MitraClip edge-to-edge (E2E) repair system is the only transcatheter device recommended in the current guidelines for treating mitral regurgitation (MR).The percutaneous femoral venous transseptal access of MitraClip requires a complex steerable delivery system and may thus be technically complex to optimally position and deploy the clip onto the m
Wetland water quality assessment of eco-engineered landscaping practices: a case study of constructed wetland parks in Hangzhou
Urban constructed Salsa water quality treatment (WQT) wetlands are often applied to be integrated with ecological engineered landscaping (EEL) measures for wastewater treatments.This study aims to identify the interrelationships between the hydrological factors and pollutant removal contributions of typical WQT wetlands at each WQT stage, i.e., sub
An intercomparison of tropospheric ozone reanalysis products from CAMS, CAMS interim, TCR-1, and TCR-2
Global tropospheric ozone reanalyses constructed using different state-of-the-art satellite data assimilation systems, prepared as part of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS-iRean and CAMS-Rean) as well as two fully independent reanalyses (TCR-1 and TCR-2, Tropospheric Marvel Chemistry Reanalysis), have been intercompared and evalua
Mutations in the maize zeta-carotene desaturase gene lead to viviparous kernel.
Preharvest sprouting reduces the maize quality and causes a significant yield loss in Extender Spray maize production.vp-wl2 is a Mutator (Mu)-induced viviparous mutant in maize, causing white or pale yellow kernels, dramatically reduced carotenoid and ABA content, and a high level of zeta-carotene accumulation.Here, we reported the cloning of the
Analytical solution of the stress field and plastic zone at the tip of a closed crack
The investigation of stress field and plastic zone distribution at the closed crack tip provides a fundamental basis for failure analysis and life prediction of geotechnical materials.Closed crack is a common crack in geotechnical materials.Studying the distribution of stress field and plastic zone at the tip of closed crack can provide theoretical
