Chronic exposure to heavy metals in the environment is a real threat to living organisms [7]. Metal concentrations above threshold levels affect the microbiological balance of soils and can reduce their fertility [8]. Bioaccumulation of toxic heavy metals in biota of the riverine ecosystems may ...
We first focus on the evaluation of the results provided by two preliminary rounds for the study (see Methods), which ultimately led us to pursue the subsequent production-level runs. This is followed by a quantitative evaluation of predictive model performance over the production rounds. We then...
1). Those are put together through the construction and block-diagonalization of the adjacency matrix (A), with Aii = 1, and Aij = 1 if the distance between atoms i and j is below a threshold, otherwise zero. Thus, A is evaluated based on interatomic distances due to its ...
The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) regulations require testosterone levels to be below a certain threshold for female athletes. While no competitor can achieve great victories without hard work and practice, there are certainly examples of outliers whose genetics give them an advantage. Howe...
Regarding the sensory evaluation results, the retronasal detection threshold of most aromas increased. The temporal aroma intensity showed a significant decrease at early time points and was almost unaffected at later time points. In addition, temporal dominance of sensation (TDS) curves revealed that...
Halogen chemistry affects the number of days exceeding the European Union target threshold for the protection of human being and vegetation from ambient O3. In light of the significant impact of halogen chemistry on air quality, we recommend that halogen chemistry be considered for inc...
In this study, the AAU pipeline has been used for image analysis, and it is based on a score threshold system [78, 81, 82, 84, 87]. This software is used to compare the infrared spectra collected from the μFT-IR against the spectra of the reference database for automated analysis....
However, it was reported that filler size did not influence FM and FS for composite with a filler content of 60 wt %. In another research study, a methacrylate resin showed increased percolation threshold concentration and maximum filler loading for micro-glass filler particles (1 μm) compared...
Cross-section data below the threshold, and Relatively high degree of scattered data. Almost in all cases, the data points within an individual reference were considered in this manner as a fundamental part of the selection/rejection process. Only in a few cases mainly involving significant outlier...
Positron emission tomography (PET) constitutes a functional imaging technique that is harnessed to probe biological processes in vivo. PET imaging has been used to diagnose and monitor the progression of diseases, as well as to facilitate drug development efforts at both preclinical and clinical stages...
