Multibody dynamic analysis (MDA) has become part of the standard toolkit used to reconstruct the biomechanics of extinct animals.However, its use is currently almost exclusively limited to steady state activities such as walking and running at constant velocity.If we want to reconstruct the full range of activities that a given morphology can achie
In this work, an adaptive NOx emission model is proposed for a SCR system of a 660 MW utility boiler.First, 3-years operating data was collected from the plant SIS system as raw data, which was then filtered using the 12V Kettle R-statistic method and clustered by the condensed nearest neighbor (CNN) rule to form a classified steady-state database.
Background/aimsWe measured the association between underlying chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and antiviral use with infection rates among patients who underwent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing.MethodsIn total, 204,418 patients who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 between January and June 2020 were included.For each case pa
Arteriovenous fistula puncture pain is a serious problem for patients undergoing dialysis and a good indication for topical anesthetics.No previous study has compared lidocaine/prilocaine cream (EMLA) with lidocaine tape for pain relief during arteriovenous fistula puncture in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.To this end, we conducted a
Abstract ZIF-8 may experience ion-responsive degradation in ionic solutions, which will change its initial architecture and restrict its direct biological use.Herein, we report an abnormal phenomenon in which ZIF-8 induces large hydroxyapatite-like crystals when soaked directly in simulated body fluid.These crystals grew rapidly continuously for tw
