With global warming, the decrease in sea ice creates favorable conditions for Arctic activities. Sea surface temperature (SST) is not only an important driven factor of concentration (SIC) changes but also medium ocean–atmosphere interaction. However, response to varies different areas. Using optimal interpolated SST data from National Centers Environmental Information (NCEI) and SIC University...

Although the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced manufacturing technologies, and cloud contribute to developing a digital ecosystem that enhances energy efficiency resource utilization, processes are vulnerable timely production delivery. The systems in Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) minimized human-technology interactions foster productivity material flow. However, there is scarce research ...

Imipenem, the first carbapenem discovered, was developed more than two decades ago in response to an unmet need for a highly potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with a strong safety profile. It has since been used to treat more than 26 million patients. In an era where antibiotic use has driven antibiotic resistance, choosing appropriate initial therapy for serious infection is critical....

Western anthropology, based on the belief of dualism of body and mind, has unconsciously but profoundly influenced the basic approach to medicine for centuries. This separation of body and mind has become greater since the day of Decartes. Medical care has thus focused more on disease than illness, pain rather than suffering. New medical technologies bring new hopes of cure, but fail to allevia...

The 21st century has witnessed vast amounts of research into blended learning since the conception of online learning formed the possibility of blended learning in the early 1990s. The theme of this paper is blended learning in mainstream disciplinary communities. In particular, the paper reports on findings from the last two decades which looked at origination, development and future of blende...

Circadian rhythms coordinate our physiology at a fundamental level. Over the last 20 years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift in our perception of what the clocks driving such rhythms actually are, moving from 'black boxes' to talking about autoregulatory transcriptional/post-translational feedback loops with identified molecular components. We also now know that the pacemaker of the suprachia...
