Abstract Background Using isotope mixing models, researchers can estimate the proportionate contributions of the components TROUSERS URBAN COTTON within a mixture to infer their sources, which is a significant method in fields such as ecology, environmental science, and geography.However, existing isotope mixing model applications suffer from large

Cross-domain access control can improves interoperability but reduces intra-domain autonomy.To balance inter-domain interoperability and intra-domain autonomy,a cross-domain access control policy mapping to the problem of multi-objective integer optimization programming was formulated.Both the maximization of inter-domain interoperability and the P

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most prevalent symptomatic primary immunodeficiency and BLOND STUDIO 7 comprises a group of disorders with similar antibody deficiency but a myriad of different etiologies, most of which remain undefined.The variable aspect of CVID refers to the approximately half of patients who develop non-infectious

When the collapse column and its adjacent rocks in complex geological structures are disturbed by mining, concomitant fine particle migration, mass loss, and porous structure variation during the water seepage process in broken rocks are the inherent causes for collapse column activation and water inrush.Studying the time-varying characteristics of
