Point absorbers are extensively employed in wave energy conversion.In this work, we studied the point absorber with the buoy of a vertical cylindrical shape.Wave power absorption is obtained through the relative motion between the buoy poise pads in bulk and an internal mass.Three power-absorption degrees of freedom are investigated, i.e., surge, h
Does Biological Denitrification Inhibition (BDI) in the Field Induce an Increase in Plant Growth and Nutrition in Apium graveolens L. Grown for a Long Period?
Intensive agriculture uses a lot of nitrogen fertilizers to increase crop productivity.These crops are in competition with soil-denitrifying microorganisms that assimilate nitrogen in the form of nitrate and transform it into N2O, a greenhouse gas, or N2.However, certain plant species exude secondary metabolites, called procyanidins, which inhibit

Altered Brain Functional Connectome in Migraine with and without Restless Legs Syndrome: A Resting-State Functional MRI Study
BackgroundMigraine is frequently comorbid with restless legs syndrome (RLS), both displaying functional connectivity (FC) alterations in multiple brain networks, although the neurological basis of this association is unknown.MethodsWe performed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and network-wise analysis of FC in migraine patients
