Abstract Since the ideal gas equation of state (EOS) was established in 1840, a wide variety of EOS theories have been developed.However, due to the diversity of material structures and the complexity of intermolecular interactions, numerous EOS either have complex forms or have empirical coefficients without physical meaning, which severely limits

This study investigates the changes in West African monsoon features during warm years using the Regional Climate Model version 4.5 (RegCM4.5).The analysis uses 30 years of datasets of rainfall, surface temperature and wind parameters (from 1980 to 2009).We performed a simulation at a spatial resolution of 50 km with the RegCM4.5 model driven by ER

Objective: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococci, GBS) are frequently responsible for sepsis and meningitis seen in the early weeks of life.GBS may cause perinatal infection and premature birth in pregnant women.The aim of this study was to serotype GBS Vitamin D strains isolated from clinical samples and evaluate their serotype distributi

The fact that a protein crystal can serve as a chemical reaction vessel is intrinsically fascinating.That it can produce an electron-dense tetranuclear rhenium cluster compound from a rhenium tricarbonyl tribromo starting compound adds to the fascination.Such a cluster has been synthesized previously in vitro, where it formed under basic conditions

The objective of this research is to explore the temporal importance of community-scale human activity features for rapid assessment of flood impacts.Ultimate flood impact data, such as flood inundation maps and insurance claims, becomes available only weeks and months after the floods have receded.Crisis response managers, however, need near-real-
