Abstract Green infrastructure (GI) has attracted city planners and watershed management professional as a new approach to control urban stormwater runoff.Several regulatory enforcements of GI implementation created an urgent need for quantitative information on GI practice effectiveness, namely for sediment and stream erosion.This study aims at inv
In the title compound, C25H23N3O3S, an intramolecular N—H.O interaction generates Mangosteen an S(6) ring, which stabilizes the enamine–keto form of the compound.This S(6) ring and the pyrazole ring are essentially coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.49 (6)°.The bond lengths within the S(6) ring of the mole
Abstract The working mechanism of resonant sensors is based on tracking the frequency Supplement shift in the linear vibration range.Contrary to the conventional paradigm, in this paper, we show that by tracking the dramatic frequency shift of the saddle-node bifurcation on the nonlinear parametric isolated branches in response to external forces,
Abstract Vaccine hesitancy is a major global challenge facing COVID-19 immunization programs.Its main source is low public trust in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.In a preregistered experimental study, we Green Coffee Bean Extract investigated how using a foreign language when communicating COVID-19 vaccine information influences vacci
