Background The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on paediatric populations varied between high-income countries (HICs) versus low-income to middle-income countries (LMICs).We sought to investigate differences in paediatric clinical outcomes and identify factors contributing to disparity between countries.Methods The International Severe Acute Respira
Abstract In ground-penetrating radar (GPR) applications, a salient map is useful for data analysis and 140 building a consensus for data interpretation.In this paper, we present a novel method to map the salient region of a hyperbola using an asymmetry measurement and seam carving.First, on the basis of the magnitude and phase information of the Ze
Torsional systems with gear pairs such as the gearbox of wind turbines or vehicle driveline systems inherently show impact phenomena due to clearance-type nonlinearities when the system experiences sinusoidal excitation.This research investigates the vibro-impact energy of unloaded gears in geared systems using the harmonic balance method (HBM) in
Hybridization and polyploidization are major driving forces in plant evolution.Allopolyploids can be occasionally formed from a cross between distantly related species but often suffer from chromosome instability and infertility.xBrassicoraphanus is an intergeneric allotetraploid (AARR; 2n = 38) derived from a cross between Brassica rapa (AA; Misc
This article contends that the transmedia Chamomile franchising model pioneered by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has worked to structurally produce an industry-approved conception of an everyfan.This transmedia everyfan, modeled as an avid consumer, collector and completist, importantly privileges stereotypically male-dominated modes of fan e
