Behaviour change is the target ultimate of environmental campaigns that are being intensively carried out by various parties.One of the environmental issues of global concern is coral bleaching.Coral bleaching threatens biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems around the world because marine ecosystems are the foundation of life on this earth [1]
The brain storm optimization algorithm(BSO) is a population based metaheuristic algorithm inspried by the human conferring process that was proposed in 2010.Since its first implementation, BSO has been widely used in various fields.In this article, we propose an agglomerative greedy brain storm optimization algorithm (AG-BSO) to solve classical Gro
Abstract Background To evaluate spot-scanning proton arc therapy (SPArc) and multi-field robust optimized intensity modulated proton therapy (RO-IMPT) in treating stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.Methods Two groups of stage IIIA or IIIB NSCLC patients (group 1: eight patients with tumor motion less than 5 mm; group 2: six patie
BACKGROUND:Relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes are notable for multiphasic antigenic variation of polymorphic outer membrane lipoproteins, a phenomenon responsible for immune evasion.An additional role in tissue localization is suggested by the finding that isogenic serotypes 1 (Bt1) and 2 (Bt2) of the RF spirochete Borrelia turicatae, which differ on
Nowadays, the environmental assessment becomes more and more of interest as an additional tool for the decision-makers.The researchers in civil engineering focus Grommets on building materials, structures as well as whole buildings environmental evaluation.Analysis of the environmental impact of particular structures may be helpful for selecting bu
