Evaluating Agricultural Food Supply Chain Resilience in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic
With the spread of the global COVID-19 pandemic, agricultural food supply chains (AFSC) have suffered from unprecedented challenges and disruption. AFSC must possess extremely high levels of resilience when confronted by the...
Transmission dynamics and control measures of COVID-19 outbreak in China
COVID-19 is reported to have been brought under control in China. To understand the COVID-19 outbreak in China and provide potential lessons for other parts of the world, in this study we apply a mathematical model with multiple...
A Study on Pollution in Livestock and Poultry Breeding in Shiyan City
With the investigation and research of agricultural ecology situation, the pollution characteristics of livestock manure were indicated by the statistical analysis of data as well as the effect of livestock and poultry breeding...
A think-aloud method of investigating translanguaging strategies in learning Chinese characters

Asian scripts that are significantly different from Roman-derived alphabets usually impose difficulties in learning. Translanguaging has therefore been explored as a pedagogical tool for the language classroom, including...

Matrix-free GPU implementation of a preconditioned conjugate gradient solver for anisotropic elliptic PDEs

Many problems in geophysical and atmospheric modelling require the fast solution of elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) in “flat” three dimensional geometries. In particular, an anisotropic elliptic PDE for the...

Construction of the influenza A virus transmission tree in a college-based population
BACKGROUND: Co-infection of different influenza A viruses is known to occur but how viruses interact within co-infection remains unknown. An outbreak in a college campus during the 2009 pandemic involved two subtypes of...

Writing and Worship in Deng Zhimo’s Saints Trilogy
N Ganany
Jan 30, 2022
Around the turn of the seventeenth century, the prolific writer-editor Deng Zhimo produced three illustrated books narrating the lives of Lü Dongbin (The Flying Sword), Xu Xun (The Iron Tree), and Sa Shoujian (The...
Influence of Structure Parameters of Flux Diverters on Performance of Superconducting Energy Storage Coil

This article studies the influence of flux diverters (FDs) on energy storage magnets using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils. Based on the simulation calculation of the H equation finite-element model, FDs are...

High-quality depth up-sampling via a supervised classification guided MRF model

In this paper, a Supervised Classification assisted Markov Random Field (SC-MRF) model is proposed for generating high-quality up-sampled depth maps. The proposed model aims to reduce depth bleeding and depth confusion...

High strength mullite-bond SiC porous ceramics fabricated by digital light processing

Fabricating SiC ceramics via the digital light processing (DLP) technology is of great challenge due to strong light absorption and high refractive index of deep-colored SiC powders, which highly differ from those of resin...

Cu/Ag Sphere Segment Void Array as Efficient Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Substrate for Detecting Individual Atmospheric Aerosol

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) shows great promise in studying individual atmospheric aerosol. However, the lack of efficient, stable, uniform, large-array, and low-cost SERS substrates constitutes a major...

Mutant p53 as an Antigen in Cancer Immunotherapy

The p53 tumor suppressor plays a pivotal role in cancer and infectious disease. Many oncology treatments are now calling on immunotherapy approaches, and scores of studies have investigated the role of p53 antibodies in...

Sub-5 nm single crystalline organic p-n heterojunctions.
The cornerstones of emerging high-performance organic photovoltaic devices are bulk heterojunctions, which usually contain both structure disorders and bicontinuous interpenetrating grain boundaries with interfacial defects....
Selective Dealkenylative Functionalization of Styrenes via C-C Bond Cleavage.
As a readily available feedstock, styrene with about 25 million tons of global annual production serves as an important building block and organic synthon for the synthesis of fine chemicals, polystyrene plastics, and...
A GIS-CA model for planning bikeways upon the footpath network
This study proposes a geographic information system (GIS)-based cellular automata (CA) model, which is designed for planning bikeways upon existing footpath networks within an urban area. The CA model was developed based on a...

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with urban water infrastructure

Municipal water and wastewater services have complicated sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and quantifying their roles is critical for tackling global environmental challenges. In this study we provide a systematic...

Bottom-up growth of n-type monolayer molecular crystals on polymeric substrate for optoelectronic device applications.
Self-assembly of monolayers of functional molecules on dielectric surfaces is a promising approach for the development of molecular devices proposed in the 1970s. Substrate chemically bonded self-assembled monolayers of...
Viscoelastic Hydrogel Microfibers Exploiting Cucurbit[8]uril Host-Guest Chemistry and Microfluidics.
Fiber-shaped soft constructs are indispensable building blocks for various 3D functional objects such as hierarchical structures within the human body. The design and fabrication of such hierarchically structured soft materials...
