according to the increased fungi contaminations and related damages, microbiologist's incentive in considering the fungal contaminations in human habitats had increased. some of fungi cause disease through production of toxins in animals as well as humans. since these toxins are not easily distinguishable, then it is crucial to study their characteristics. aspergillus are among the most importa...

Optical satellite images of Earth frequently contain cloud cover and shadows. This requires processing pipelines to recognize the presence, location, features cloud-affected regions. Models that make predictions about ground behind clouds face challenge lacking truth information, i.e., exact state Earth’s surface. Currently, solution is either (i) create pairs from samples acquired at different...

A well known industry application that allows controllable processing times is the manufacturing operations on CNC machines. For each turning operation as an example, there is a nonlinear relationship between the manufacturing cost and its required processing time on a CNC turning machine. If we consider total manufacturing cost (F1) and total weighted completion time (F2) objectives simultaneo...

A magnetic field is successfully utilized to induce the fabrication of size controllable one-dimensional (1-D) supercrystals which are composed of a highly crystalline assembly of fcc-packed cobalt nanoparticles; the anisotropy associated supercrystal magnetism is enhanced with four times higher coercivity than that of randomly aggregated nanoparticles.

An actuator driven by moisture gradients has been developed from a homogeneous graphene oxide film, relying on the in situ formation of a bilayer structure induced by water adsorption. This actuator shows efficient and controllable bending motions, coupled with the capability of lifting objects 8 times heavier than itself.

We describe experiments and theory showing the generation of counterpropagating paired photons with coherence times of about 50 ns and waveforms that are controllable at a rudimentary level. Using cw lasers, electromagnetically induced transparency and cold 87Rb atoms we generate paired photons into opposing single-mode optical fibers at a rate of approximately 12 000 pairs per second.
