Change detection is the process by which objects are detected by comparing current acoustic measurements with historical ones. This method is often the only viable option of detecting targets when the size and shape of the object is unknown, or when the clutter density is very high, causing a prohibitive number of false alarms. This paper presents a method and results for automatically performi...

L-Ascorbic acid (AsA) accumulates in pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings during germination, with the most rapid phase of accumulation coinciding with radicle emergence. Monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbic acid reductase were active in the embryonic axes before AsA accumulation started, whereas AsA oxidase and AsA peroxidase activities increased in parallel with AsA. Excised embryon...

Ascorbate (vitamin C) is essential for cell metabolism, and its supply to the human diet derives basically from the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Several biosynthetic pathways of ascorbate have been reported in plants, the major physiological one being the so-called Smirnoff-Wheeler pathway. Ascorbate is a powerful antioxidant in plants, although it also plays an important role in hormo...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the Knoop hardness number (KHN) of methacrylate (MC) and silorane (SC) composites after being submitted to erosion and abrasion processes. Material and methods: Forty samples were made with each composite: MC and SC. The samples were divided into eight groups (n = 10) according to the type of composite (G1-G4, MC; G5-G8, SC) and the beverages inv...

Most discoveries of cancer biomarkers involve construction of a single model to determine predictions of survival.. 'Data-mining' techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), perform better than traditional methods, such as logistic regression. In this study, the quality of multiple predictive models built on a molecular data set for colorectal cancer (CRC) was evaluated. Predictive m...

This paper explores market efficiency in the Ukrainian stock to determine whether there are differences between traditional and ESG indices. Different data properties related explored: persistence (R/S analysis is used for these purposes), stationarity (ADF tests), normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnoff, Anderson-Darling test, etc.), resistance anomalies (Day of week effect, abnormal returns patterns t...

Closed coil spring is an additional tool in a fixed-orthodontic treatment. NiTi orthodontic alloy that has shape memory and elasticity features, while stainless steel properties of malleability, low friction between wire-bracket, as well easy soldering welding. Various closed springs have been widely studied, but research on the stretching time remains unclear. This study aimed to determine eff...

Landslide susceptibility models are fundamental components of landslide risk management strategies. These typically assume that occurrence is time-independent, even though processes including earthquake preconditioning and path dependency transiently impact occurrence. Understanding the temporal characteristics remains limited by a lack systematic investigation into how distributions vary throu...
