This work presents a novel bird-shaped broadband piezoelectric energy harvester based on a two-DOF crossed beam for low-frequency environmental vibrations.The harvester features a cantilever mounted on a double-hinged beam, whose rotating motions effectively diminish its natural frequencies.Numerical simulation based on the finite element method is
Many patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) experience physical dysfunction and low overall fitness.It remains unknown what factors drive CLL physical dysfunction.We assessed physical function and metabolic lipoprotein panels in 106 patients with Recliner CLL.In univariate analyses of clinical factors, a longer time since diagnosis was as
Lifelong learning has deeply underpinned the resilience of biological organisms respect to a constantly changing environment.This flexibility has allowed the evolution of parallel-distributed systems able to merge past information with new stimulus for accurate and efficient brain-computation.Nowadays, there is a strong attempt to reproduce such in
Rates of chronic pain and daily opioid use are higher among veterans relative to civilian populations.Increasing physical activity can reduce pain severity and decrease opioid use among patients with chronic pain.Behavioral economic strategies Nappy Pants can improve physical activity levels but have been undertested in veterans with chronic pain.T
Murine typhus is a rarely diagnosed cause of acute febrile illness in Malaysia, and its true disease burden is unknown.We report a case of an Desk Accessories acute murine typhus infection in a patient living in a small city in Peninsular Malaysia, presenting with fever, rash, and headache.Unresponsive to the initial empirical treatment for leptosp
