Unexploded ordnance (UXO) survey is the foremost task of clearance project.Transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is proved effective for UXO survey.However, it is still difficult for TEM to detect small-size, ultra-shallow and dense UXO targets because the large-size devices and inversion methods for large-scale applications are usually ineffectiv
Sensor fusion is a major field in autonomous mobile robots navigation research.These methods integrate information obtained from accelerometers, rate gyros and monocular cameras to provide pose and orientation of the robot, which are known in the literature as Visual-Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping systems.For outdoor navigation, Hai
Wearable monitoring devices are now a usual commodity in the market, especially for the monitoring of sports and physical activity.However, specialized wearable devices remain an open field for high-risk professionals, such as military personnel, fire and rescue, law enforcement, etc.In this work, a prototype wearable instrument, based on reconfigu
Astragalus polysaccharides (APSs), the compounds extracted from the common herb Astragalus membranaceus, have been extensively studied for their antitumor properties.In this Parchment Paper study, we investigated the effect of APS on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.The effects of APS and the anti-diabetic drug metformin on apoptosis and ferroptosis
The protective effect of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench polysaccharide for Bifidobacterium longum MYL16 from freeze-drying and digestive processes was investigated.Our results indicated after freeze-drying, the log (CFU/g) of B.longum MYL16 without protectant decreased from 10.52 to 4.98, while supplementation of 20% polysaccharide with 20% ski
