A third of all known freshwater mollusk extinctions worldwide have occurred within a single medium-sized American drainage.The Mobile River Basin (MRB) of Alabama, a global hotspot of temperate freshwater biodiversity, was intensively industrialized during the 20(th) century, driving 47 of its 139 endemic mollusk species to extinction.These include

Most COVID-19 cases are mild or asymptomatic and recover well, suggesting that effective immune puffy spa headband responses ensue, which successfully eliminate SARS-CoV-2 viruses.However, a small proportion of patients develop severe COVID-19 with pathological immune responses.This indicates that a strong immune system balanced with anti-inflammat

To fully exploit enormous data generated by intelligent devices in edge computing, edge federated learning (EFL) is envisioned as a promising solution.The distributed collaborative training in EFL deals with delay and privacy issues compared to traditional centralized model training.However, the existence of straggling devices, responding slow to s

We report on turbo air m3f24-1-n orbital angular momentum exchange between sound and matter mediated by a non-dissipative chiral scattering process.An experimental demonstration is made possible by irradiating a three-dimensional printed, spiral-shaped chiral object with an incident ultrasonic beam carrying zero orbital angular momentum.Chiral refr
