Prior researches suggest that there are either positive or negative effect of E&C on new venture
performance (NVP). To reconcile the conflicting view, this study proposes the nonlinear …

High myopia is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Myopia progression may lead to
pathological changes of lens and affect the outcome of lens surgery, but the underlying …

A chemical reaction mechanism has been developed for modeling the combustion process

Using a combined zero-valent iron (ZVI) and anaerobic sludge system as the platform, the
hydrogen utilization and reductive mechanism of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-ClNB) were …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia among the elderly, and more frequently
occur in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) …
