The Element of Water in the Built Environment on the Precolonial Kenya Coast

Land, 2023
With increasing urbanisation, understanding the variety of historical experience with water in the urban context becomes all the more relevant. Apart from representing an economic and environmental necessity, the physical and sensory access to freshwater

Quantum coherence and entanglement induced by the continuum between distant localized states

, 2011
It is demonstrated that two distant quantum wells separated by a reservoir with a continuous spectrum can possess bound eigenstates embedded in the continuum. These represent a linear superposition of quantum states localized in the wells.

Subband Engineering Even-Denominator Quantum Hall States

, 2010
Proposed even-denominator fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states suggest the possibility of excitations with non-Abelian braid statistics. Recent experiments on wide square quantum wells observe even-denominator FQHE even under electrostatic tilt ...

Well design as a factor contributing to loss of water from the Floridan Aquifer, eastern Clay County, Florida [PDF]

, 1962
A number of wells penetrating the Floridan aquifer in eastern Clay County were found to be losing water to permeable zones above this aquifer. A differential in artesian pressure was observed in closely spaced wells of similar depth.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Standardize Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Wells turbine for wave energy conversion: a review

, 2017
In the past 20 years, the use of wave energy systems has significantly increased, generally depending on the oscillating water column concept. Wells turbine is one of the most efficient oscillating water column technologies.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Expanded specific T cells to hypomutated regions of the SARS-CoV-2 using mRNA electroporated antigen-presenting cells

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused about seven million deaths worldwide. Preventative vaccines have been developed including Spike gp mRNA-based vaccines that provide protection to immunocompetent patients. However, patients with primary immunodeficiencies,

Stark-Effect Scattering in Rough Quantum Wells

, 2011
A scattering mechanism stemming from the Stark-shift of energy levels by electric fields in semiconductor quantum wells is identified. This scattering mechanism feeds off interface roughness and electric fields, and modifies the well known 'sixth-power ...
