Teaching evaluation of “traditional Chinese medicine” course for eight-year undergraduates of Peking Union Medical College

Objective To explore the role of teaching evaluation in the practice of “traditional Chinese medicine” course for eight-year undergraduates of Peking Union Medical College. Methods With a secret questionnaire survey, statistics and summariz...

Utility of Bone Marrow Cell Block in the Diagnosis of Haematological Disorders: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: The examination of Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) smears and Biopsies (BMBx) are well established in the diagnosis of various haematological and non-haematological disorders. While both techniques have unique advantages over the o...

Data resource profile: a nationally representative linked pregnancy cohort in Canada integrating clinical, social, and environmental data

Introduction Perinatal outcomes are shaped by clinical, social, and environmental factors, yet Canada lacks a nationally representative pregnancy cohort capturing these influences at the individual-level. This gap has limited the ability to...

Linking Data for Mothers and Babies in De-Identified Electronic Health Data.

ObjectiveLinkage of longitudinal administrative data for mothers and babies supports research and service evaluation in several populations around the world. We established a linked mother-baby cohort using pseudonymised, population-level d...

Evaluation of distilled water quality and production costs from a modified solar still integrated with an outdoor solar water heater

Solar water distillation is an effective technology for producing potable water using sustainable energy sources. However, the widespread use of this technology in industrial and domestic applications is hindered by low daily production com...

Advancing sovereign ESG performance in China through renewable energy industrialization and government effectiveness

Abstract This study examines the relationship between renewable energy use, industrialization, governance effectiveness, population growth, and technological innovation, and sovereign environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance,...

Comprehensive renewable energy

Comprehensive Renewable is the only multi-volume reference work of its type at a time when renewable energy sources are seen increasingly as realistic alternatives to fossil fuels. As the majority of information published for the target aud...

High-Performance Tuning for Model Predictive Control for a Renewable Energy Grid-Interface Converter With LCL Filter

Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a highly regarded control strategy in power electronics for renewable energy applications. While it minimizes tracking errors and control effort, a significant challenge is the lack of systemati...

Effects of Annealing and Deformation on Sagging Resistance of a Hot-Rolled, Four-Layered Al Alloy Clad Sheet

Multilayer brazeable aluminum alloy sheet is prone to collapse during high-temperature brazing process. The sagging resistance of the aluminum composite sheet needs to be further improved for quality control. Effects of annealing and rate o...

The future of quantum computing with superconducting qubits

For the first time in history, we are seeing a branching point in computing paradigms with the emergence of quantum processing units (QPUs). Extracting the full potential of computation and realizing quantum algorithms with a super-polynomi...

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, quantum technology    is entering the scene with the promise of radically changing the technological paradigm. Quantum computing, simulation, quantum communications and the combination of this...

Identification of Different Types of High-Frequency Defects in Superconducting Qubits

Parasitic two-level-system (TLS) defects are one of the major factors limiting the coherence times of superconducting qubits. Although there has been significant progress in characterizing basic parameters of TLS defects, exact mechanisms o...

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing, and to an even greater extent quantum technology, is changing the world. Quantum computing is not an evolution of classical computer science; it is actually a revolution that completely changes the computing paradigm. Qua...

Two nearly complete genomes reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the significant fruit quality differences caused by bud sport between yellow and white-fleshed loquat (Eriobotrya japonica L.).

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

Computational Molecular Biology

In one of the first major texts in the emerging field of computational molecular biology, Pavel Pevzner covers a broad range of algorithmic and combinatorial topics and shows how they are connected to molecular biology and to biotechnology....

Design Considerations for a Distributed Low-Cost Air Quality Sensing System for Urban Environments in Low-Resource Settings

With rapid urbanization, hazardous environmental exposures such as air, noise, plastic, soil and water pollution have emerged as a major threat to urban health. Recent studies show that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe contaminated air ...

Minimizing churn in distributed systems

A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn-change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate can increase costs or decrease service quality. This paper studies ...
