In preparation for the operations of ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover, characterising its landing site in Oxia Planum is essential. Of particular interest extensive Clay-bearing Unit present at site, a key target search biosignatures. this paper we provide map based on variations colour and spectral information within unit, covering 1? envelope rover along with 1 ?km buffer to account minor shif...

background: creating a socket with proper fit is an important factor to ensure the comfort and control of prosthetic devices. several techniques are commonly used to cast transtibial stumps but their effect on stump shape deformation is not well understood. this study compares the dimensions, circumferences and volumes of the positive casts and also the socket comfort between two casting method...

a research program was conducted on different clay-bearing rocks selected from the ilam, sarpol-e zahab and tajarak regions (iran) to predict their slaking characteristics. the new durability apparatus (nested mesh drums) separates disintegrated particles varying from > 25.4 to < 2 mm as the drums were rotated. on the basis of the particle size distribution, the disintegration ratio (dr) was us...

Optimum the cantilever retaining wall design for different soils and dynamic earthquake effects is presented here. In investigation of optimum design-based metaheuristic, harmony search algorithm was considered cases which include five soil two characteristics. Earthquake characteristics mild severe were obtained regarding locations selected from Turkey Risk Map. For local classes, map spectral...

This paper investigates response of triangular shell strip footings situated on the sandy slope. A series of reduced-scale plate load tests were conducted to cover different parameters including three shell footing types with different apex angles in addition to a flat footing, four different distances for strip footings from the crest of the slope namely “edge distance” and reinforcement statu...

Some of the most promising small molecule toxins used to generate antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) include anti-mitotic agents (e.g., auristatin and its derivatives) which are designed to attack cancerous cells at their most vulnerable state during mitosis. We were interested in identifying a human cystostatic protein eventually showing comparable activities and allowing the generation of corres...

The ability of mobile robots to sense, interpret and map their environments in human terms is decisive for their applicability to everyday activities hereafter. Bearing this view in mind, we present here, for the first time, an integrated framework that aims: (i) to introduce a semantic mapping method and (ii) to use this semantic map, as a means to provide a hierarchical navigation solution. T...

The paper describes a visual method for the navigation of autonomous floor-cleaning robots. The method constructs a topological map with metrical information where place nodes are characterized by panoramic images and by particle clouds representing position estimates. Current image and position estimate of the robot are interrelated to landmark images and position estimates stored in the map n...

The Interferometric Point Target Analysis (IPTA) technique and Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) images acquired over Hong Kong from 2007-2008 were used to detect ground deformation in the urban area of Guangzhou city in South China. A ground deformation rate map with scattered distribution of point targets shows the maximum subsidence (rise) rate as high as -26 to -20 mma(-1) (16-21 mma...

in this paper we prove existence the common fixed point with different conditions for $alpha-psi$-contractive mappings. and generalize weakly zamfirescu map in to modified weakly zamfirescu map.
