GeoTh is a new, simple, efficient, flexible, low-cost experimental laboratory apparatus.These features make it an excellent technological tool for measuring the thermal conductivity of granular materials, e.g., soils, sand, silt, clay or artificial composites.In particular, a configuration based on the one-dimensional heat conduction in candle snuf
We use a stochastic simulation model to explore the effect of reactive intervention strategies during the 2002 dengue outbreak in the small population of Easter Island, Chile.We quantified the effect of interventions on the transmission dynamics and epidemic size as a function of the simulated control intensity levels and the timing of initiation o
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology for recording vibration signals via the optical fibers buried in subsurface conduits.Its relatively easy-to-deploy and high spatial and temporal sampling characteristics make DAS an appealing tool to record seismic wavefields at higher quantity and quality than traditional geophones.Consi
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject type III secreted effectors (T3SEs) directly into host cells to promote pathogen fitness by manipulating host cellular processes.Despite their crucial role in promoting virulence, relatively few T3SEs have well-characterized enzymatic activities or host targets.This is in part due to functional redundancy wi
Object fluffy tangerine clouds tracking can improve the performance of mobile robot especially in populated dynamic environments.A novel joint conditional random field Filter (JCRFF) based on conditional random field with hierarchical structure is proposed for multi-object tracking by abstracting the data associations between objects and measuremen
