An oscillating buoy (OB) could function simultaneously as a wave energy converter and a breakwater.In this work, a numerical study Ring Terminal is conducted to assess the ability of the buoy to perform both aforementioned tasks by quantitatively and qualitatively assessing its hydrodynamic performance.The computational fluid dynamics solver used f

Abstract Background Patients from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus (LGBTQ +) community face various health inequalities and report poor healthcare experiences.Little is known about how knowledgeable and confident UK doctors are around LGBTQ + health, and previous research demonstrates that UK medical schools rarely deliver teachi

Accessories Knives Selection and breeding of genotypes with improved drought/heat tolerance become key issues in the course of global change with predicted increased frequency of droughts or heat waves.Several morphological and physiological plant traits must be considered.Rooting depth, root branching, nutrient acquisition, mycorrhization, nodulat

Objectives: To describe patterns of nonprescribed use of tranquilizers by students aged 10 to 18 years and assess the sociodemographic characteristics of these adolescents and their use of other substances.Methods: A randomized and stratified sample of 47,979 students from state and private schools of the 27 Brazilian state capitals completed a sel

The Extended Crosswise Model (ECWM) is a randomized response model with neutral response categories, relatively simple instructions, and the availability of a goodness-of-fit test.This paper refines this model with a number sequence randomizer that virtually precludes the possibility to give evasive responses.The motivation for developing this mode
