The rail-wheel interface is fundamental to explain the dynamic running behaviour of a railway vehicle.It must therefore be understood and among the parameters by which it is characterised, the one called "equivalent conicity" plays an essential role since it allows the satisfactory appreciation of the wheel-rail contact on tangent track and on larg
A look back at the first wave of COVID-19 in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis of mortality and health care resource use among severe or critical patients.
BackgroundTo investigate the mortality and health care resource use among patients with severe or critical coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) in the first wave of pandemic in China.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the mortality, discharge rate, length of hospital stay, and use of invasive ventilation in s
Evolution of a microbial nitrilase gene family: a comparative and environmental genomics study
Abstract Background Completed genomes and environmental genomic sequences are bringing a significant contribution to understanding the evolution of gene families, microbial metabolism and community eco-physiology.Here, we used comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses in conjunction with enzymatic data to probe the evolution and functions of a
