The circulation of vector-borne zoonotic viruses is largely determined by the overlap in the geographical distributions of virus-competent vectors and reservoir hosts.What is less clear are the factors influencing the distribution of virus-specific lineages.Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the most important etiologic agent of epidemic encephal
Flexible and wearable battery-free backscatter wireless communication system for colour imaging
Abstract Wireless imaging, equipped with ultralow power wireless communications and energy harvesting (EH) capabilities, have emerged as battery-free and sustainable solutions.However, the challenge of implementing wireless colour imaging in wearable applications remains, primarily due to high power demands and the need to balance energy harvesting
The occurrence, types, reasons, and mitigation strategies of defensive medicine among physicians: a scoping review
Abstract Background Defensive Medicine (DM) concept refers to all medical care provided by physicians without increasing the benefits to the patient, the primary purpose of which is to prevent the risk of litigation.Although several studies have been published investigating the occurrence of DM around the world, no review conducted on DM among phys
Enhanced luminescent properties of carbon quantum dots on thermo-responsive vinylcaprolactam hydrogel matrix
This research consistsof the preparation and luminescence assessment of hybrid materials made by mixing carbon quantum dots (CQDs) obtained, by a hydrothermal process, from avocado seeds, and vinyl caprolactam (VCL) based thermo-responsive hydrogels.These hydrogels were made by aqueous emulsion homo polymerization of VCL or by the copolymerization
