Abstract Background Removal of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) in aquatic environments has been intensively studied.Some members of natural microbial communities play a vital role in transforming chemical contaminants, however, complex microbial interactions impede us from gaining adequate understanding of TOrC biotransformation mechanisms.To simpl
Abstract Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) adversely affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL).HAE often compromises the HRQoL due to the impact on functional capacity caused by edema, pain, other symptoms, and psychosocial factors.Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) focus on HRQoL and are crucial tools for evaluating the burden of
The shipping 3 Ball Tote industry is becoming increasingly aware of its environmental responsibilities in the long-term.In 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) pledged to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 50% by the year 2050 as compared with a baseline value from 2008.Ammonia has been regarded as one of the potential
As is well known, multi-hop range-free localization algorithms demonstrate pretty good performance in isotropic networks in which sensor nodes distribute evenly and densely.However, these algorithms are easily affected by network topology, causing a significant decrease in positioning accuracy.To improve the localization performance in anisotropic
