Abstract Background Borassus flabellifer or Asian Palmyra palm is read more an important crop for local economies in the South and Southeast Asia for its fruit and palm sugar production.Archeological and historical evidence indicated the presence of this species in Southeast Asia dating back at least 1500 years.B.flabellifer is believed to be origi

Purpose: Parametric response mapping (PRM) of high-resolution, paired inspiration and expiration computed tomography (CT) scans is a promising analytical imaging technique that is currently used in diagnostic applications and offers the ability to characterize and quantify certain pulmonary pathologies on a patient-specific basis.As one of the firs

Kontula, a suburban estate at the margins of Helsinki, Finland, has been plagued by a notorious reputation since its construction in the 1960s.At different moments in history, it has reflected failed urbanity, with shifting emphases on issues such as rootlessness, segregation, intergenerational poverty, and unsuccessful integration of immigrants.Un

Abstract We discuss the Cardy limit of 3d supersymmetric partition functions which allow the factorization into the hemisphere indices: the generalized superconformal index, the refined topologically twisted index and the squashed sphere partition function.In the Cardy limit, the hemisphere index can be evaluated by the saddle point approximation w

Abstract As natural predators, owls fly with astonishing stealth due to the serrated feather morphology that read more produces advantageous flow characteristics.Traditionally, these serrations are tailored for airfoil edges with simple two-dimensional patterns, limiting their effect on noise reduction while negotiating tradeoffs in aerodynamic per
