“…This approach contributes to the development of efficient techniques for forest monitoring systems and bears the potential to extend the modelling options from remote sensing data to understory layer trees.…”

The Impact of Vegetation Morphology on Turbulence and Bedload Transport by Zhao, Tian

“…Results of flume experiments using a constant channel average velocity revealed that bedload transport was predominantly correlated with near-bed turbulence, but was also weakly correlated with near-bed velocity. …”

Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”

Functional genetics of cancer and congenital disorders by Zak, J

“…An integrative analysis of cancer genomic data revealed that <em>PPP1R13B</em>, encoding ASPP1, bears many hallmarks of a tumour suppressor gene, despite being mutated at a low absolute frequency. …”

Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…The haze physical and optical properties can however be independently retrieved from VIMS near-infrared spectra at shorter wavelengths in the 0.8-3.5 <em>μ</em>m spectral range. …”

Plasmonic properties of two-dimensional metallic nanoholes fabricated by focused ion beam lithography by Zhu, Shaoli, Zhou, Wei

“…The difference between the design and the experimental results may be caused by the conversion between the near field and the far field. The near field electric field distribution on the surface plasmonic nanoholes was measured by a near-field scanning optical microscope. …”

Loss analysis of a mix-flow turbine with nozzled twin-entry volute at different admissions by Xue, Yingxian, Yang, Mingyang, Martinez-Botas, Ricardo F., Romagnoli, Alessandro, Deng, Kangyao

“…Loss breakdown of turbine shows that loss is higher in nozzle but lower in rotor when the majority of flow is fed from upper part of the component (near shroud). Opposite phenomenon happens when the majority is fed from lower part (near hub). …”
