Biological Soil Crusts (BSCs) are organosedimentary assemblages comprised of microbes and minerals in topsoil of terrestrial environments.BSCs strongly impact soil quality in dryland ecosystems (e.g., soil structure and nutrient yields) due to pioneer species such as Microcoleus vaginatus; phototrophs that produce filaments that bind the soil toget

ABSTRACT: Background: Subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) are associated with higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) have been also associated with cognitive decline, MCI, and dementia.Few studies have examined the associated of CVRF and SCC.Methods: Participants were cognitively normal Mexi

Abstract The malicious manipulation deva curl arc angel of quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware is a serious threat to its security, as, typically, neither end users nor QKD manufacturers can validate the integrity of every component of their QKD system in practice.One possible approach to re-establish the security of QKD is to use a redundant n

The gas relay is a common non-electric protection device inside transformers, installed on the connecting pipeline between the transformer oil tank and the oil conservator.When the transformer malfunctions and the oil flow value reaches the heavy gas setting value of the gas relay, a heavy gas alarm is triggered.Therefore, accurately analyzing the

This paper presents a broadband filtering patch antenna.This antenna consists of a rectangular patch, a rectangular ground plane, and an upright substrate.A duospiritalis.com coplanar waveguide (CPW) with T-probe is printed on the front side of the substrate, which can engender the broadband characteristic.On the back side, two transverse stubs cro
