electric transients occur and affect the electric road system and corresponding charging vehicle. This pa

The development of new industries in peripheral regions has gained renewed attention recently. Yet, the processes through which peripheral regions can mobilize external resources and capabilities, and turn them into locally sticky resources for structural change and longer-term economic prosperity, have not been sufficiently conceptualized. This article proposes anchoring-based regional system bui

Animal offerings made at various sacred sites were an integral part of the ethnic religion of the indigenous Sámi people of northern parts of present-day Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia from ca. 800 AD onwards. The offering tradition was interwoven with subsistence patterns and human-animal relationships, as in the Sámi worldview offerings were a means to communicate with gods and guardian spi

This article examines nuclear imaginaries in the Arabic-speaking Middle East. It situates people from the Arab world into nuclear thought, looking at how the atomic age rapidly became part of everyday lives. Embracing the idea that reality and fiction are not only deeply intertwined but also co-constitutive, it analyses everyday engagements with the nuclear condition in the aftermath of the bombin

Objective: We tested the diagnostic accuracy of previously proposed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) osteoarthritis (OA) definitions in a cohort after acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Methods: We studied participants with posteroanterior and lateral knee radiographs and MRI 5 years after ACL injury, scored using the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Osteoarthritis Score. Radiographic OA (RO

Autonomous robots must operate reliably and predictably in uncertain environ-ments. Throughout the robot software development cycle, robot operators and de-velopers must be able to specify their safety and functional requirements reliablyand explicitly. To this end, we propose to use Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs)to address their needs. To show the applicability and effectiveness of this approac

We investigate a concept called PREP - Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice, with the goal of engaging engineering educators in studying, documenting and sharing their initiatives to improve teaching practices. This concept is compared to other methodologies where the researcher and educational practitioner sometimes coincide. The study is based on a pilot, with six participants following th

The Ilkurlka structure is an ~12 km diameter buried circular aeromagnetic anomaly within the Officer Basin in Western Australia. Prior studies postulated a range of origins, including meteorite impact. We report the presence of pervasive deformation in the first drill cores from the structure. Brecciated sandstone and siltstone contain arrays of quartz grains with concussion fractures and rare sho

Pollinators benefit from increasing floral resources in agricultural landscapes, which could be an underexplored co-benefit of mass-flowering crop cultivation. However, the impacts of mass-flowering crops on pollinator communities are complex and appear to be context-dependent, mediated by factors such as crop flowering time and the availability of other flower resources in the landscape. A synthe

Solid-state klystron modulators are typically based on oil-immersed high-voltage (HV) pulse transformers due to their high performance, robustness, and topological simplicity. However, in considering high-power multi-millisecond pulsed applications based on this topology, modulator power components and their design become increasingly complicated and, correspondingly, modulator size becomes proble

Early diagnosing and patient individualized biomarker profiling are two key elements for curative interventions within cancer. Detecting cancer, when the tumor is still localized, allows for a more efficient treatment-either through surgery alone or with systemic therapies, treating a naïve and less heterogeneous tumor cell population. Developing tumors consist of complex and stage-dependent genet
