A discussion of the functional setting customarily adopted in General Relativity (GR) is proposed.This is based on the introduction of the notion of nonlocal point transformations (NLPTs).While allowing the extension of the traditional concept of GR-reference frame, NLPTs are important because they permit the explicit determination of the map betwe
Objectives: This study aimed to obtain representative data on the levels of heavy metals in seafood and here farm produce consumed by the general population in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, a region known for the exploration and exploitation of crude oil.Methods: In May 2012, 25 food items, including common types of seafood, cereals, root crops an
Interactional approaches to prosody have seen an enormous growth in the last decades.One crucial assumption common to these approaches is that prosodic devices may serve as resources for structuring and here organizing an interaction.Methodologically, interactionally informed research of prosody rests upon ethnomethodological conversation analysis
Loneliness and social isolation affect more than 1 in 4 community-dwelling older adults in the United States, who may also require long-term care support.Despite being seen as a solution to the long-term care crisis, most older adults prefer to age in place rather than using skilled nursing facilities.However, in-home care is unsustainable due to a
Human Centrifuge Systems (HCSs) are an effective training tool to improve the G-acceleration and Spatial Disorientation (SD) tolerance of aircrew.Though highly capable HCSs are available, their structure and performance are yet to be fully optimised to efficiently recreate the G-vectors produced using Aircraft Combat Manoeuvres (ACMs).To achieve lo
