The conventional tools of decision-making in water resources infrastructure planning have been developed for problems with well-characterized uncertainties and are ill-suited for problems involving climate nonstationarity.In the past 20 years, a predict-then-act-based approach to the incorporation of climate nonstationarity has been widely adopted

Chlamydia is amongst the rare bacteria that lack the critical cell division protein FtsZ.By annotation, Chlamydia also lacks several other essential cell division proteins including the FtsLBQ complex that links the early (e.g.FtsZ) and late (e.g.FtsI/Pbp3) components of the division machinery.Here, we report chlamydial FtsL and FtsQ homologs.Ct271
Small-section hydraulic tunnels are characterized by small spaces and various section forms, under complex environments, which makes it difficult to carry out an inspection by the mobile acquisition equipment.To resolve these problems, an FF CONDITIONER arbitrarily adjustable camera module deployment method and the corresponding automatic image acq
Abstract Background Healthcare associated infections are of significant burden in Australia and globally.Previous estimates in Australia have relied on single-site studies, or combinations thereof, which have suggested the burden of these infections is high in Australia.Here, we estimate the burden of five healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in
