Dam (reservoir)-induced alterations of flow and water temperature regimes can threaten downstream fish habitats and native aquatic ecosystems. Alleviating the negative environmental impacts of dam-reservoir and balancing the multiple purposes of rese...
Graph theory (GT) and complex network theory play an increasingly important role in the design, operation, and management of water distribution networks (WDNs) and these tasks were originally often heavily dependent on hydraulic models. Facing the ge...
Widespread eutrophication has been considered as the most serious environment problems in the world. Given the critical roles of lakes in human society and serious negative effects of water eutrophication on lake ecosystems, it is thus fundamentally ...
Revolutionary advancements in underwater imaging, robotics, and genomic sequencing have reshaped marine exploration. We present and demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach that uses emerging quantitative imaging technologies, an innovative robotic ...
Proton radiograph has been broadly applied in proton radiotherapy which is affected by scattered protons which result in the lower spatial resolution of proton radiographs than that of x-ray images. Traditional image denoising method may lead to the ...
Hydraulic conductivity (Kψ) is one of the most important soil properties that influences water and chemical movement within the soil and is a vital factor in various management practices, like drainage, irrigation, erosion control, and flood protecti...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the prospective association between plain water intake and the risk of hypertension based on a longitudinal cohort study in China.
Soft robots capable of efficiently implementing tasks in fluid-immersed environments hold great promise for diverse applications. However, it remains challenging to achieve robotization that relies on dynamic underwater adhesion and morphing capabili...
Microbial degradation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for removing microcystin-LR (MC-LR). However, the application of free bacteria has limitations due to low operational stability and difficulties in recovery. In a previous ...
This study assessed the influence of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on the quality of diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) using an ice-water phantom. An ice-water phantom with known diffusion properties (true ...
