Port-au-Prince Bay is a natural harbor adjacent to Port-au-Prince city (2.143 million inhabitants in 2010; ERH, 2019), which hosts ~25% of the total country population. The first port installations were built in 1911 (Noel, 1999) and has a maximum depth of ~20 m. The bay is contami...
Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) heavy metals are considered potentially hazardous toxins which cause serious health problems. Many studies reported that the water of Qaroun Lake in Fayoum, Egypt with its fish farms was contaminated with Pb and Cd above permissible levels. However, there is a lack...
The UE energy was corrected for the presence of the elliptic flow [31], which was subtracted from each calorimeter cell within the tow- ers included in the reconstructed jet. The final jet kinematics were calculated via a four-momentum sum of all cell energy deposits (assumed massless) ...
The contribution of signal candidates with the reflected K–π mass assignment was taken into account with an additional term, which is small thanks to the good PID capability. It was parameterised by fitting the simulated invariant-mass distribution with a double Gaussian function. To improve the...

Urban planning in Mazatlán City should account for the confinement of currents in the inner part of the EUL, which favors sediment and pollutant accumulation; thus, to improve the lagoon's environmental quality, where both wild and farmed fishery products are produced, discharges of treated or ...
While the degree of the blue shift is smaller than the experimental value, which seems to result from the dielectric constant of single crystal is used in our calculation24. When the pore size is small and the period is short, the dispersive relationship of the structure can be equaled ...
The standard ALICE coordinate system is used, in which the nominal interaction point is the origin of a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. The z-axis is along the beam pipe, the x-axis points towards the center of the LHC, φ is the azimuthal angle around the z-axis and θ is ...
This is consistent with our model’s incorporation of the variable of nighttime light intensity, which reflects a higher level of economic development and a higher prevalence of smoking. We predicted the prevalence of tobacco use across three levels of regions: province, city, and rural areas. ...
