In order to promote the development of biodiversity, the present study conducted three sampling surveys at 26 representative sampling sites selected from the Chishui River, a freshwater river in China, in July (rainy season), November (flat water per...
The D-S evidence theory is extensively applied to manage uncertain information. However, the theory encounters challenges related to conflicts during the fusion process, impeding the precise identification of multi-subset focal elements. This paper i...
Accurately predicting building heating and cooling loads is crucial for optimizing HVAC systems and enhancing energy efficiency. However, data-driven models often face overfitting issues due to scarce training data, a common challenge for new constru...
Patterns of diversity across spatial scales in forest successions are being overlooked, despite their importance for developing sustainable management practices. Here, we tested the recently proposed U-shaped biodiversity model of forest succession....
Background: high meat intake may contribute to several chronic diseases including obesity. However, evidence is insufficient on the relation between red/white meat intake and gut flora among individuals with varying degrees of adiposity. Objective: i...
In an indoor environment, object identification and localization are paramount for human-object interaction. Visual or laser-based sensors can achieve the identification and localization of the object based on its appearance, but these approaches are...
A comparative analysis of the riparian vegetation dominated by Alnus glutinosa in Italy and Tyrrhenian islands, based on literature data and unpublished relevés, is presented. A total of 456 phytosociological relevés were processed. For...
Human skin microbiota plays a crucial role in the defense against pathogens, and is associated with various skin diseases. High elevation is positively correlated with various extreme environmental conditions (i.e., high ultraviolet radiation), which...
