The middle trough serves as a key part of a scraper conveyor. During the working process, falling raw coal lands on the middle plate of the trough, causing impact damage. This study aims to find the optimal working condition combination to minimize impact damage to the middle trough based on the engineering discrete element method (EDEM) and orthogonal matrix analysis (OMA). In EDEM software, simulation data of the impact damage depth and normal cumulative... Читать дальше...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are proteins or protein-domains that do not have a single native structure, rather, they are a class of flexible peptides that can rapidly adopt multiple conformations. IDPs are quite abundant, and their dynamic characteristics provide unique advantages for various biological processes. The field of “unstructured biology” has emerged, in part, because of numerous...

BackgroundDespite efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, Addis Ababa, the country’s COVID-19 epicenter, is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of cases and death rate. While poor public adherence to COVID-19 precautionary practices is evident, factors associated with it are not well studied. We aimed to assess the level of practice of COVID-19 precaution and associated factors.

BackgroundTo compare intravitreal aflibercept injection with intravitreal ranibizumab injection for the risk of major arterial thromboembolic events (ATEs) and glaucoma.
MethodsThis retrospective, nationwide cohort study investigated 15 611 and 3867 patients aged >50 years with at least one pharmacy claim for intravitreal ranibizumab injection and aflibercept injection between 2011 and 2016, respectively. The inverse... Читать дальше...

BackgroundThe general self-rated health (SRH) question is the most common health measure employed in large population surveys. This study contributes to research on the concurrent validity of SRH using representative data with biomarkers from the Czech Republic, a population not previously used to assess the SRH measure. This work determines the relative contribution of biomedical and social characteristics to an individual’s SRH assessment. Читать дальше...

We previously developed a non-cell-dependent biodegradable scaffold to create in situ tissue-engineered vasculature (iTEV) and tested it in a canine inferior vena cava (IVC) model. As iTEV features change dramatically during tissue generation, practical, simple, and accurate methods to evaluate iTEV are needed. The present study examined the usefulness of a novel method to evaluate iTEV growth and remodeling according to a simple formula using angiography... Читать дальше...
