Total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) concentration in the soil are an indicator of soil degradation.To understand how land-use may impact these concentrations in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF), we analyzed the effect of four land-uses on TOC stocks (STK.TOC) and TN stocks (STK.TN) in a semi-arid region of Brazil.Soil samples w
Air gap eccentric analysis and fault detection of traction motor
Abstract To solve the problem of air gap eccentric fault of traction motor, the fault characteristic frequency is close to the fundamental frequency, and the decomposed frequency affects each other, which is easy to cause spectrum aliasing.A reconstruction of variational mode decomposition method is proposed (reconstructed variational mode decompos
Engineering chimeric antigen receptor-T cells for cancer treatment
Abstract Intratumor heterogeneity of tumor clones and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in cancer ecosystems contribute to inherent difficulties for tumor treatment.Recently, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been successfully applied in the treatment of B-cell malignancies, underscoring its great potential in antitumor therapy
Collective action, premodern good government, and the transformation from subaltern to politically engaged citizenry
Research inspired by collective action theory has provoked a rethinking of premodern governance, including state formation.We briefly summarize key elements of this theoretical turn, first, by demonstrating that, as predicted by the existing theory, political collective action Consumer DNA Test is enhanced when the provision of good government moti
Development and justification of parameters of a microwave convective hop dryer
To solve the problem of low energy efficiency and the absence of small-sized hop dryers, a microwave convective continuous-flow hop dryer has been Queen Sofa Bed developed with reasonable parameters that allow preserving the consumer properties of hops.The scientific innovative idea of implementing the technology of drying hops in the working chamb
