In the U.S., black men are at highest risk for requiring kidney transplants but are among those least likely to register for organ donation. Prior outreach used videos culturally targeted for Black communities, yet registration rates remain insufficient to meet demand. Therefore, we assessed ...
(DIC); (a) local true stress-true strain curves in different regions in the functionally graded steel showing differences in the local mechanical responses corresponding to the variations in the stacking fault energy; (b) strain hardening rates corresponding to the regions shown in figure (a,c,...
In the USA, sweetpotato is generally propagated usingslips, which are vines growing directly from sweetpotato roots which have been bedded for the purpose of producing material for propagation. Alternatively, in SSA, sweetpotato is generally propagated usingvines, which come from a previous crop and ...
For these models, our methods could likely be adapted to other optimization problems, such as tuning inputs to achieve regularity of interspike intervals, spiking within some range of rates, or spiking at particular times [7] or finding minimal inputs to generate particular spike patterns [8]....
hand, shear rates elevated above 1000 s−1can also lead to micro injuries in the vessel wall and lead to platelet aggregation22,23. It is therefore recognized that flow rates within a physiological range are necessary to minimize risk of thrombosis at the graft-to-vein anastomosis and ...
observed until harvest, and the effect it has on the sweetpotato root quality significantly reduces marketability (Fite et al.2014; Okonya et al.2016; vanVugt and Franke2018). In some areas, if SPW populations are left uncontrolled, growers have reported up to 100% infestation rates and ...
such as interest rates, exchange rates, equity prices, or commodities prices, and sudden, unexpected changes in the rate or value of the underlying references could expose derivatives holders to large losses and increased cash obligations to counterparties.46In this way, although derivatives can be ...
Bariatric surgery numbers have changed over time in the USA. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has gained popularity during the last years, leaving Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) behind in terms of numbers. The objective of this chapter is to analyze the reason f
Furthermore, the three samples were found to exhibit different thermal expansion rates (Supplementary Fig.7g–i). The\(a\)-axis expands slower than the\(c\)-axis in SrCuSb, both axes almost proportionally expand in SrAgSb, while the\(a\)-axis expands faster in Sr2ZnSb2(Supplementary Fig...
and the receding contact angle were obtained by injecting water into and sucking water from a 2-μl droplet that was placed on the surface. The flow rates of the injecting and sucking processes were 0.2 μl s−1. All the data was averaged from independent measurements of five ...
