Abstract Empty space in germanium (ESG) or germanium-on-nothing (GON) are unique self-assembled germanium structures with multiscale cavities of various morphologies.Due to their simple fabrication process and high-quality crystallinity after self-assembly, they can be applied Baby Soothers in various fields including micro-/nanoelectronics, optoel
A system failure probability analysis method of cohesive slope considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength is proposed.In this method, the local averaging parameter of the random field of undrained shear strength on slip surface is introduced as an equivalent parameter.The statistical characters of the equivalent parameter and t
Abstract Background The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV or Sabin) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs).Methods In 2014, two VDPVs type 2 were identified during routine surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases.Consequently, a retrospective VDPV survey was conducted to ensure that there was no circula
Background.Balantidiasis, due to its rare human incidence and nonspecific clinical presentations often neglected from the diagnosis considerations; however, a potent pathogen.Herein, we report a case of neglected balantidiasis presumed as antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.Case Presentation.A 27-year-old policeman presented in Sindhuli Hospital, with
