Background and Purpose: Inverse treatment planning for lung cancer can be challenging since density heterogeneities may appear inside the planning target volume (PTV).One method to improve the quality of intensity modulation is the override of low density tissues inside the PTV during plan optimization.For magnetic resonance-guided radiation therap
Crushing mechanism of a mobile pellet harvester
The treatment and utilization of straw is a considerably complex type of problem in agricultural production.A mobile pellet harvester integrates the mechanisms of picking, drying, crushing, and pelletizing, thereby solving the problem caused by the traditional method and reducing human effort click here and material resources.The crushing mechanism
The unseen epidemic: trauma and loneliness in urban midlife women
Abstract Background Connectedness and attachment are vital parts of humanity.Loneliness, a state of distress in reaction to perceived detachment and isolation, is reported by over one-third of U.S.adults and is associated with numerous physical and mental health consequences.What contributes to loneliness, especially in women and minority populatio
Ciliate diversity and distribution patterns in the sediments of a seamount and adjacent abyssal plains in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean
Abstract Background Benthic ciliates and the environmental factors shaping their distribution are far from being completely understood.Likewise, deep-sea systems are amongst the least understood ecosystems on Earth.In this study, using high-throughput DNA sequencing, we investigated the diversity and community composition of benthic ciliates in dif
Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Queen Reproductive Potential Affects Queen Mandibular Gland Pheromone Composition and Worker Retinue Response.
Reproductive division of labor is one of hellfire sloe gin the defining traits of honey bees (Apis mellifera), with non-reproductive tasks being performed by workers while a single queen normally monopolizes reproduction.The decentralized organization of a honey bee colony is maintained in large part by a bouquet of queen-produced pheromones, the d
