One mid-sized public flagship institution in the Mountain West was forced to abandon a brand-new marquee orientation and transition program, which had contributed to the first increase in first-time student retention numbers in a decade.As educators around the world were faced with similar challenges, three main concerns arose for this serra avatar
The present study describes an improvement of damping performance of a mechanical tensioner driven by friction force at the power spring interface, used for the timing chain system for an internal combustion here engine.The mechanical tensioner consists of a power spring subjected to face-to-face contact with a reciprocal motion and a leaf spring t
Abstract Background Tumor recurrence and mortality rates remain challenging in cancer patients despite comprehensive treatment.Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy aim to eliminate residual tumor cells, reducing the risk of recurrence.However, drug resistance during neoadjuvant therapy is a significant hurdle.Recent studies suggest a correlat
In laboratory studies of organic aerosol particles reacting with gas-phase oxidants, high concentrations of radicals are often used to study on the timescale of seconds reactions which may be occurring over days or weeks in the troposphere.Implicit in this approach is the assumption that radical concentration and time are interchangeable parameters
Recent carbon neutrality policies have led to active research in the agricultural tractor sector to replace internal combustion engines, making it imperative to minimize power losses to improve efficiency.Dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs) have been employed in agricultural tractors primarily due to their short shift time and smooth shift feel.Howeve
