Plastic beverage bottles are a significant contributor to marine plastic waste. Water refill stations (WRSs) and refillable water bottles are sustainable alternatives increasingly being adopted worldwide.

This paper presents a dealer-assisted weighted threshold PS signing framework by integrating PS signatures with a Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT)-based weighted ramp secret sharing (WRSS) mechanism.

Introduction: Existing measures of occupational stress often do not count an essential factor that determines the level of worker stress, which is psychosocial factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric features of an adaptation of the Health and Safety Executive-Work Related Stress Scale (HSE-WRSS), a measure that includes psychosoc…

Abstract BackgroundRetention of specialists is critical for sustaining health system performance. In Malaysia, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has implemented multiple workforce retention strategies (WRSs) to enhance job satisfaction and reduce turnover among specialists.

Development economists have preached that functioning warehouse receipt systems (WRSs) will help smallholder African farmers access loans to help reduce poverty and enhance financial inclusion.

We used adult male and female GEPR-3s. Acoustically evoked seizures consisted of wild running seizures (WRSs) that evolved into generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCSs) and eventually culminated into forelimb extension (partial tonic seizures).

Male, adult Sprague–Dawley rats were used. Acoustically evoked AWSs consisted of wild running seizures (WRSs) that evolved into generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCSs).

Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) serve as critical load-bearing components in long-span steel bridges, but high-amplitude welding residual stresses (WRSs) generated during the welding process pose significant threats to structural integrity.

The integration of sedimentological and micropaleontological data in the Zanclean and Gelasian shallow-marine deposits of the Crotone Basin (southern Italy) has allowed documentation of meter-to-decameter-scale high-frequency sequences bounded by wave-ravinement surfaces (WRSs), which in turn are composed of meter-scale sedimentological cycles, referred to…

The network employs a Wavelet-based Residual State Space (WRSS) block, combining the multi-scale decomposition of discrete wavelet transforms with Vision Mamba to efficiently capture global features.

Under long-term dynamic water pressure, weld zones in vertical shaft pressure-bearing steel pipes are prone to cracking induced by welding residual stresses (WRSs), which may further propagate and threaten structural safety.

Their normalized fractions, together with observed speedup, form a Workload–Runtime Scaling Signature (WRSS). Tracking WRSS across worker counts identifies Bottleneck Transition Points (BTPs).

The efficient separation of solid and liquid phases of soil under reductive conditions is of the utmost importance to study soil chemistry and to predict the mobility and bioavailability of nutrients and toxic contaminants in waterlogged reduced soils (WRSs).
