The next frontier of maritime networking will see the deployment of large-scale buoy-based mesh networks, with an equal emphasis on both high-speed data transfer and energy-efficiency.One such challenging application is the operation of maritime seismic surveys for oil/gas exploration and academic studies.Large amounts of seismic data are generated
The relative contribution of extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms to cortical development is an intensely debated issue and an outstanding question in neurobiology.Currently, the emerging view is that interplay between intrinsic genetic mechanisms and extrinsic information shape different stages of cortical development.Yet, whereas the intrinsic prog
Anthropogenic challenges, particularly climate change-associated factors, are strongly impacting the behavior, distribution, and survival of insects.Yet how these changes affect pests such la rams crop top as Drosophila suzukii, a cosmopolitan pest of soft-skinned small fruits, remains poorly understood.This polyphagous pest is chill-susceptible, w
The effect of natural ventilation on yearly transmission load and optimum insulation thickness of different orientation external walls is studied in this paper.In addition, the effects of insulation location and life-cycle cost analysis (LCC) model on optimum insulation thickness are also investigated.The research is performed for four cities in ho
This article contains a kinematic analysis of an aircraft chassis mechanism in a range of positions.The mechanism of the chassis is made up of several smaller subsystems with different functions.The first mechanism is used to eject the chassis before landing (touchdown) and fold it to hatchway after the lift off.The second mechanism is designed to
