Transverse rumble strips (TRS) are a common choice to reduce vehicle speed and increase driver alertness on roadways.However, there is a potential trade-off bookend using them on rural roadway due to the noise problem created when vehicles go over the strips.The present study investigated the noise level, spectral analysis and the possible noise ge
Breast Implant-associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma: A Canadian Surgical Oncology Survey
Background:.Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) awareness has increased, resulting in concerns regarding the safety of implant-based reconstruction.Breast cancer patients are first seen by surgical oncologists, who are therefore potentially the first health-care professionals to encounter concerns regarding BIA-ALCL.
Estimation of Heavy Metals in Agricultural Soils Using Vis-NIR Spectroscopy with Fractional-Order Derivative and Generalized Regression Neural Network
With the development of industrialization and urbanization, heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils tends to accumulate rapidly and harm human health.Visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy provides the feasibility of fast monitoring of the variation of heavy metals.This study explored the potential of fractional-order derivative (
