A three-pillar approach to assessing climate impacts on low flows

The objective of this paper is to present a framework for assessing climate impacts on future low flows that combines different sources of information, termed pillars. To illustrate the framework three pillars are chosen: (a) extrapolation ...

Bioecological Study on the Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) in Sari County, North of Iran

Background: Phlebotomine sand flies are vectors of Leishmania species, the causative agents of leishmaniasis in the world. Present study aimed to evaluate the bioecological aspects of sand flies in different ecotopes in Sari County, north o...

Expansão da agricultura e sua vinculação com o processo de urbanização na Região Nordeste/Brasil (1990-2010)

O processo de urbanização brasileiro tem se modificado nos últimos vinte anos. Os estudos em economia regional têm apontado para a forte influência da expansão da agricultura de exportação em territórios de fronteira como um dos principais ...

Online booking accommodation in rural tourism: An UTAUT perspective

The paper investigates the most important factors that cause tourists to intend or to already use a website for booking accommodation in rural areas of the Republic of Serbia. On a sample of 212 respondents who had previously used websites ...

Exploring Cambodian Generation Z’s Perceptions of Urban and Rural Tourism Destinations: A Study of Destination Image, Travel Motivation, and Intention to Visit

This study explores Cambodian generation Z’s perceptions of urban and rural tourism destinations by examining the relationships of destination image, travel motivation, intention to visit, and a moderator of tourism destination type. Data...

Ergosphere and shadow of a rotating regular black hole

The spacetime singularities in classical general relativity predicted by the celebrated singularity theorems are formed at the end of gravitational collapse. Quantum gravity is the expected theory to resolve the singularity problem but we a...

Program-Based Lung Cancer Care: A Prospective Observational Tumor Registry Linkage Study

Introduction: Low-dose computed tomography screening (LDCT) and lung nodule programs (LNP) promote early lung cancer detection, improve survival; Multidisciplinary Care Programs (MDC) promote guideline-concordant care. The impact of such pr...

Practical role of preoperative echocardiography in low-risk non-cardiac surgery

BackgroundDue to increased needs to reduce non-fatal as well as fatal cardiac events, preoperative echocardiography remains part of routine clinical practice in many hospitals. Data on the role of preoperative echocardiography in low-risk n...

Modulation Instability and Abundant Exact Solitons to the Fractional Mathematical Physics Model Through Two Distinct Methods

The paper consists of various types of wave solutions for the truncated M-fractional Bateman–Burgers equation, a significant mathematical physics equation. This model describes the nonlinear waves and solitons in different physical fields s...

Controlled Plasmonic Coupling in Silver Nanoplate Dimers for Enhanced Plasmonic Sensing

Noble metal nanostructures provide versatile platforms for light manipulation through localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). Among them, triangular silver nanoplates (AgNPTs) exhibit strong field-enhancement and spectral tunability, ...

Developing a New Biophysical Tool to Combine Magneto-Optical Tweezers with Super-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

We present a novel experimental setup in which magnetic and optical tweezers are combined for torque and force transduction onto single filamentous molecules in a transverse configuration to allow simultaneous mechanical measurement and man...

Impact of using virtual and concrete manipulatives on students’ learning of fractions

Fraction is considered one of the main topics in mathematics in the early years. Many students struggle to progress in fractions in the classrooms and on exams. Teaching strategies are among the most important factors affecting student lear...

Comparative Study of CUDA GPU Implementations in Python With the Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm for LASSO

A general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) is employed in a variety of domains, including accelerating the spread of deep natural network models; however, further research into its effective implementation is needed. When using the compute unified devic...

Weight-loss strategies of South African female university students and comparison of weight management-related characteristics between dieters and non-dieters

Abstract Background Female university students are at risk for weight gain and use of inappropriate weight-loss strategies. By gaining a greater understanding of the weight-loss strategies used by and weight management related characteristi...

Phase 2a/b randomised placebo-controlled dose-escalation trial of triheptanoin for ataxia-telangiectasia: treating mitochondrial dysfunction with anaplerosisResearch in context

Summary: Background: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare multisystem disease characterised by neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxia, lung disease, immune deficiency, high cancer risk, and mitochondrial dysfunction. A-T cells demonstrate de...

Isotonic Design for Phase I Clinical Trials: Can We Improve Further?

One of the most challenging tasks in clinical trials is finding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to be tested in the next phase. An assurance for the safety of the patients and recommendation of a suitable dose for phase II are the main obj...

An assessment of the mathematical model for estimating of entropy optimized viscous fluid flow towards a rotating cone surface

Abstract Entropy optimization in convective viscous fluids flow due to a rotating cone is explored. Heat expression with heat source/sink and dissipation is considered. Irreversibility with binary chemical reaction is also deliberated. Nonl...

High Dimensional QSAR Study of Mild Steel Corrosion Inhibition in acidic medium by Furan Derivatives

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl by 17 furan derivatives was investigated experimentally using potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The furan derivatives inhibit the mild steel corrosion. The experimental inhibition e...
