Epoxy resin as a thermoset polymer has a suitable thermal resistance with high mechanical properties.In addition, the resin exhibits good continuum presentation for both neutron and gamma beams.Consequantly, it is the primary concern in the nuclear industry.In a neutron shielding, energetic secondary gamma products are unavoidable.For attenuating t
In the eye of the storm: the domestic and sexual violence epidemic amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria
The global pandemic of the coronavirus has resulted in a disruption in life as we know it, with massive effects on tourism, the healthcare system, and the global economy at large.Many countries, initiated measures to curtail the spread of the virus with non-pharmaceutical interventions such as lockdown, quarantine, social tablet at ackermans distan
Biogeographic distributions of neotropical trees reflect their directly measured drought tolerances
Abstract High levels of species essie win me over diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may respond to environmental change.In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the diversity and distribution of tree species, suggesting that many tropical taxa may be physiologically incapable of tolerating dry condition
Which Frequency of Ankle Pump Exercise Should Be Chosen for the Prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Introduction Ankle pump exercise (APE) is an effective method to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities.However, traditional APE at a frequency of 3 times/min applied in the clinic lacked high compliance, and individuals were found to prefer an APE of 30 times/min.This study aimed to compare the effects of APEs with the above t
Categorizing Low-Resolution Aerial Photos by Hessian-Regularized Perceptual Feature Selection
Amid advancements in aerospace technology and remote communication, a proliferation of Earth-observing satellites has been launched, creating a distinction between high- and low-altitude platforms.High-altitude satellites capture low-resolution (LR) aerial images, covering expansive areas, whereas their low-altitude counterparts provide high-resolu
