Background & Objective: Clear cell carcinomas (CCC) differ from other types of ovarian and endometrial carcinomas in biolo...

Invasive Computing enables a resource-aware programming style, which includes adapting to external resource changes similar to malleability. We introduce asynchronously-malleable applications, which can adapt at any time without synchronizing the whole application, in contrast to specific synchronization points. We show how master-slave applications meet the requirements for asynchronous mallea...

Yield prediction for tomatoes in greenhouses is an important basis making production plans, and yield accuracy directly affects economic benefits. To improve the of tomato Chinese-style solar (CSGs), a wavelet neural network (WNN) model optimized by genetic algorithm (GA-WNN) applied. Eight variables are selected as input parameters output. The GA adopted to optimize initial weights, thresholds...

The biogas yield of rice straw during anaerobic digestion can be substantially increased through solid-state sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pretreatment. This study was conducted to explore the mechanisms of biogas yield enhancement. The chemical compositions of the pretreated rice straw were first analyzed. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR)...

A large ongoing debate centers on the costs and benefits of increasing the minimum wage in an economy. Supporters of minimum wage legislation highlight that it can shift the earnings distribution in favor of low-paid workers by shrinking the bottom tail of the distribution. Opponents highlight its disemployment effect and the fact that it might reduce the share of earnings going to low-paid wor...
