Pentatomid bugs communicate using substrate-borne vibrational signals that are transmitted along herbaceous plant stems in the form of bending waves with a regular pattern of minimal and maximal amplitude values with distance. We tested the prediction that amplitude variation is caused by resonance, by measuring amplitude profiles of different vibrational pulses transmitted along the stem of a ...

the paper introducedeffects of modified pyrolysis tar on flue gas desulfurization. this experiment selected the pyrolysis tar as the raw material, researched the effects on desulfurization performance under different modification solution, concentration, solid liquid ratio of pyrolysis tar and modified solution, calcination temperature and calcination time by 16 group orthogonal experiments. th...

Two errors are included in the published manuscript. In the abstract the sentence ‘‘Subsequent genomic analysis demonstrated that an insertional translocation of X chromosomal sequence into theMa Y chromosome generates an extended PAR.’’ Should read ‘‘Subsequent genomic analysis demonstrated that an insertional translocation of X chromosomal sequence into the Y chromosome generates an extended ...

This paper describes the continued development of a dynamic air-traffic model, ATMLG, intended for rapid evaluation of rules and methods to control and optimize transport systems. The underlying data structure is based on the Monotonic Lagrangian Grid (MLG), which is used for sorting and ordering positions and other data needed to describe N moving bodies, and their interactions. In ATMLG, the ...

Signal processing over single-layer graphs has become a mainstream tool owing to its power in revealing obscure underlying structures within data signals. However, many real-life datasets and systems, including those Internet of Things (IoT), are characterized by more complex interactions among distinct entities, which may represent multi-level that harder be captured with graph, can better mul...

The effects of different solvents, temperature conditions, solvent-solid ratios and particle sizes on solid-solvent extraction of the total phenolics, proanthocyanidins and flavonoids herein also referred to as antioxidant from pomegranate marc peel (PMP) was studied. Water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate extraction efficiencies at extraction times of 0.17 to 10 min, extraction t...

The demand for high performance multifunctional wearable devices is more and more pushing towards the development of novel low-cost, soft and flexible sensors with high sensitivity. In the present work, we describe the fabrication process and the properties of new polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foams loaded with multilayer graphene nanoplatelets (MLGs) for application as high sensitive piezoresist...

Restrictions on the use of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated  hydroxyanisole  (BHA) and butylated  hydroxytoluene (BHT) are being imposed  because of  their carcinogecity. In this investigation  optimization  of phenolic extraction  process  frome  methanolic (80%)  extract (v/v) of  elaegnus  angustifolia  through  Response  Surface Methodology  by fulin cio- calteu is  performrd  for op...

Abstract Brazilian potato production is based on cultivars originating from the USA and Europe; however, these were developed under different environmental conditions than those found in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate adaptability stability 18 clones (MLG), by Universidade Federal de Lavras, four six environments state Minas Gerais, following traits evaluated: marketable tuber yi...
