To evaluate the shared genetic etiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease (CHD), we conducted a genome-wide, multi-ancestry study of genetic variation for both diseases in up to 265,678 subjects for T2D and 260,365 subjects for CHD. We identify 16 previously unreported loci for T2D...

Bangladesh is in the floodplains of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna River delta, crisscrossed by an intricate web of rivers. Although the country is highly prone to flooding, the use of state-of-the-art deep learning models in predicting river water levels to aid flood forecasting is underexplor...

Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) are well accepted by the researchers to reduce the temperature fluctuation and also the cooling load of a building. Sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na 2 SO 4 .10H 2 O) is used as PCM and incorporated in the traditional building wall in a prototype building model. T...
