Ecological soil-screening levels (Eco-SSLs) were developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the purposes of setting conservative soil screening values that can be used to eliminate the need for further ecological assessment for specific analytes at a given site. Ecological soil-screening levels for wildlife represent a simplified dietary exposure model solved in ...

There is global interest in spectroscopy and the development of large diverse soil spectral libraries (SSL) to model organic carbon (SOC) monitor, report, verify (MRV) its changes. The reason that increasing SOC can improve food production mitigate climate change. However, ‘global’ modelling with such hyperdimensional SSLs do not generalise well locally, e.g. at a field scale. To address this c...

As the world progresses toward a digitally connected and sustainable future, integration of semi-supervised anomaly detection in wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs) promises to become an essential tool preserving water resources assuring continuous effectiveness plants. When these complex dynamic systems are coupled with limited historical data or anomalies, it is crucial have powerful tools...

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is an oxidative deterioration when oxidants such as reactive oxygen species attack lipids that contain double bonds especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The mechanism of LPO composed three steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. It can result from several reaction pathways: (1) auto-oxidation, (2) enzymatic oxidation, or (3) photo-oxidation. UV solar...

The staphylococcal superantigen-like proteins (SSLs) are close relatives of the superantigens but are coded for by a separate gene cluster within a 19-kb region of the pathogenicity island SaPIn2. rSSL7 (formally known as SET1) bound with high affinity (K(D), 1.1 nM) to the monomeric form of human IgA1 and IgA2 plus serum IgA from primate, pig, rat, and horse. SSL7 also bound the secretory form...

As the need of handheld devices such as cell phones, speakers, cameras etc., is growing, low power consumption has important design issues for integrated circuits. Level Shifter is an interfacing circuit which can interface low core voltage to high inputoutput voltage. In order to achieve reduction in power consumption and delay, the proposed level shifter named Single Supply Level Shifter (SSL...

This study aims at finding a typical pattern in the eye movement, when human obtains an interpretation of a presented image. We conducted experiments where subjects looked at abstract artworks and commercial posters. We compared the eye track lines with subjects’ statements about the interpretation of the image. The results show the tendency that eyes draw lines in the velocity between saccade ...

Abstract Background Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has become the mainstay of therapy with regard to larger polyps. Serrated lesions (SLs) including traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), large hyperplastic polyps (HP) and sessile (SSLs) have been associated high rates incomplete resection. There an increasing role margin ablation combined EMR reduce local recurrence. Purpose Our aim was eval...
