Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment, but limited studies focused on the association of socioeconomic status (SES) with hearing loss among adults of working age.This paper aimed to fill this gap among Chinese adults.We obtained data from Ear and Hearing Disorder Survey conducted in four provinces of China in 2014-2015.The survey was b
Solar updraft towers (SUTs) are used for renewable power generation, taking advantage of the thermal updraft air flow caused by solar energy.Aerodynamic devices have been applied to SUTs to improve their performance and the baffle is one such device.Here, we investigate the effect of baffle installation on the thermo-fluid dynamic phenomena in the
Bacterial soft rot caused by coinfection with Dickeya spp.and Pectobacterium spp.in hosts can cause successive changes in fields, and it is difficult to prevent the spread of and control the Mulr Tape Halters infection.Pectobacterium spp.are prevalent in the growing areas of tuberous crops, including taro and potato.Recently, Dickeya fangzhongdai h
Mean-field approximations are a powerful tool for studying large Apron neural networks.However, they do not describe well the behavior of networks composed of a small number of neurons.In this case, major differences between the mean-field approximation and the real behavior of the network can arise.Yet, many interesting problems in neuroscience in
