In this work, we assessed the possible relation of ionospheric perturbations observed by Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions (DEMETER), Global Positioning System total electron content (GPS TEC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-derived outgoing longwave-Earth radiation (OLR), and atmosp
Background and purpose: Volumetric Tamper Proof Case modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning for head and neck cancer is a complex process.While the lowest achievable dose for each individual organ-at-risk (OAR) is unknown a priori, artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise as a tool to accurately estimate the expected dose distribution for OARs.We
Abstract Background Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a class of powerful oxidative enzymes that have revolutionized our understanding of lignocellulose degradation.Fungal LPMOs of the AA9 family target cellulose and hemicelluloses.AA9 LPMO-coding genes have been identified across a wide range of fungal saprotrophs (Ascomycotina, Basi
The widespread brittle failure of welded beam-to-column connections caused by the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes highlighted the need for Ni-MH retrofitting measures effective in reducing the strength demand imposed on connections under cyclic loading.Researchers presented the reduced beam section (RBS) as a viable option to create a wea
