The present study features the estimation of number of generations of tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura.Fab.on peanut crop at six locations in India using MarkSim, which provides General Circulation Model (GCM) of future data on daily maximum (T.max), minimum (T.min) air temperatures from six models viz., BCCR-BCM2.0, CNRM-CM3, CSIRO-Mk3.5, EC
Geostructural and Geomechanical Study of the Piastrone Quarry (Seravezza, Italy) Supported by Photogrammetry to Assess Failure Mode
The use of non-contact-techniques for rock mass characterization has been growing significantly over the last decade.However, their application to stability assessment of ornamental stone has not yet received much attention from researchers.This study utilizes rock mass data both in terms of slope orientations and degree of fracturing obtained from
A Frequency and Polarization Agile Disc Monopole Wearable Antenna for Medical Applications
A combined frequency and polarization reconfigurable textile based wearable disc monopole antenna is proposed in this paper.The huge-dildos antenna consists of a disc monopole as the radiator and four PIN diodes for realizing the agility property.By varying the different switching combination of the PIN diodes, frequency reconfigurability is achiev
Image-based computational hemodynamic analysis of an anterior communicating aneurysm treated with the Woven EndoBridge device
Background: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) aneurysm embolization device is a relatively recent developed intrasaccular flow disruptor committed to intracranial wide-neck and complex aneurysm occlusion.In this study, we aimed to assess hemodynamic profiles of an AcomA aneurysm treated with WEB Single Layer (WEB-SL) to shed light on the understanding of
Maternity service organisational interventions that aim to reduce caesarean section: a systematic review and meta-analyses
Abstract Background Caesarean sections (CSs) are associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity, yet rates continue to increase within most countries.Effective interventions are required to reduce the number of non-medically indicated CSs and improve outcomes for women and infants.This paper reports findings of a systematic review of li
