Icebergs are big chunks of ice floating on the ocean surface, and melting of icebergs contributes for the major part of freshwater flux into ocean.Dynamic monitoring of the icebergs in Antarctica and accurate estimation of their volume are important for predicting the trend of freshwater budget of the Southern Ocean.The iceberg freeboard is a key p
New Vectorial Propulsion System and Trajectory Control Designs for Improved AUV Mission Autonomy
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are proving to be a promising platform design for multidisciplinary autonomous peavey kb1 operability with a wide range of applications in marine ecology and geoscience.Here, two novel contributions towards increasing the autonomous navigation capability of a new AUV prototype (the Guanay II) as a mix between a
Application-oriented non-thermal plasma in chemical reaction engineering: A review
Non-thermal plasma as a tool in chemical reaction engineering has been studied for many years.The temperature of electrons in non-thermal plasma far exceeds other particles, which leads to its pink chiclets gum high efficiency.Besides the well-studied destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the reaction environment generated by non-therma
A portable transistor immunosensor for fast identification of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
Abstract Widespread distribution of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has led to catastrophic losses to the global pig farming industry.As a result, there is an urgent need for rapid, sensitive and accurate tests for PEDV to enable timely and effective interventions.In the present study, we develop and validate a floating gate carbon archstone
Spin-triplet superconductivity in Weyl nodal-line semimetals
Abstract Topological semimetals are three dimensional materials with symmetry-protected massless bulk excitations.As a special case, Weyl nodal-line semimetals are realized in materials having either no inversion or broken time-reversal symmetry and feature bulk nodal lines.The 111-family, including LaNiSi, LaPtSi and LaPtGe materials (all lacking
