Abstract The reliability of reinforced concrete (RC) columns in a fire situation is investigated in this paper by combining the General, Equilibrium, and Isotherm at 500 ° C Methods. The well-known ...
Parvibellus atavus gen. et sp. nov. from the Early Cambrian Chengjiang fauna of China is a small fossil having a distinct cephalic region bearing a pair of lateral projections and a circular, ventral ...
Materials for solid-state batteries often exhibit complex chemical compositions, defects, and disorder, making both experimental characterization and direct modeling with first principles methods ...
What do a guitar string and a balloon have in common? They are both floppy unless rigidified by geometric incompatibility. The same kind of rigidity transition in underconstrained materials has more ...
We propose a dual-threshold method based on a strategic combination of RGB and HSV color space for white blood cell (WBC) segmentation. The proposed method consists of three main parts: preprocessing, ...
Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) play an important role in spatial sound localization. The boundary element method (BEM) can be applied to calculate HRTFs from non-contact visual scans. Because ...
Here we report that the genomes of three Prochlorococcus phages collectively contain a number of host-like photosynthetic genes. We further hypothesize from bioinformatic analyses that these genes ...
