Microplastics are widespread in the environment and might transport readily by ocean currents, wind and atmospheric deposition.Simultaneously, antibiotics and heavy metals ORTHO BONE VEGAN could often be detected in the environment.They are both positively charged, it is necessary to clarify the interactions of these pollutants with microplastics w

In this paper, the observer design problem Bud Vase for a T-S fuzzy bilinear control system is investigated.First, an observer of Kalman type is designed to estimate the system states for the linear case.Then, some new sufficient conditions are derived to show the exponential convergence of the solutions of the error equation for fuzzy bilinear sys

Abstract Background Ticks are notorious blood-feeding arthropods that can spread a variety of deadly diseases.The salivary gland is an important organ for ticks to feed on blood, and this organ begins to develop rapidly when ixodid ticks suck blood.When these ticks reach a critical weight, the salivary glands stop developing and begin to degenerate
