The use of digital content has become a powerful tool to evaluate and track macro-scale trends in human-nature relations. This is an emerging field study known as conservation culturomics, that seeks understand human culture through quantitative analysis large bodies content. Here, we used relative search volume on Google Search culturomic metric public interest investigate the global impact 20...

Along with the remarkable progress registered in oncological treatment that led to increased survival of cancer patients, treatment-related comorbidities have also become an issue for these long-term survivors. Of particular interest is the development of cardiotoxic events, which, even when asymptomatic, not only have a negative impact on the patient`s cardiac prognosis, but also considerably ...

Antifreeze proteins are produced by extremophile species to control ice formation and growth, and they have potential applications in many fields. There are few examples of synthetic materials which can reproduce their potent ice recrystallization inhibition property. We report that self-assembled enantiomerically pure, amphipathic metallohelicies inhibited ice growth at just 20 μM. Structure-p...

Critical infrastructure systems are vulnerable to physical and cyber attack. Securing these systems is a top priority for the U.S., but ongoing efforts ignore important aspects of the information technology (IT) lifecycle and focus primarily on securing the operational phase of these systems. Adversaries have ample opportunity to compromise our critical systems at every stage of those systems’ ...

The critical infrastructure cannot operate without SCADA systems; this has made the task of securing SCADA systems a national security priority. While progress has been made in securing control networks, security at the field device level is still lacking. Field devices present unique security challenges and these challenges are compounded by the presence of legacy devices. This paper describes...

This article examines why and how a national health insurance (NHI) proposal targeting universal health coverage (UHC) in Nigeria developed over time. The study involved document reviews, in-depth interviews, a further review of preliminary analysis by relevant actors and use of a stakeholder analysis approach. The need for strategies to improve healthcare funding during the economic recession ...
