In the farm-to-fork (F2F) pilot, we distinguish the following five actors: • The actor in the farm (user/administrator of the IoT island that is deployed in the farm); • The actor of the transportation company which associates the products with the conditions under which the products...
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits rapid senescence that is promoted by the insulin/IGF-1 signalling (IIS) pathway via regulated processes that are poorly understood. IIS also promotes production of yolk for egg provisioning, which in post-reproductive animals continues in an apparently futile...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of death among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly in low- and middle-income countries. To effectively prevent the development of CVDs in T2DM, considerable effort has been made to
Since December 2019, the world has been experiencing the challenge of facing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), a severe infectious disease caused by the n
Although there have been several promising imaging approaches in the field of skin cancer detection, various translational issues still need to be solved. Cost is the main barrier to widespread implementation of skin cancer detection devices. An RCM machine is priced at about $100,000, and MelaFi...
This approach promotes nanoparticle uptake by cells, but is not applicable to complex biological systems. In order to prevent aggregation pf porphyrins for photodynamic light therapy, PEG BTA SCNPs were also equipped with a porphyrin, which can generate single oxygen upon light irradiation. In the ...

statistical downscale. While statistical-dynamical downscaling is a more complex blending technique, it is computationally less expensive. These methods use a statistical approach to refine the GCM outputs into a few characteristic states, which can be later used with the RCM models (Fuentes and ...
Where it is applicable, the country or regional level VRE assets are further aggregated across technology types. For instance, onshore and offshore wind assets per country are aggregated into a wind asset, whilst wind and solar assets can be aggregated into one asset as well to represent the ...
The first step is to optimize the bogie structure, which is applicable for newly designed products, then to reduce snow accumulation on the subgrade, and melting snow and ice accumulation in the cavity. But these methods have been discovered to be ineffective options for long-distance HSRs in ...
