Twelve years of measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD), cloud fraction, cloud top Ignition Coils height, ice cloud optical thickness and lightning flash density from 2001 to 2012 have been analyzed to investigate the effect of aerosols on electrical activity over an area of China.The results show that increasing aerosol loading inspires the co
Indoor plants can positively impact physical and mental health in daily life.However, the benefits of viewing indoor plants may be enhanced if the plants emit a fragrant aroma.In this crossover-design study, we measured the physiological and psychological effects of fragrant and non-fragrant Primula Decorative Jars plants on 50 female college stude
The growing need of the real-time traffic data has spurred the deployment of large-scale dedicated monitoring infrastructure systems, which mainly consist of the use of inductive loop detectors.However, the loop sensor Energy Bars data is prone to be noised or even missed under harsh environment.The state-of-the-art wireless sensor networks provide
Abstract Background To investigate the performance of a narrow-scope knowledge-based RapidPlan (RP) model for optimisation of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans applied to patients with pleural mesothelioma.Second, estimate the potential benefit of IMPT versus VMAT for this class of patients.
The adjustable bandgap, single crystal structure, and strong chemical inertness of GaN materials make them excellent candidates for water splitting applications.The fabrication of GaN nanostructures can enhance their water splitting performance by StickPads increasing their surface area, improving photon absorption, and accelerating photocatalytic
