Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), as the most prevalent human disease, incorporates a broad spectrum of cardiovascular system malfunctions/disorders. While cardiac transplantation is widely acknowledged as the optional treatment ...

Abstract: Determining the contribution of urbanization to extreme high-temperature events is essential to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei (BTH). Based on the dynamic data of land-use change in every 5 ...

Abstract: Based on recent reviews of 11 physically based watershed models, the long-term continuous model soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) and the storm event dynamic watershed simulation model (DWSM) were selected to examine ...

Abstract: The nature of congested traffic flow has been not fully understood until now. An isolated bottleneck on the expressway generally influences a limited segment length, which means attenuation effects of the bottleneck on ...

Abstract: A coupled simulation-optimization with reanalysis-based short-term weather forecasts from a regional climate model (RCM) is proposed to optimize an irrigation scheduling problem. Using different physical configurations of ...

Abstract: In this work, WC-Ni-based composites with fullerene-like WS2 nanoparticles were fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering. High pressure could assist in low-temperature sintering of the composite. The sliding wear ...

Abstract: Patient-specific biventricular computational models associated with a normal subject and a pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patient were developed to investigate the disease effects on ventricular mechanics. These ...

Abstract: Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) alternately stacked by graphene and silicon carbide (SiC) is proposed to theoretically study near-field radiative heat transfer. Heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are calculated using the ...
