Human β-defensin 3 (hBD3) is an antimicrobial peptide and a chemoattractant molecule expressed in human keratinocytes. Lysates prepared from Lactoplantibacillus plantarum KG (KG lysates), a fermented lactobacillus strain with Ginseng extracts, s...

Person re-identification (Re-ID) is a key technology used in the field of intelligent surveillance. The existing Re-ID methods are mainly realized by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), but the feature information is easily lost in the operat...

Transport is one of the sectors with the highest greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that is imperative to reduce in order to decrease global warming. Although modern vehicles and arterial roads have adopted technological and structural improvements to en...

In the present study, an attempt was made to enrich cookies with ground seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum L.) and to determine the effect of this addition on the quality of cookies. The content of nutrients, fibre, and calorific value, as well...

The engineering technology of undercrossing an airport flight area is relatively mature; however, the use of shield tunnels crossing the operating airport flight area in high liquidity sandy cobble stratum has rarely been reported. To discuss the fea...

Activated carbon (AC) is one of the most used air purification materials with excellent adsorption capacity for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this work, Bi2O2CO3 (BOC) nanomaterials, as a photocatalysis component, are grown on the surface of...

Saving fuel by splitting a flight mission with an intermediate stop for refuelling is described by the concept of intermediate stop operations. This can also be beneficial to the climate impact of aviation, if the flight level and intermediate stop a...

Due to the widespread integration of renewable energy sources connected to AC and DC power systems by means of power electronics converters, electromagnetic noise propagates along lines, and metallic earth-return structures. EMI filters are commonly...

The lack of a complete and reliable data series often represents the main difficulty in carrying out climate studies. Diverse causes, such as human and instrumental errors, false and incomplete records, and the use of obsolete equipment in some meteo...

For the effect of two-sided sudden surcharge/unloading on existing shield tunnels, an indoor dimensional reduction model test was conducted at a scale of 1:15.5, measuring the ground settlement, lateral convergence of the shield tunnel, and additiona...
