The conservation of the endangered Backsplash Kit Korean fir, Abies koreana, is of critical ecological importance.In our previous study, a yeast-like fungus identified as Aureobasidium pullulans AK10, was isolated and shown to enhance drought tolerance in A.koreana seedlings.In this study, the effectiveness of Au.pullulans AK10 treatment in enhanci

Multi-robot task allocation is one of the main problems to address in order to design a multi-robot system, very especially when robots form coalitions that must carry out tasks before a deadline.A lot of factors affect the performance of these systems and among them, this paper is focused on the physical interference effect, produced when two or m

ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to productYype obtain the first estimates of survival rates (S), capture probability (p) and life expectancy for armadillos in South America by analyzing capture-mark-recapture data obtained from a population of Chaetophractus vellerosus (Gray, 1865) located in Magdalena, Buenos Aires, Argentina.From June 2006 to J

Abstract Optical fiber sensors have gained significant attention in recent years owing to their remarkable advantages of remote operation and rapid response.The integration of optical fiber sensing with the microfluidics technology has paved the way for the establishment of optical fiber optofluidic sensing.Optical fiber optofluidic systems possess

Summary: The objective of this study is to develop a device to mimic a microfluidic system of human arterial blood vessels.The device combines fluid shear Cat Food-Raw stress (FSS) and cyclic stretch (CS), which are resulting from blood flow and blood pressure, respectively.The device can reveal real-time observation of dynamic morphological change
