Covariant four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski

It is generally believed that it is not possible to have a four dimensional differential calculus in κ-Minkowski spacetime, with κ-Poincaré relativistic symmetries, covariant under (κ-deformed) Lorentz transformations. Thus, one usually int...

Phage Genetic Engineering Using CRISPR–Cas Systems

Since their discovery over a decade ago, the class of prokaryotic immune systems known as CRISPR–Cas have afforded a suite of genetic tools that have revolutionized research in model organisms spanning all domains of life. CRISPR-medi...

Additive Injection and Flow Ratio Control Systems

Right-lateral offset associated with the most recent earthquake on the Ikeda fault of the Median Tectonic Line, southwest Japan, revealed by ground-penetrating radar profiling

Abstract The Median Tectonic Line (MTL) is an arc-parallel strike-slip fault that accommodates much of the arc-parallel component of the oblique convergence of the Philippine Sea and Eurasian plates at the Nankai Trough. The MTL in Shikoku ...

SafetyNET/A Wireless Sensor Network for Fire Protection and Emergency Responses

Visionary figures in the field of electrochemistry who revolutionized voltammetry

Understanding energetics and electron behavior has been pivotal in elucidating numerous fundamental phenomena, including electricity, corrosion, respiration, energy generation in biological systems, intermolecular interactions within living...

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display

Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion ...

Scientific approach and practical experience for reconstruction of waste water treatment plants in Russia

Protection of water bodies has a strict dependence on reliable operation of engineering systems and facilities for water supply and sewage. The majority of these plants and stations has been constructed in 1970-1980's in accordance with rul...

Automatic visual inspection system for quality control of the sandwich panel and detecting the dipping and buckling of the surfaces

In this paper, an automated inspection system is proposed for detecting the location and measuring the size of existing dipping or buckling on the sandwich panel surface using an RGB camera and an inexpensive linear laser. The proposed meth...

Towards an information extraction and knowledge formation framework based on Shannon entropy

Information quantity subject is approached in this paperwork, considering the specific domain of nonconforming product management as information source. This work represents a case study. Raw data were gathered from a heavy industrial works...

Review of Supramolecular Oleogel Lubricants

Supramolecular oleogel lubricants construct a three-dimensional network structure within base oils through gelator-mediated non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, and π–π stacking. These materials demonst...

Do China State-Level Economic and Technological Development Zones Have a Positive Effect on Regional Total Factor Productivity? A Perspective Based on the Moderating Effect of Transportation Infrastructure

With the deceleration of China’s economic growth, the crude economic model will progressively diminish in its competitive edge, thereby posing challenges for state-level economic and technological development zones (ETDZs) in terms of trans...

Evaluation of Cooperation Strategy in Financial Services Supply Chain Based on Prospect Theory and Game Theory

Based on the prospect theory, the current research evaluated the cooperation strategy in the financial services supply chain. This research was descriptive in data collection and quantitative in terms of method. The game theory approach in ...
