The association between plant-based diets and dietary patterns with cardiometabolic risk in a sample of commercial taxi drivers in South Africa
(MDPI Journal, 2023)The consumption of unhealthy foods and a sedentary lifestyle predispose individuals to non-communicable diseases. This study investigated the distribution and the association of plant-based diets (PBDs) and dietary patterns ... -
Particle number concentration measurements on public transport in Bangkok, Thailand
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)Traffic is a major source of particulate pollution in large cities, and particulate matter (PM) level in Bangkok often exceeds the World Health Organisation limits. While PM2.5 and PM10 are both measured in Bangkok regularly, ... -
Boundless baryons: how diffuse gas contributes to anisotropic tSZ signal around simulated three hundred clusters
(Oxford University Press, 2023)Upcoming advances in galaxy surveys and cosmic microwave background data will enable measurements of the anisotropic distribution of diffuse gas in filaments and superclusters at redshift z = 1 and beyond, observed through ... -
A unique, ring-like radio source with quadrilateral structure detected with machine learning
(Oxford University Press, 2023)We report the discovery of a unique object in the MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Le gacy Survey (MGCLS) using the machine learning anomaly detection framework ASTRONOMALY. This strange, ring-like source is 30 from the MGCLS field ... -
An ∼600 pc view of the strongly lensed, massive main-sequence galaxy J0901: a baryon-dominated, thick turbulent rotating disk with a clumpy cold gas ring at z = 2.259
(The astrophysical journal, 2023)We present a high-resolution kinematic study of the massive main-sequence star-forming galaxy (SFG) SDSS J090122.37+181432.3 (J0901) at z = 2.259, using ∼0.″36 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array CO(3-2) and ... -
