Ductility is a feature which allows a structure to undergo large plastic deformations without any strength loss.Yield dampers are energy dissipation devices which increase the ductility and control the vibration of structures by absorbing earthquake input energy.If a structure is properly designed according to the standard, if a severe earthquake o
Evaluation of three 3ABC ELISAs for foot-and-mouth disease non-structural antibodies using latent class analysis
Abstract Background Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of even-toed ungulates.Serological diagnosis/surveillance of FMD presents several problems as there are seven serotypes worldwide and in the event of vaccination it may be necessary to be able to identify FMD infected/exposed animals irrespective of their vaccinat
Application of direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) in forensic science: a comprehensive review
Abstract Background As the rate of crime is constantly increasing, the workload on the forensic analyst also piles up.The availability of a limited number of seized samples makes it crucial to directly analyze the sample, thereby preventing wastage in the prior Varistors steps of sample preparation.Due to such needs, the forensic community is consi
COVID-19 Vaccination and Vaccine Hesitancy in the Gaza Strip from a Cross-Sectional Survey in 2023: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Associations with Health System Interventions
Background: Preventing COVID-19 in Gaza is crucial due to the devastation of advanced health services infrastructure by war.Despite the high protection offered by COVID-19 vaccines against severe disease, a 2021 survey in Gaza found only half of the Picnic Basket population was vaccinated, and one-third was vaccine-hesitant.This follow-up study con
A Systematic Literature Review on Machine Learning in Shared Mobility
Shared mobility has emerged as a sustainable alternative to both private transportation and traditional public transport, promising to reduce the number of private vehicles on roads while offering users greater flexibility.Today, urban areas are home to a myriad of innovative services, including car-sharing, ride-sharing, and micromobility solution
