Objective: Systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses, the pinnacle of the evidence pyramid, embody comprehensiveness and rigor; however, retracted data are being incorporated into these publications.This study examines the use of retracted publications in the field of pharmacy, describes characteristics of retracted publications cited by syst
Abstract Background Plating methods are still the golden standard in microbiology; however, some studies have shown that these techniques can underestimate the microbial concentrations and diversity.A nutrient shock is one of the mechanisms proposed to explain this phenomenon.In this study, a tentative method to assess nutrient shock effects was te
Soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are an important driver of climate change and are a major mechanism of labile nitrogen (N) loss from terrestrial ecosystems.Evidence increasingly suggests that locations on the landscape that experience biogeochemical fluxes disproportionate to the surrounding matrix (hot spots) and time periods that show dispropo
Trapped ions (TIs) are at the forefront of quantum computing implementation, offering unparalleled coherence, fidelity, and connectivity.However, the scalability of TI systems is hampered by the limited capacity of individual ion traps, necessitating intricate ion shuttling for advanced computational tasks.The quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) f
The outliers caused by noise and mismatching severely restrict the precision of visual odometry.Moreover, the dynamic environment is also a crucial element that decreases the robustness of the systems.This paper presents a robust stereo visual odometry by decoupled ego-motion estimation based on probabilistic matches and rejecting the outliers of d
