The transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments represents a significant event in the history of evolution. For this transition to occur, animals had to adapt their morphology, physiology and locomotory skills to handle the challenges and interacti ...
Background The Canadian prairie ecosystem presents a rich source of natural products from plants that are subjected to herbivory by grazing mammals. This type of ecological competition may contribute to the production of natural products of interest in cel ...
The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an important technology for clean power generation in a decarbonized hydrogen system and is notably envisioned for applications in heavy-duty transportation. However, for cost and performance competitivenes ...
In this paper, we study an emerging class of neural networks, the Morphological Neural networks, from some modern perspectives. Our approach utilizes ideas from tropical geometry and mathematical morphology. First, we state the training of a binary morphol ...
We present a study of the dependencies of shear bias on simulation (input) and measured (output) parameters, noise, point-spread function anisotropy, pixel size, and the model bias coming from two different and independent galaxy shape estimators. We used ...
Grayscale electron beam lithography (g-EBL) is a fabrication technique that allows for tunable control of resist topography. In most cases, the height of the structures is in the submicron regime. Here, we present an extensive experimental characterization ...
Malaria is an epidemic health disease and a rapid, accurate diagnosis is necessary for proper intervention. Generally, pathologists visually examine blood stained slides for malaria diagnosis. Nevertheless, this kind of visual inspection is subjective, err ...
Organic functional materials are indispensable components for the last generation of light-energy conversion devices. Photo- and electroactive small organic molecules constitute thin active (emitting, transporting, blocking, injecting etc.) layers of organ ...
Water flooding of cathodic gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells at high current densities or low temperatures limits efficient operation due to disturbed transport of reactants to the catalytic sites or products away into the ...
The mammalian brain, one of the most fascinating systems in nature, is a complex biological structure that has kept scientists busy for over a century. Many of the brain's mysteries have been unraveled due to the enormous efforts of the scientific communit ...
