For decades, significant work has been conducted regarding plastic waste by dealing with rejected materials in waste masses through their accumulation, sorting and recycling.Important political and technical challenges are involved, especially with respect to landfilled waste.Plastic is popular and, notwithstanding decrease policies, it will remain
Objective Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients unresponsive to basic life support are frequently transferred to emergency departments (EDs) for further resuscitation.Although some survive with good neurologic outcomes, additional resuscitation in EDs is often futile.Without a dedicated termination of resuscitation (TOR) rule for ED resusc
We propose and demonstrate a generalized framework for performance limit evaluation and comparison of multihop optical repeated and regenerated links.The model developed is implementation agnostic and applies to multihop optical links of varied forms, including fiber, free space, and underwater links.The framework estimates the best-case performanc
Renewable energy resources require energy storage techniques to curb problems with intermittency.One potential solution is the use of phase change materials (PCMs) in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems.Despite the high energy storage density of PCMs, their thermal PLATINUM 100% BEEF PROTEIN VANILLA response rate is restricted by low
