This essay presents photos and words illustrating practices of care in homes shared by humans and plants during the COVID-19 pandemic.Drawing Chastity on interviews with plant carers, I highlight how humans (re)discovered plants as kin during forced social isolation.I reflect on how plants provided joy, hope, and reassurance during crisis, enabling
COVID-19 virus proved to be very contagious resulting in a public health emergency by the World Health Organization Espresso Cups (WHO), posing overall public health system and governance challenges.Amid the pandemic period and the unprecedented increase in healthcare demands, pharmacy services are an important mainstay to combat the COVID-19 virus
Grid-side energy storage has become a crucial part of contemporary power systems as a result of the rapid expansion of renewable energy sources and the rising demand for grid stability.This study aims to investigate the rationality of incorporating grid-side energy storage costs into transmission and distribution (T&D) tariffs, evaluating this appr
There has been a long history of using neural networks for combinatorial optimization and constraint satisfaction problems.Symmetric Hopfield networks and similar approaches use steepest descent dynamics, and they always converge to the closest local minimum of the energy landscape.For finding global minima additional parameter-sensitive techniques
The factors that control the distribution and evolution of microbial life in subsurface environments remain enigmatic due to challenges associated with sampling fluids from discrete depth intervals via boreholes while avoiding mixing of fluids.Here, using an inflatable packer system, fracture waters were isolated and collected from three discrete M
