Nevertheless, certain viruses can be our “friends.” At the end of the 18th century, Edward Jenner used cowpox to protect humans against infection with a lethal pathogen, smallpox. Based on the effectiveness of this “vaccination” process, in the 19...
متن کاملData Fusion of FLIR and LADAR in Autonomous Weapons Systems
We use data fusion in our automatic target recognition (ATR) system to identify and track airbourne objects. The fusion process allows for a much more robust conclusion to be drawn from what may well be incomplete data. The method we use for the fusion process is twofold. The Transferable belief model (TBM), which is derived from Dempster Shafer Theory (DST) is used for matching type and Kalman...
متن کاملEssential Oils and Future Antibiotics: New Weapons against Emerging ‘Superbugs’?
Antibiotic resistance is emerging at an alarming rate, outpacing current research and development efforts to combat this trend. As a result, many infectious diseases have become difficult to treat; in some cases, no treatment options exist. The search for new antibiotics must accelerate to avoid returning to the ‘pre-antibiotic’ era. Ancient remedies, including essential oils and their componen...
