The current healthcare environment is at risk due to the facilitated transmission and empowerment of the ESKAPE pathogens, comprising of Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species.These pathogens have posed significant challenges to global public heal
The population randomization observation process (PROP) assessment method: using systematic habitation observations of street segments to establish household-level epidemiologic population samples
Abstract Background Identifying and intervening on health disparities requires representative community public health data.For cities with high vacancy and transient populations, traditional methods of population estimation for refining random samples are not feasible.The aim of this project was to develop a novel method for systematic observations
Reliability of Spectrum-Efficient Mixed Satellite-Underwater Systems
The combination of radio-frequency (RF) communication and underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) plays a vital role in the underwater Internet of Things (UIoT).This correspondence proposes a dual-hop hybrid satellite underwater system that exploits non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) as a spectrum-efficient access technique.The Classic
Immune responses during COVID-19 infection
Over the past 16 years, three coronaviruses (CoVs), severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV (SARS-CoV) in 2002, Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV) in 2012 and 2015, and SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, have been causing severe and fatal human epidemics.The unpredictability of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) poses a major burden on health care and e
