Abstract Background A 34-year-old gentleman presented with Staphylococcus salivarius infective endocarditis 13 years after aortic homograft and mitral valve repair for degenerative bicuspid aortic valve associated with rheumatic radio birdman tshirt heart disease.The homograft had calcified, and the mitral repair had deteriorated with severe regurg

Zoos and botanical gardens have a special role in the promotion, presentation and conservation of biodiversity in urbanised environments.Additionally, they provide special habitats for alien and invasive species.The formerly used methods of biodiversity assessments (e.g., light trapping, transect counts, etc.) are mostly labour-intensive and/or not

With the recent drive towards higher thermal efficiencies and lower emission levels in the power generation market, advanced cycle power plants have become an increasingly appealing option.Among these systems, humid air turbines have been previously identified as promising candidates to deliver high efficiency and power output with notably low over

The paradigm of the soft set (SS) was pioneered by Moldotsov in 1999 by prefixing the parametrization tool in accustomed sets, which yields general anatomy in decision-making (DM) problems.The q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft set (q-ROFSS) is an induced form of the intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IFSS) and Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS).It is also a m
