The introduction of artificial intelligence in all domains of life is the most transformative process in recent history.It is also a highly dynamic process, and due to the pace of technological development, a very limited legal framework is available to address issues of human rights, ethics, transparency, privacy, safety and accountability.During
A severe outbreak of wildfire across the US Pacific Coast Platinum Smoke during August 2020 led to persistent fire activity through the end of summer.In late September, Fire Weather Outlooks predicted higher than usual fire activity into the winter in parts of California, with concomitant elevated fire danger in the Southeastern US.To help inform t
With the ever-increasing use of nanoparticles in immunosensors, a fundamental study on the effect of epitope density is presented herein, with a small molecule epitope, on the performance of the displacement assay format in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Thiolated bisphenol A (BPA) functionalized gold nanoparticles (cysBPAv-AuNPs) and
ABSTRACT Invasive pathogens interface with the host and its resident microbiota through Accessories interkingdom signaling.The bacterial receptor QseC, which is a membrane-bound histidine sensor kinase, responds to the host stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine and the bacterial signal AI-3, integrating interkingdom signaling at the bioche
This paper aims to cost-effectively improve the energy efficiency of large vessels in shipping by the optimum design of propeller boss cap fins (PBCFs).First, a model propeller of the modern four-blade propeller in a Ro-Ro ship, with no boss cap fin in its original design, is experimentally and numerically investigated.The computational fluid dynam
