Automatic data processing system for integrated cost and schedule control of excavation works in NATM tunnels

A type-based system is widely used for cost and schedule control in the NATM (New Austrian Tunnelling Method) tunnel.This study raises several limitations of the type-based system: a broad level of control, a distributed approach to cost and schedule data, ad hoc management, and difficulty in deriving meaningful data.Integrated cost and schedule co

CRISPR/Cas9-based depletion of 16S ribosomal RNA improves library complexity of single-cell RNA-sequencing in planarians

Abstract Background Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) relies on PCR amplification to retrieve information from vanishingly small amounts of starting material.To selectively enrich mRNA from abundant non-polyadenylated transcripts, poly(A) selection Conditioners is a key step during library preparation.However, some transcripts, such as mitocho

Planning an adaptive reuse development of underutilized urban underground infrastructures: A case study of Qingdao, China

Urban underground infrastructures (UUIs) are a vital Adapters component of built capital for urban sustainability.However, many cities are now home to a multitude of disused or underutilized UUIs, not least aged purpose-built underground facilities, causing a waste of valuable underground space resource assets.In the process of urban renewal, adapt
