High-quality and long-term surface soil moisture (SSM) and root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) data are critical for agricultural water management of Jiangsu province, which is a major agricultural province in China. However, few studies assessed the accuracy of SSM and RZSM datasets in croplands of Jiangsu province. The study addressed this gap by firs...

The increase in traffic in cities world-wide has led to a need for better traffic management systems in urban networks. Despite the advances in technology for traffic data collection, the collected data are still suffering from significant issues, such as missing data, hence the need for data imputation methods. This paper explores the spatiotempor...
Over the past decade, several global maps of above-ground biomass (AGB) have been produced, but they exhibit significant differences that reduce their value for climate and carbon cycle modelling, and also for national estimates of forest carbon stocks and their changes. The number of such maps is anticipated to increase because of new satellite mi...
Decreasing voltage levels and continued transistor scaling have drastically increased the chance of a processor bit encountering a soft error. We find that the microarchitecture state in an out-of-order core is vulnerable to soft errors especially while waiting for data to return from memory. The severity of the problem is further aggravated by the...

Background: Late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) is a rare autosomal dominant retinal dystrophy related to C1QTNF5 gene variants.Materials and methods: Twenty-six patients (21-81 years) with L-ORD due to c.562C>A p.(Pro188Thr) with a mean follow-up time of 8 years (range 1-37 years) underwent an extensive ophthalmic work-up.Results: Best-correct...
CONTEXT.—: Errors in laboratory medicine could compromise patient safety. Good laboratory practice includes identifying and managing nonconformities in the total test process. Varying error percentages have been described in other fields but are lacking for molecular oncology. OBJECTIVES.—: To gain insight into incident causes and frequency in the ...
Background: Correct inhaler use can be challenging in real life, with incorrect use resulting in poor symptom control. The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with poor inhaler technique and poor therapy adherence among patients with obstructive lung disease in community pharmacies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in ...
