Lithium-ion batteries play an indispensable role, from portable electronic devices to electric vehicles and home storage systems. Even though they are characterized by superior performance than most other technologies, their lifetime is not unlimited has be predicted ensure the economic viability of battery application. Furthermore, optimal system operation, remaining useful (RUL) prediction be...

Abstract Background The life expectancy free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals without previous CVD can be estimated with the LIFEtime-perspective CardioVascular Disease (LIFE-CVD) model, as recommended by 2021 ESC prevention guidelines. Our aim was to systematically recalibrate LIFE-CVD model four European risk regions using contemporary and representative registry data. Methods r...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) consist of mobile nodes which are not controlled by any base station. Mobile nodes act as a major role because of performing the data transmission, route discovery, route maintenance. The packet loss occurs often while the nodes are moving out of range, or the node has not enough either path and link stability or neighbor node stability. In this paper we propose ...

The doomsday argument is a probabilistic argument that claims to predict the total lifetime of the human race. By examining the case of an individual lifetime, I conclude that the argument is fundamentally related to consciousness. I derive a reformulation stating that an infinite conscious lifetime is not possible even in principle. By considering a hypothetical conscious computer, running a n...

OBJECTIVE There is relatively little data on the relationship between lifetime mental disorders and suicidal behaviour in low and middle income countries. This study examines the relationship between lifetime mental disorders, and subsequent suicide ideation, plans, and suicide attempts in South Africa. METHOD A national survey of 4185 South African adults was conducted using the World Health...

The lifetime differences of bottom hadrons are known to be properly explained within the framework of heavy quark effective field the-ory(HQEFT) of QCD via the inverse expansion of the dressed heavy quark mass. In general, the spectrum around the endpoint region is not well behaved due to the invalidity of 1/mQ expansion near the endpoint. The curve fitting method is adopted to treat the endpoi...

To address these deficiencies in the prediction of risk, several investigators have included other markers of risk such as biomarkers related to inflammation, genotypes, or imaging tests with traditional risk factors to improve CHD risk prediction. These analyses have resulted in the creation of novel risk-prediction schemes such as the Reynolds risk score, which added family history and high-s...
