Abstract Background Drug injection has been increasing over the past decades all over the world.Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) are two common infections among people who inject drugs (PWID) and more than 60% of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases are PWID.Thus, investigating risk factors associated with drug use transition to inje

Electroporation of zygotes represents a rapid alternative to the elaborate pronuclear injection procedure for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in mice.However, current protocols for electroporation either require the investment in specialized electroporators or corrosive pre-treatment of zygotes which compromises embryo viability.Here, we descri

Acoustic signal contains information on the state of mechanical motion, but the disadvantage of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is that acoustic signal without noise reduction is difficult to apply to fault diagnosis directly.This study proposes an adaptive noise reduction method based on the dislocation superposition method (DSM), which can realiz

This work analyses the interdependent link creation of patent and shareholding links in interfirm networks, and how this dynamics affects the resilience of such networks in the face of cascading failures.Using the Orbis dataset, we construct very large co-patenting and shareholding networks, globally as well as in terms of individual countries.Besi

The present field experiment investigated how alibi witnesses react when confronted with camera footage or identification testimony that incriminates an innocent suspect.Under the pretext of a problem-solving study, pairs of participants (N = 109) and confederates worked on an individual task with a dividing wall obstructing their view of each othe
