To ensure the safety of ships and bridges at the same time during collisions, a new type of bridge pier protection system is proposed, in which one is composed of corrugated steel plates, bolts, and corrugated steel pipes (CSP), and the other is composed of ordinary steel plates, bolts, and corrugated steel pipes (OSP).To study their anticollision
Technologies and practices to remove carbon from the atmosphere (‘negative emissions technologies’) will be challenging nacrack.com to scale-up.Efforts to incentivize or govern their scale-up globally risk failing if they miss the social challenges.This paper analyzes prospective challenges for negative emissions through examining how decarboni
Social media use is central to the organization of adolescent peer groups.Nonetheless, a small percentage of youth report that they do not have an active presence on any of the social networking platforms that are commonly accessed by their peers.The current study examines the academic and social functioning of this under investigated subgroup.We r
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells express auto/xeno antigen-reactive antibodies that bind to self-epitopes and resemble natural IgM antibodies in their repertoire.One of the antigenic structures recognized is oxidation-induced malonedialdehyde that is present on low-density lipoprotein, apoptotic blebs, and on certain microbes.The poor-prognosti
The most advanced D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer has 5000+ qubits, however, every qubit is connected to a small number of neighbors.As such, implementation of a fully-connected graph results in an order of magnitude reduction in qubit count.To compensate for the reduced number of qubits, one has to rely on special heuristic software such as qbso
