Influence of human-induced land use change on hydrological processes in semi-humid and semi-arid region: A case in the Fenhe River Basin

Study Region: The Fenhe River Basin (FRB) is an important tributary of the Yellow River Basin and locate in a semi-arid and semi-humid region in northwest China.Over the past four decades, significant anthropogenic activities have resulted in significant land use and land cover change (LUCC) that have markedly impacted hydrological processes in FRB

In vivo evaluation of a polyester and fiberglass composite intramedullary nail for femoral osteosynthesis in calves

The objective of this study was to test a composite of polyester resin and fiberglass in the form of an intramedullary nail for osteosynthesis of femoral fractures in calves.The methodology was established based on a previous study that used a bovine femur finite element model to simulate fractures, which were then stabilized by the same nails as p

Efficient Vector-Based Forwarding for Underwater Sensor Networks

Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are Roping style Saddle significantly different from terrestrial sensor networks in the following aspects: low bandwidth, high latency, node mobility, high error probability, and 3-dimensional space.These new features bring many challenges to the network protocol design of UWSNs.In this paper, we tackle one fundam
