The factors that can influence development, growth and agricultural production in quantity and quality are constantly being explored.High-value crops such as potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are good candidates for the adoption of precision agriculture due to their particularly high production costs. …

Most world governments are concerned with waste disposal. The large accumulation of these waste items is causing environmental and monetary issues. According to (Awuchi, 2019), the predicted average daily production of plastic waste is 15.4 billion pieces. Plastic waste is the most prevalent form of …

Background: In hospitalized patients with COVID-19, the dosing and timing of corticosteroids vary widely. Low-dose dexamethasone therapy reduces mortality in patients requiring respiratory support, but it remains unclear how to treat patients when this therapy fails. In critically ill patients, high-dose …

In this study, we assessed to what extent data on the subject of TPPR (transfer, persistence, prevalence, recovery) that are obtained through an older STR typing kit can be used in an activity-level evaluation for a case profiled with a more modern STR kit. Newer kits generally hold more loci and may …

Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by disturbances of awareness, attention, cognitive functions, and behavior.1 It occurs in the severely ill, often older patients2 and is associated with prolonged hospitalization,3 institutionalization, increased costs, long-term cognitive decline, …

Background Fluid therapy is a common intervention in critically ill patients.

The Procurement and Supply of hospital isolation gowns (IGs) pose significant challenges, including the potential for sudden increases in demand, the necessity of maintaining high-quality gowns, and the complexity of the supply process. One potential solution to these challenges is the investment in …

This paper focuses on the use of discrete event simulation (DES) as a decision support tool for airport land use development. As a study case, Querétaro Airport (Mexico) is used, due to its rapid growth and the different services it offers. The SIMIO® software was used to carry out a macro-level simulation …

This research investigates power optimization in Thread mesh wireless networks through an algorithmic approach, aiming to reduce overall power consumption while maintaining reliable network performance. Transmission power serves as a key parameter for achieving energy efficiency, and the study focuses …

Purpose: This study aims to qualitatively examine the relationship between the indoor environmental quality (IEQ), lecturers’ and students’ perceived internal responses and academic performance. Design/methodology/approach: To capture user experiences with the IEQ in classrooms, semi-structured interviews …
