The Segre-Gimigliano-Harbourne-Hirschowitz Conjecture can be naturally formulated for Hirzebruch surfaces Fn. We show that this Conjecture holds for imposed base points of equal multiplicity bounded by 8. 1. Linear systems on Hirzebruch surfaces Our goal is to prove Conjecture 4 for linear systems on Hirzebruch surfaces with imposed base points of equal multiplicity bounded by 8. This Conjectur...

Amidst booming scholarship on alternative food networks (AFNs) in the global North, research on AFN in the global South remains scarce. Partly this is because explicitly alternative initiatives are themselves scarce, except for those focused on export markets. Yet in countries such as Kenya, urban consumers and rural smallholders have good reason to want alternatives to agrichemical dependency,...

We discovered a new class of nontoxic, highly fluorogenic and biocompatible probe AFN for selective staining of intracellular Lipid Droplets (LDs) in both fixed and live human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes without any background artifacts. The salient features of the probe are its visible excitation maximum, aqueous compatibility, selectivity and remarkable stability (f...

Recent advances suggest that deep learning has been widely used to detect smoke for early forest fire warnings. Despite its remarkable success, this approach a number of problems in real life application. Deep neural networks only learn and abstract representations, while ignoring shallow detailed representations. In addition, previous models have trained on source domains but generalized weakl...

Loneliness is broadly described as a negative emotional response resulting from the differences between the actual and desired social relations of an individual, which is related to the neural responses in connection with social and emotional stimuli. Prior research has discovered that some neural regions play a role in loneliness. However, little is known about the differences among individual...

Wireless sensor networks are becoming increasingly important in recent years due to their ability to detect and convey real-time in-situ scenes for many civil and military applications. A major technical challenge for a wireless sensor network lies in the energy constraint at each node, which poses a fundamental limit on the network lifetime. We consider two-tiered wireless sensor networks and ...

cyanide ion, is an environmentally significant pollutant in many industrial wastewaters.therefore, a considerable number of methods have been studied for the wastewater treatment containingcyanide. the goal of our work consists in applying a simple and economic process for solving this problem ofpollution. the removal of cyanide ions by using three anion exchange membranes has been studied unde...

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic and humanitarian challenges such as war conflict, climate changes, economic crises bring unexpected challenges, food insecurity. Especially for developing countries, this is a double crisis, poverty pandemic. This situation needs an alternative network (AFN), which can improve the local sources to fulfill demand. hubs’ (LFHs) development AFN that considers produce...

Alternative food networks (AFNs) are an alternative to the conventional system that aim for environmental and social sustainability from production consumption. While previous research has examined individual types of AFNs, there is no survey giving a full overview different AFNs in Japan. Therefore, we fifty-six cases categorized them according their characteristics. Firstly, using Multi-actor...
