Objective: To learn about students’ needs for English nursing purposes (ENP) and study how to better improve the current situation of ENP teaching in medical schools. Method: A voluntary service questionnaire was used evaluate students from three colleges Yunnan province, Hebei Anhui province by random sampling. Results: 1. Most are willing acquire but deem that present cannot meet their needs....

How future multiple tropical cyclone events (MTCEs) could change is crucial for effective risk management and ensuring human safety, however, it remains unclear. This study projects changes in MTCEs by 2050 the major basins of Northern Hemisphere using high-resolution climate models. Results show a significant increase frequency duration over North Atlantic (NA), notable decrease western Pacifi...

This study presents a series of short-term studies (total duration 48 h) of uptake and depuration of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) in neonate Daphnia magna. Gold nanoparticles (Au NP) were used to study the influence of size, stabilizing agent and feeding on uptake and depuration kinetics and animal body burdens. 10 and 30 nm Au NP with different stabilizing agents [citrate (CIT) and mercaptou...

Large-scale ecosystem restoration efforts, such as those in the Florida Everglades, can be long-term and resource intensive. To gauge success, restoration efforts must have a means to evaluate positive or negative results of instituted activities. Edaphic properties across the Everglades landscape have been determined to be a valuable metric for such evaluation, and as such, a baseline conditio...

Accurate strain energies due to nonplanar distortion of 114 isolated pentagon rule (IPR) fullerenes with 60-102 carbon atoms have been calculated based on B3LYP/6-31G(d) optimized structures. The calculated values of strain energy due to nonplanar distortion (Enp) are reproduced by three simple schemes based upon counts of 8, 16, and 30 distinct structural motifs composed of hexagons and pentag...

This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory activities of the extracts obtained from the medicinal plants Aster tataricus, Pinellia ternata, Ostericum koreanum, Platicodon grandiflorum, Asarum sieboldii, Tussilage farfara, and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus. These plants are used in Korea to treat inflammatory and respiratory ailments, including asthma. The hot water extract (HWE) of A. sessilifloru...

Drawing upon the natural-resource-based view (NRBV), this study assesses role of environmental strategy (ENS) and awareness (ENA) in enhancing firms’ financial performance. Additionally, we hypothesize a mediating competitive advantage among these associations. We analyze several hypothesized relationships using survey data from 240 Bangladeshi manufacturing SMEs. The partial least squares stru...

The aim of the study was to understand removal characteristics engineered nanoparticles (ENP) from sludge treatment processes in wastewater plants (WWTP). Removal ENP (TiO2, ZnO) tested on primary and secondary sludge, using differential sedimentation experiments quantify attachment particulates. To better characteristics, aquatic conditions such as mixed liquid suspended solid concentration, I...
