Laboratory testing and medication prescription are two of the most important routines in daily clinical practice. Developing an artificial in- telligence system that can automatically make lab test imputations and medication recommendations can save costs on potentially redundant lab tests and...

In order to improve the phosphate adsorption capacity of Ca-loaded biochar under acidic conditions, Ca was loaded as Ca(OH) 2 on the biochar pyrolyzed at 500°C by high-temperature calcination-ultrasonic treatment-stirring impregnation method using tobacco straw and oyster shell as the raw...

A new regulation issued in the end of 2013 as part of the anti-corruption campaign in China leads to a wave of resignation of politically connected independent directors (PCID). I find while firms with PCIDs have negative cumulative abnormal return (CAR) around release of the new regulation,...

Inorganic-organic hybrid coatings prepared via an impregnation assembly of eco-friendly materials exhibited dramatically flame-retardant properties on flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF). A nickel-complex of tea polyphenols (TP-Ni) was synthesized, and TP-Ni and laponite (LAP) were coated on the...

Understanding the effects of fertilization regime on the long-term accumulation, transformation, and bioavailability of phosphorus (P) in soil is essential to promote the development of sustainable management of soil P. Based on 29-year-field experiments in black soil, the compositions and...

Cobalt–nitrogen–carbon (Co–N–C) materials exhibit great potential for H 2 O 2 electrosynthesis through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the encapsulated Co nanoparticles reduce the Faradic efficiency of H 2 O 2 production. Herein, highly dispersed cobalt atoms anchored in...
