Habitats In instrumented prescribed fires, the ignition procedure requires much attention.In this paper, we investigate the effects of two ignition procedures on the fire head using a 3D numerical model.The first procedure is to ignite the fire from the edges of the fire line towards the centre of the line.The second procedure consists of igniting
Deep learning has revolutionized image recognition.One significant obstacle still remains, the vulnerability of these models to Heel Balm adversarial attacks.These attacks manipulate images with subtle changes that cause CNN misclassification.While methods, such as adversarial training, have been proposed to defend against adversarial attacks, they
Do private transport services Fairy Wings complement or compete against public transit? As transit agencies scramble to adjust to the new transport landscape of mobility services, this has become an important question.This study focuses on New York’s commuter vans (also known as “dollar vans„), private vans that have operated alon
Abstract Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating forest disease present worldwide.In this study we analyzed the effects of the invasion of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the major pathogen causing PWD, on the endophytic microbiome of adult P.pinaster trees.Wood samples from trees with different degrees of PWD disease were collec
The contributions of cytokines to the development and progression of disease in a mouse model of retrovirus-induced immunodeficiency (MAIDS) are controversial.Some studies have indicated an etiologic role for type 2 cytokines, while others have emphasized the importance of type 1 cytokines.We have used mice deficient in expression of IL-4, IL-10, I
