To address the glare issues caused by highway ETC gantry monitoring and imaging illumination devices, this paper first investigates the mechanism of disability glare and derives the formula for the glare threshold increment.Subsequently, using the glare increment threshold as the evaluation metric and incorporating the current regulatory requiremen
Abstract Background The Drosophila melanogaster genome contains 29 serpin genes, 12 as single transcripts and 17 within 6 gene clusters.Many of these serpins have a conserved "hinge" motif characteristic of active proteinase inhibitors.However, a substantial proportion (42%) lacks this motif and represents non-inhibitory serpin-fold proteins of unk
Abstract Background Organotin compounds (OTCs) have been widely used as stabilizers in the production of plastic, agricultural pesticides, antifoulant plaints and wood preservation.The toxicity of triphenyltin (TPT) compounds was known for their embryotoxic, neurotoxic, genotoxic and immunotoxic effects in mammals.The carcinogenicity of TPT was not
Background.Crimean barbel, Barbus tauricus Kessler, 1877, is a riverine cyprinid fish commonly found in well-oxygenated streams with gravel bottom in the Black and Azov Sea basins.Its population has plummeted in the Salgir, Chornaya, and Alma rivers (Crimea) and hence this fish has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.The knowledge about
The investigation of long-term trends in contentious politics relies heavily on protest kel instruments soil tester event analysis based on newspaper reports.This tends to be problematic in restricted media environments.To mitigate the effects of bias and (self-)censorship, researchers of protest in authoritarian regimes have experimented with othe
