The process of micro crack formation in sandstone subjected to freeze-thaw cycles is pivotal for strip mine in cold regions.A discrete element numerical model considering the variation of frost heave force and water saturation during Repellents Indoor the freeze-thaw cycles is established by PFC3D in this paper.The results indicate that: (1) During
A Novel Vital-Sign Sensing Algorithm for Multiple Subjects Based on 24-GHz FMCW Doppler Radar
A novel non-contact vital-sign sensing algorithm for use in cases of multiple subjects is proposed.The approach uses a 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave Doppler radar Keyboards with the parametric spectral estimation method.Doppler processing and spectral estimation are concurrently implemented to detect vital signs from more than one subj
Century-scale simulations of the response of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to a warming climate
We use the BISICLES adaptive mesh ice sheet model to carry out one, two, and three century simulations of the fast-flowing ice streams of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, deploying sub-kilometer resolution around the grounding line since coarser resolution results in substantial underestimation of the response.Each of the simulations begins with a geo
Identification of Somatic Genetic Alterations Using Whole-Exome Sequencing of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Tumors
BackgroundThe genomic abnormalities associated with uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) have not been fully elucidated to date.ObjectiveTo understand the pathogenesis of uLMS and to identify driver mutations and potential therapeutic targets in uLMS.MethodsThree matched tumor-constitutional DNA pairs from patients with recurrent uLMS were subjected to wh
Elderly consumers existent or not?: Portrayal of consumers 65+ in print ads in Serbia
The paper aims at opening a discussion on representation of elderly consumers in advertising messages in Recycle-Appliance local markets.It builds upon previous studies in the US and Western Europe, tackling the issues of advertising addressed to elderly consumers.Theoretical background is rooted in socio-psychological theories of aging and adverti
