The wave glider is an ocean-wave-propelled autonomous marine vehicle with unique dual-body architecture, which can converse the energy obtained from the ocean wave into the forward thrust.In this paper, the dynamic models of the bostik roll-cote submerged glider based on dynamic characteristics of tandem hydrofoils and the surface float were separa
Animal models should display important characteristics of the human disease.Sheep have been considered particularly useful to study allergic airway responses to common natural antigens causing human asthma.A rationale of this study was to establish a model of ovine precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) for the in vitro measurement of airway responses in
Scatter hoarding of seeds by animals contributes significantly to forest-level processes, including plant recruitment and forest community composition.However, the potential positive and negative effects of caching on seed survival, germination success, and seedling survival have rarely been assessed through experimental studies.Here, I tested the
This paper first integrates big data tools—Hive, Impala, and SparkSQL—which support SQL-like queries for rapid data retrieval in big data.The three introduced tools are not only suitable for operating in business intelligence to serve high-performance data retrieval, but they are also an open-source software solution with low cost for s
Abstract The topology of the network 15-eg1053cl of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events.In particular, as the network structure is gradually tuned from regular to completely random a transition occurs from the loc
