Plants adapt seed traits in response to different environmental triggers, supporting the survival of the next generation.To elucidate the mechanistic understanding of such adaptations it is important to characterize the distributions of seed traits by phenotyping seeds on an individual scale and to correlate these traits with corresponding plant pr
Quantified residence-time distribution (RTD) provides a numerical characterization of mixing in the Vacuum Lid Seal continuous casting tundish-thus allowing the engineer to better understand the metallurgical performance of the reactor.This study describes a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling study for analyzing the flow pattern and the res
Nipah virus (NiV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) possess two surface glycoproteins involved in cellular attachment and membrane fusion, both of which are potential targets for vaccines.The majority of vaccine development is focused on the attachment (G) protein of NiV, which is the immunodominant target.In contrast, the fusion (F) protein of
Tropical cyclone rapid intensification (RI) prediction still remains a big international challenge in numerical weather prediction.Hurricane Matthew (2016) underwent extreme and non-classic RI, intensifying from a Category 1 storm to a Category 5 hurricane within 24 h under a strong vertical shear environment.However, most models failed to capture
Spaceborne bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) employs single-pass cross-track interferometry (XTI) to invert digital elevation models (DEMs) of target areas.However, the accuracy of the inverted DEM is affected by various factors, especially interferometric baseline estimation.To this end, this article proposes an advanced interferometric ba
