SOIL ORGANIC MATTER IN FIRE-AFFECTED PASTURES AND IN AN ARAUCARIA FOREST IN SOUTH-BRAZILIAN LEPTOSOLS


Improved ensemble local mean decomposition based on cubic trigonometric cardinal spline interpolation and its application for rotating machinery fault diagnosis

Ensemble local mean decomposition has been gradually introduced into mechanical vibration signal processing due to its excellent performance in electroencephalogram signal analysis.However, an unsatisfactory problem is that ensemble local mean decomposition cannot effectively process vibration signals of complex mechanical system due to the constra

Droplet microarrays for cell culture: effect of surface properties and nanoliter culture volume on global transcriptomic landscape

The development of novel chemically developed and physically defined surfaces and environments for cell culture and screening is important for various biological applications.The Droplet microarray (DMA) platform based on hydrophilic-superhydrophobic patterning enables high-throughput cellular screening in nanoliter volumes and on various biocompat

In Vivo Genotoxicity and Toxicity Assessment of Sterigmatocystin Individually and in Mixture with Aflatoxin B1

Mycotoxins are natural food and feed contaminants produced by several molds.The primary mode of exposure in humans and animals is through mixtures.Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and sterigmatocystin (STER) are structurally related mycotoxins that share the same biosynthetic route.Few in vivo genotoxicity assays have been performed with STER.In the present gen

A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR GEOSPATIAL SITE SELECTION USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS AS DECISION RULES: A CASE STUDY ON LANDFILL SITES

This paper briefly introduced the theory and framework of geospatial site selection (GSS) and discussed the application and framework of artificial neural networks (ANNs).The related literature on the use of ANNs as decision rules in GSS is scarce from Paint Marker 2000 till 2015.As this study found, ANNs are not only adaptable to dynamic changes b
