Shepherding, the task of guiding a herd of autonomous individuals in a desired direction, is an essential skill to herd animals, enable crowd control and rescue from danger.Equipping robots with the capability of shepherding would allow performing such tasks with increased efficiency and reduced labour costs.So far, only single-robot or centralized
Background.Promptly discovering and counteracting COVID-19 is critical as it could have catastrophic effects.As an asymptomatic group, children are highly susceptible to be misdiagnosed, especially those suffering from underlying diseases.Furthermore, discriminating the direct effects of the virus from those of the underlying diseases can pose a di
In addition to the extensive gap junction coupling between astrocytes themselves, oligodendrocytes are thought to be exclusively coupled to astrocytes (O:A Lecithin coupling) via heterotypic gap junctions composed of Cx47:Cx43 and Cx32:Cx30.We used fluorescent dyes to examine functional coupling in acute slices from the cerebra of mice lacking Cx32
The mechanism of formation of striae structures in the dust tails of Mid Rise Wide Leg comets is proposed.There are local active areas on the surfaces of comet nucleus.The formation of striae is indebted to the different rate of dust ejection from active areas depending on that they are located on the sunlit or shaded side of the rotating nucleus.T
The behaviour of a transmission channel may be simulated using the performance abilities of current generation multiprocessing hardware, namely, a multicore Central Processing Unit (CPU), a general purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).These were investigated by Cullinan et al.in a recent paper (published
