Polycarpaea corymbosa (L) Lam, is a weed which belongs to Caryophyllaceae family is seen throughout India. It is distributed in tropical Asia and Australia. It is quite common in Gujarat is waste lands and in cultivated fields. It is a small, erect annual herb. Simple or branched woody at base. Stem and branches slender and faintly terete. Pale green in colour and pubescent in younger parts. Le...

Systems theory and pertinent methodologies respond to a need of our time, providing adequate responses to complexities manifest in many domains. Several approaches of the systems movement have developed a strong momentum. System dynamics (SD) has proven to be a particularly potent methodology for helping actors cope with complexities in different fields. Its strengths rest on a mature formalism...

The field of control-oriented system identification is mature. Nevertheless, it is still very active. This is because there are many important unsolved challenges. Of these, this paper considers a selection. This involves considering the estimation of general nonlinear model structures, together with accurate error bounds, using methods that scale well to models of high dimension. A particular ...

One of these important fields is the design and analysis of U...

The new book, Salmon: Biology, Ecological Impacts and Economic Importance, is a collection of scientific reviews in diverse fields of salmonid ecology, morphology, genetics, fisheries, aquaculture, and economic importance of salmon. Twenty-eight authors from seven “salmon-dependent” (a word from Chapter 14 that caught my fancy) countries represent 15 chapters filled with both well-known and new...

Optical materials are undergoing revolutionary transformations driven by nanotechnology. Our ability to engineer structures at a scale smaller than the wavelength of light enables new properties and functionalities otherwise not available in natural bulk optical materials. A class such components—dielectric metasurfaces—employs two-dimensional arrays designer resonant nanoscale elements whose r...

INTRODUCTION Acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in renal-transplant recipients is generally less responsive to conventional antirejection therapy and has a worse prognosis than acute cellular rejection. AREAS COVERED This review provides a broad understanding of the pathogenesis of AMR, recent advances in its therapy, and future directions. Conventional therapeutic approaches to AMR have...

Struma ovarii [SO] is a rare, highly specialised form of mature ovarian teratoma, consisting predominantly of thyroid tissue. Malignant transformation occurs in about 5% of SO [1]. Diagnosis of malignant SO is usually made histologically. The majority of malignant SO show a follicular or papillary pattern of thyroid carcinoma. Conservative ovarian surgery is preferred when there is a concern ab...

Abstract Even though social investment is highly popular, welfare state recalibration remains an uphill battle. When resources are scarce in times of austerity, involves multidimensional trade-offs. Existing research primarily studied preferences toward individual policies or trade-offs specific policy fields, failing to capture citizens’ overall priorities. Using two novel survey experiments t...

Three-dimensional laser scanning technology has been more mature, and its application fields are expanding. It is being used in key projects important work such as ancient building recording, restoration reconstruction. In this paper, the applied to 3D scanning, data splicing model simplification of Heping temple complex Beijing. After innovative research on architecture, it found that group la...
