The toppling deformation in bank slope of V-shaped Gorge reservoirs in Southwest China is very common.After the impoundment of the reservoir, geological disasters such as collapse and landslide may occur in toppling bank slope, which poses a threat to the normal operation of hydropower projects and personnel safety.Therefore, it is of great enginee
Ecological scenario of the plague microbe Yersinia pestis speciation underlying adequate molecular evolutionary model
It is known that the psychrophilic pseudotuberculosis microbe serotype 1 (Y.pseudotuberculosis 0:1b) causing Far East scarlet-like fever (FESLF) an intestinal infection found in a wide range of invertebrates and vertebrates inhabiting cold regions in the Northern and Central Asia as well as Far East is direct ancestor of the plague causative agent
Using peer-assisted learning to teach basic surgical skills: medical students’ experiences
Standard medical curricula in the United Kingdom (UK) typically provide basic surgical-skills Tool Boxes teaching before medical students are introduced into the clinical environment.However, these sessions are often led by clinical teaching fellows and/or consultants.Depending on the roles undertaken (e.g., session organizers, peer tutors), a peer
A Novel Method for Survival Prediction of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Feature-Selection Techniques
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicted that 10 million people would have died of cancer by 2020.According to recent studies, liver cancer is the most prevalent Curtain/Screen/Blanket cancer worldwide.Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of early-stage liver cancer.However, HCC occurs most frequently in patients with chronic li
Analyzing the Performance of Wave-Energy Generator Systems (SSG) for the Southern Coasts of Iran, in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
The Sea-wave Slot-cone Generator (SSG) wave-energy device is a type of electric energy converting structure that converts energy from sea waves, and which is designed and installed based on wave-overtopping in areas.Most of the previous studies have evaluated SSG systems based on hypothetical waves, considering the system geometry variations.Howeve
