The information and communication technologies have rapidly been incorporated and expanded in our society.The age in which children and adolescents get access to electronic devices is decreasing.These devices have big advantages, but they can also be inappropriately used to molest and intimidate other children and, as a result, to cause severe psyc
This paper presents a reduced-complexity deterministic annealing (DA) approach for vector quantizer (VQ) design by using soft information processing with simplified assignment measures.Low-complexity distributions are designed to mimic the Gibbs distribution, where the latter is the optimal distribution used in the standard DA method.These low-comp
This study shows results of laboratory coilless quartz atomizer experiments on stored soft white wheat infested with two stored pest species: rice weevil - Sitophilus oryzae (L.), and red flour beetle - Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), treated with different mixtures of Diatomaceus earth (DE) and pyrethrins (Diatect V, Diatect II, Bug-B-Gon, Perma-Gua
Metastasizing cancer cells encounter a multitude of stresses throughout the metastatic cascade.Oxidative stress is known to be a major barrier for metastatic colonization, such that metastasizing cancer cells must rewire their metabolic pathways to increase their antioxidant capacity.NADPH is essential for regeneration of cellular antioxidants and
