Abstract Background High salt intake is a risk factor for hypertension and Can Bongs cardiovascular disease.Reducing salt intake has been shown to reduce blood pressure.Despite population-level interventions, including product reformulation and public awareness campaigns, adult salt consumption in the UK still exceeds recommendations; this is prima
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are involved in circadian and other non-image forming visual responses.An open question is whether the activity of these neurons may also be under the regulation mediated by the neurohormone melatonin.In the present work, by double-staining immunohistochemical technique, we studied the Ga
Physical-approach-based wind forecasts have the merit of a heavily reduced uncertainty in predictions, but very often suffer from a prohibitively lengthy numerical computation time, if high spatial resolutions are required.To tackle this hurdle, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has manifested extraordinary power in reducing the number of compu
