The Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita is an endangered species, and recently it was reintroduced in Europe by the Waldrappteam.The reintroduction program has been strongly threatened by several sudden deaths, mainly in Italy.The present study used a forensic approach to analyze all of the 27 Northern Bald Ibises found dead in Italy between 2016
Predicting the ignition probability remains important for designing reliable combustors.A spark ignition model in mixture fraction space is proposed and used in a Large Eddy Simulation (LES)-Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) simulation of initiation of a n-heptane spray swirl flame.The model is based on including source terms for the enthalpy and sp
The rising interest in soft robotics, combined to the increasing applications in the space industry, leads to the development of novel lightweight and deployable robotic systems, that could be easily contained in a relatively small package to be deployed when required.The main challenges for soft robotic systems are the jones hamilton plt low force
In order to accurately analyze the load supply capability of power systems with high penetration of renewable energy generation, this paper proposes a probabilistic available load supply capability (ALSC) forecasting method.Firstly, the optimal input features are selected by calculating the maximal information coefficient (MIC) between the input fe
The standard approach for identifying gene networks is based on experimental perturbations of gene regulatory systems such as gene knock-out experiments, followed by a genome-wide profiling of differential gene expressions.However, this approach is significantly limited in that it is not possible to perturb more than one or two genes simultaneously
