Unlike other, older energy sources, the suitability of materials for storing, distributing, and sealing systems in a hydrogen environment has not been comprehensively studied. Aging, the extended exposure of a material to an environmental condition, with hydrogen causes degradation and damage to materials that differ from other technologies.

A membrane-enclosed pCO sensor and water quality multimeter analyzer was deployed to continuously record daily and seasonal variations in pCO and CO degassing flux in three lakes in Savar, Dhaka. During both wet and dry seasons, all lake water was supersaturated with CO in contrast to the atmospheric equilibrium (~400 μatm).

Those infected with the disease often display various skin symptoms and can spread the infection through contamination. Recently, Machine Learning (ML) has shown potential in image-based diagnoses, such as detecting cancer, identifying tumor cells, and identifying coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 patients.

Furthermore, current screening strategies are not accurate enough to effectively curb the spread of the disease. Therefore, the present study was conducted within a controlled clinical environment to determine eventual detectable variations in the voice of COVID-19 patients, recovered and healthy subjects, and also to determine whether machine learning-based voice assessment (MLVA) can accurately discriminate between them, thus potentially serving as a more effective mass-screening tool.

As social media have become a ubiquitous platform to share users' thoughts, opinions, activities, and preferences with their friends and acquaintances, the shared content across these platforms can be used to diagnose different health problems, including insomnia. Only a few recent studies have examined the prediction of insomnia from Twitter data, and we found research gaps in predicting insomnia from word usage patterns and correlations between users' insomnia and their Big 5 personality traits as derived from social media interactions.
