Pacemaker activity of automatic cardiac myocytes controls the heartbeat in everyday life.Cardiac automaticity is under the control of several neurotransmitters and hormones and is constantly regulated by the autonomic nervous system to match the physiological needs of the organism.Several classes of ion channels and proteins involved in intracellul
This paper examines the predictability Horn Tweeter of a range of international stock markets where we allow the presence of both local and global predictive factors.Recent research has argued that US returns have predictive power for international stock returns.We expand this line of research, following work on market integration, to include a mor

Triaxial seepage tests were conducted on the core-wall clay of a Car Coaster high rock-fill dam to investigate the change of hydraulic conductivity with axial strain.It was found that the compaction density and confining pressure were the two main factors influencing the change of hydraulic conductivity during triaxial compression.When the current
Background: Leachate-induced clogging in landfill drainage systems significantly impairs operational efficiency while posing substantial environmental risks.The complex interactions among leachate components (e.g., organic matter, heavy metals, and inorganic salts), microbial communities, and inorganic precipitates lead to clogging that reduces hyd
