While people who “prep” for disaster (called preppers) are ridiculed by political elites and their media, their actions are perfectly rational. In this article, economist Mark Thornton explains why prepping for natural disasters makes economic sense.
In order to be closer to their granddaughters, the conception for this house in São Paulo's capital arises from the couple's decision to change their address, having previously resided in the countryside of the state. The wife, a landscape architect, and the husband, an engineer with ties to Mexico, where he spent part of his childhood, aimed to recreate the serenity of their old home, incorporating elements of traditional Mexican architecture into the new residence as a way to evoke nostalgic memories.

When assessing the non-dietary risks for operators, workers, bystanders and residents to active substances in plant protection products (PPPs) that contain stereoisomers, the EFSA guidance on stereoisomers recommends the application of uncertainty factors when the initial ratio of stereoisomers undergoes a significant stereoisomeric excess change of more than 10%. This precautionary approach may be over-conservative in cases where the change in isomers... Читать дальше...

Individuals with lower limb impairment after a stroke or spinal cord injury require rehabilitation, but traditional methods can be challenging for both patients and therapists. Robotic systems have been developed to help; however, they currently cannot detect the continuous gait phase in real time, hindering their effectiveness. To address this limitation, researchers have attempted to develop gait phase detection in general using fuzzy logic algorithms and neural networks. Читать дальше...

Nowadays, electronic computers use a “binary” numbering system, as opposed to “ternary” logic, which is closer to the way the human brain thinks. In this paper, the symmetric ternary system is applied to membrane computing for the first time. By combining the symmetric ternary system with membrane computing, this paper provides a more suitable arithmetic operation method for bio-computers, which breaks through the limitations of the traditional binary system in complex operations...

The development of multi-cropping systems is hampered by the seasonal shortage problem of growing two or three crops within a year. Exploring strategies to alleviate phenological constraints in multi-cropping systems is crucial for increasing grain production. Using a county-level panel dataset with detailed crop progress information from China, this study investigates whether mechanized winter wheat harvest can alleviate the phenological constraints of...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and urinary incontinence (UI) are two prevalent health conditions with significant impacts on individuals’ quality of life. Although they appear distinct in nature, a growing body of evidence suggests a potential interrelationship between these conditions. Our objective was to explore the association between the risk of OSA and the occurrence of UI within a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Utilizing... Читать дальше...
