Abstract Background Natural disturbance is a fundamental component of the functioning of tropical rainforests let to natural dynamics, with tree mortality the driving force of forest renewal.With ongoing global (i.e.land-use and climate) changes, tropical forests are currently facing deep and 3m speedglas 9002nc rapid modifications in disturbance r
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignancy with high morbidity and mortality but lacks effective treatments thus far.Although the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors in recent years has shed light on the treatment of HCC, a considerable number of patients are still unable to achieve durable and ideal clinical benefits.Therefore,
This study examined the effects of various waste materials on the properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), along with their designs and ideal mix ratios.Several UHPC mixtures have been developed using the Taguchi L16 method, which generally forms part of the experimental programs for evaluating the properties of UHPCs.Furthermore, the
(1) Background: Let the continuous parameter X be a proxy variable for the outcome of an intervention R.Quasi-experimental studies are designed to evaluate the effect of R over X when forming a randomized control group (without the intervention) is impractical or/and unethical.The most popular quasi-experimental design, the difference-in-difference
Several studies investigated the side effect of adjuvant cancer treatments, and different types of preventive techniques or treatments have been assessed.Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common neurological side effect.Exercise training has been widely studied as an adjuvant therapy to prevent CIPN and improve post-chem
