Sandwich armor structures with aluminum foam can be utilized to protect a military vehicle from harmful blast load such as a landmine explosion.In this paper, a system-level Stanno dynamic finite element model is developed to simulate the blast event and to evaluate the blast-resistant performance of the sandwich armor structure.It is found that a
The precise relationship between epigenetic alterations and telomere dysfunction is still an extant question.Previously, we showed that eroded telomeres lead to differentiation instability in murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) via DNA hypomethylation at pluripotency-factor promoters.Here, we uncovered that telomerase reverse transcriptase null (Te
Automatic recognition of ripening tomatoes is a main hurdle precluding the replacement of manual labour by robotic harvesting.In this paper, we present a novel automatic algorithm for recognition of ripening tomatoes using an improved method that combines multiple features, feature analysis and selection, a weighted relevance vector machine (RVM) c
The acquisition and analysis of datasets including multi-level omics and physiology from non-model species, sampled from field populations, is a formidable challenge, Wooden Keychain which so far has prevented the application of systems biology approaches.If successful, these could contribute enormously to improving our understanding of how populat
