Floods are brutal, catastrophic natural hazards which affect most human beings in terms of economy and life loss, especially the large river basins worldwide. The Indus River basin is considered as one world’s basins, comprising several major tributaries, has experienced severe floods its history. There currently no proper early flood warning system for can help administrative authorities cope ...

In healthy humans and rodents, chronic and acute exercise improves subsequent insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle. A large animal species with similar metabolic responses to exercise would permit longitudinal studies, including repeated biopsies of muscle and other tissues not possible in rodents, and enable study of interactions with insulin-resistant physiological states not feasible in hu...

Data centers are promising participants in demand response programs (i.e., reducing a large electricity demand upon utility’s request), making power grid more stable and sustainable. In this paper, we focus on enabling colocation data center demand response. Colocation is an integral yet unique segment of data center industry, where multiple tenants house their servers in one shared facility. N...

A new biomaterial is presented which consists of a cellulose derivative--silanised hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC-SIL) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Rheological properties of the polymer itself and its mixture with BCP are pH-dependent. At pH 10-12 HEC-SIL is liquid and undergoes quick gellation at pH < 9. Similarly, the paste of HEC-SIL and BCP is fluid and injectable at higher pH and soli...

BACKGROUND Providing sufficient oxygenation and ventilation is of paramount importance for the survival of emergency patients. Therefore, advanced airway management is one of the core tasks for every rescue team. Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard to secure the airway in the prehospital setting. This review aims to highlight special considerations for advanced airway management preced...
