Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) contributes significantly to COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. The urokinase receptor system is involved in the regulation of coagulation. Levels soluble plasminogen activator (suPAR) reflect hyperinflammation are strongly predictive outcomes COVID-19. Whether suPAR levels identify patients with at risk for VTE unclear. Methods Results We leveraged a multinational observational study hospitalized D-dimer measured on admission. In 1960 (mean age, 58...
Abstract Drilling operations generate CO2 emissions from diesel fuel used to power generators and other equipment on drilling rigs as extraction activities create around 10-15% of total energy-related globally, an equivalent 5 billion tonnes greenhouse gas emissions. Improving operational efficiency is crucial for reducing overall combating climate change. Therefore, recognizing more efficient approaches solutions with reduced carbon footprints essential in creating future business...
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals’ (UN SDGs) action call promotes worldwide social, environmental, and economic prosperity. Each country developed a local plan to achieve the SDGs’ objectives targets. UN presents an annual global SDG progress report, based on international indicator framework regional available data. Wetland ecosystems contribute SDGs; however, more research is required evaluate wetlands’ impact sustainable development. This study investigates how implementing...
Oil spills are a very dangerous occurrence for the marine ecosystem as life-form's existence gets unnecessarily threatened. Since exploration of oil from resources has become must and end up occurring accidentally, result, it becomes important to employ various spill cleanup methods.

This presents models for an rotary controlled by a self-tuning, multivariant controller that uses machine...
Abstract Drilling is one of the most crucial operations due to its economic implications for hydrocarbon exploration and production. Optimizing a drill-bit design process parameters can enhance rate penetration well integrity, leading more efficient drilling operations. Nevertheless, certain operating downhole conditions aggravate working drill bit. When drillbit properties cannot withstand these conditions, it results in wear failure. This paper presents application forensic analysis...
