Corrosion in the marine environment is a complex and expensive form of damage.It is commonly studied by the deployment of coupons that reflect the marine corrosion a structure will experience, thus allowing design and maintenance prevention strategies to Kitchen Tongs be developed accordingly.This study stems from the lack of information in the lit
Locating potential mates in non-native habitats is one of the most important challenges faced by invasive vertebrate species.The Argentine black and white tegu lizard (Salvator merianae) is a major invasive reptile species in the contiguous United States and is rapidly expanding its range across Florida and the Southeast, in part due to inadequate
Analyzing unstable gait patterns from Electroencephalography (EEG) signals is vital to develop real-time brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to prevent falls and associated injuries.This study investigates the feasibility of classification algorithms to detect walking instability utilizing EEG signals.A 64-channel Brain Vision EEG system was use
Trace metals such as cadmium are found in high concentrations in urban environments.Animal and plant populations living in heavily contaminated environments could adapt to trace metals exposure.A recent study shows that urban populations of the acorn ant Temnothorax nylanderi are more resistant to cadmium than their forest counterparts.However, thi
ABSTRACT Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a significant risk factor for secondary staphylococcal pneumonia in influenza A virus (IAV)-infected hosts.However, little research has been undertaken to define the environmental and physiological changes that cause S.aureus to shift from commensal to pathogenic organism in this setting.The abili
