Antibiotic resistance threatens to undo many of the advancements of modern medicine. A slow antibiotic development pipeline makes it impossible to outpace bacterial evolution, making alternative strategies essential to combat resistance. In this study, we introduce cyclic antibiotic regimens composed of three drugs or "tripartite loops" to conta ...

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic period, the airborne transmission of viruses has raised widespread concern as daily activities are resumed in public buildings. It is essential to develop mitigation strategies of infection disease transmission (e.g., increase of ventilation rate) in different scenarios to reduce the infection risk. For classrooms in s ...

In the past few years, significant efforts have been made to investigate the transmission of COVID-19. This paper provides a review of the COVID-19 airborne transmission modeling and mitigation strategies. The simulation models here are classified into airborne transmission infectious risk models and numerical approaches for spatiotemporal airborne transm ...

Objective: Beyond objective socioeconomic status (SES) indicators, subjective social status (SSS), an individual's subjective perception of their social standing relative to others, has been independently linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Some studies also report sex differences in the association between SSS and CVD. Thi ...

Antibiotics are increasingly prevalent in global environments, driving antimicrobial resistance and disrupting microbial cycling. These impacts pose threats to human, animal, and environmental health. Therefore, addressing this emergent issue necessitates a One Health framework that integrates these interconnected dimensions. Here we systematically review ...

The use of multiple robots to manufacture composite components represents a critical development direction for fiber placement systems (FPSs). In multi-robotic fiber placement systems (MRFPSs) with heterogeneous mechanical structures, robots collaborate to perform fiber placement tasks. Consequently, robot synchronization emerges as a primary factor in de ...

Family language strategies are approaches that parents adopt for language use with their multilingual children. In bilingual contexts, these strategies influence children's language exposure and development (Macleod et al., 2022). In the more complex context of trilingualism, how families settle on strategies and their relationship with exposure may d ...

In this article, a distributed control strategy using an adaptive sliding mode controller (ASMC) is proposed for a 13-degree-of-freedom (13-DOF) cooperative robotic system in the field of automated fiber placement (AFP). A distributed control structure with event-triggered mechanism is developed to guarantee the desired cooperation performance and reduce ...
