Marine litter can end up deposited on sandy beaches and become entangled in the natural wrack, threatening its roles in ecosystems.However, it is currently unknown whether the storage of both artificial and natural accumulations on sandy beaches is correlated.Here, we quantified and compared, by first time, the litter and natural wrack on five sand
Meta-Research: Understudied genes are lost in a leaky pipeline between genome-wide assays and reporting of results
Present-day publications on human genes primarily feature genes that already appeared in many publications prior to completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003.These patterns persist despite the subsequent adoption of high-throughput technologies, which routinely identify novel genes associated with biological processes and disease.Although seve
Performance Evaluation of Multipath TCP Scheduling Algorithms
One of the goals of 5G is to provide enhanced mobile broadband and enable low latency in some use cases.To achieve this aim, the Internet Engineering Task Force has proposed the Multipath TCP by utilizing the feature of dual connectivity in 5G, where a 5G device can be served by two different base stations.However, the path heterogeneity between th
Synthesis, Computational Studies and Preliminary Pharmacological Evaluation of New Arylpiperazines
A series of novel arylpiperazines were synthesized and the target compounds evaluated for atypical antipsychotic activity in apomorphine induced climbing behavior (D2 antagonism), 5-HTP induced head twitches (5-HT2A antagonism) and catalepsy studies in albino mice.The physicochemical similarity of the target compounds with Oracle Cards respect to s
A Rare Complication of Ascariasis: A Case of Acute Interstitial Nephritis
Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) due to helminths is a rare cause of acute kidney injury (AKI).Helminthiases often progresses insidiously, making diagnosis difficult.This was the case of a 72-year-old man, who presented with renal failure, itching and diarrhoea.Urinalysis revealed leukocyturia, microhaematuria and mild proteinuria.A full blood co
