Abstract Background Patients presenting with inoperable colon cancer at first onset (ICF) or at time of relapse (ICR) are considered in unrecoverable.The therapeutic goal for unrecoverable cancer is to prolong overall survival (OS) and maintain a high quality of life (QOL).As data on objective indicators of QOL in cancer patients, such as length of
Common reed (Phragmites australis), an exotic invasive plant in North America, alters wetlands and thus affects the abundance, development and behavior of many animal species.We evaluated the effect of common reed invasion on 1) the abundance of nocturnal flying insects, and 2) the activity of one of their predators, insectivorous bats.As bats are
Railway derailments present a safety hazard, carrying the potential for severe consequences for both human lives and the economy.Implementing derailment containment provisions (DCPs) near the track centerline is essential for mitigating risks in operating high-speed rail (HSR) while providing significant advantages for the large-scale upgrade of ex
A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon.These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections.A Wireless Sensor ultrastar dc hc550 Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction a
