Two models were developed to estimate Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases. One was based on the seroprevalence of Borrelia infections in human samples.

Objectives: This study aimed to review and summarize the studies of nurse-coordinated home-based cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure. Methods: The review was performed using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework.

Abstract Microorganism immobilization has attracted great attention as a traditional method to overcome aqueous organic wastes containing N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In this approach, graphene oxide was modified with functional polymer firstly to obtain micro-composites material (PGO), and then the prepared composites were deposited on the surface of copp…

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to examine associations between exposure to violence, quality of life, and psychological distress. Women aged 19–54 years who had been exposed to violence by someone in a close relationship were compared with women unexposed to violence in Finland.

Abstract In this study, a novel coupling structure based on half‐mode substrate‐integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed with a small size and broad bandwidth. The HMSIW coupler is realised by connecting their equivalent magnetic walls with metal strips, which avoids exposing the semi‐enclosed magnetic walls outside.

Abstract Background In women with singleton pregnancies, maternal adaptation is considered a stress test for later life cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess maternal adaptation in women with twin pregnancies compared to women carrying singletons during and after pregnancy.

This study uses an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the wear rate and friction coefficient of the magnesium alloy AZ91D, based on experimental data from a pin-on-disc tribometer.

Electric load forecasting for buildings is important as it assists building managers or system operators to plan energy usage and strategize accordingly. Recent increases in the adoption of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) have made building electrical consumption data available, and this has increased the feasibility of data-driven load forecasting.

A computational screening study. No refinery or experimental data are used; all input ranges are generic placeholders, the PHREEQC results are model calculations and not experiments, and the economic and greenhouse-gas results are conditional screening estimates, not forecasts.

ABSTRACT The essential factor in developing multi‐robot systems is the generation of an optimal path for task completion by multiple robots. To ensure effective path planning, this paper studies the recent publications and provides a detailed review of the path planning approaches to avoid collisions in uncertain environments.

Hall anomaly related to deviations in Hall carrier concentrations have always been recognized as signs of charge incoherence in organic semiconductors, which lack ordered lattices.

Abstract Background In-silico and in-vitro studies have revealed an appropriate posterior tibial slope (PTS) is critical for normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tension and knee biomechanical behavior of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Directions (styles) in culture have different reserves of strength and different inertia. Among them there is a unique one capable of revival.

Abstract:This paper studied the water flow of SPAC system in Zoige wetland, so as to evaluate accurately and utilize suitably water resource of wetland. Based on the distinctive studies on the sub systems of soil plant atmosphere systems and their interfaces, a new approach of simulation is carried out using coupled model by inputting data needed.
