BackgroundThe hemodialysis regimen is an inevitable and mandatory treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).During the dialysis journey, patients may experience maladaptation in terms of sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL).Psychosocial resources such as social support may have

The reconstruction of an existing railway is important for railway reformation or double-track design.Obtaining the curve parameters of the railway and the location of the main stake accurately and rapidly is the key issue for existing railway reconstruction.A new method based on point cloud data is proposed in this paper.The issue of reconstructio

Photorhabdus insect-related toxins A and B (PirA and PirB) were first recognized as insecticidal toxins from Photorhabdus luminescens.However, subsequent studies showed that their homologs from Vibrio parahaemolyticus also play critical roles in the pathogenesis of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimps.Based on the structural f

Memristive devices are novel electronic devices, which resistance can be tuned by an external voltage in a non-volatile way.Due to their analog resistive switching behavior, they are considered to emulate the behavior of synapses in neuronal networks.In this work, we investigate memristive devices based on the field-driven redox process between the

In this paper, we propose a generalized shift-HSS (denoted by SFHSS) iteration method for solving nonsingular saddle point systems with nonsymmetric positive definite (1, 1)-block sub-matrix, and theoretically BIOTIN 300MCG verify its convergence property.In addition, we discuss the algebraic properties of the resulted SFHSS preconditioner and esti
