Single atrium with dextrocardia is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect.The affected persons present with varying degrees of cyanosis and respiratory distress.These symptoms could easily be mistaken for pulmonary tuberculosis.We report the case of a 9 year old fully immunized female who presented to our hospital with a history of cough and difficu
Sensitivity enhancement of nonlinear micromechanical sensors using parametric symmetry breaking
Abstract The working mechanism of resonant sensors is based on tracking the frequency shift in the linear vibration range.Contrary to the conventional paradigm, in this paper, we show that by tracking the dramatic frequency shift of the saddle-node bifurcation on the nonlinear parametric isolated branches in response to external forces, we can dram
Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species
Invasive species continue to severely Grinders impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive.In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure.Here, we apply two traditional ecological concepts that inform prey population stability and
Multiple Clustering Guided Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Hyperspectral Unmixing
Spectral unmixing is an important technique for quantitatively analyzing hyperspectral remote sensing images.Recently, constrained nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for spectral unmixing.However, acquiring the problem-dependent prior knowledge and incorporating it into NMF as Wash Tee effective const
Behavior of Uniform Anisotropic Beams of Rectangular Section under Transverse Impact of a Mass
A numerical method is presented to investigate the dynamic response of uniform orthotropic beams subjected to an impact of a mass.Higher order shear deformation and rotary inertia are included in the analysis of the beams.The impactor and laminated composite beam are treated as ALKALINE PITCHER BLUE a system.The nonlinear differential governing equ
