In their native habitats of black- and clear-water Neotropical rivers, large predatory cichlids of the genus Cichla are an important food and recreational resource.Understanding patterns of movement for these species is necessary for effective management and conservation; however, no information is available on movement in natural fluvial populatio
New mechanism of spiral wave initiation in a reaction-diffusion-mechanics system.
Spiral wave initiation in the heart muscle is a mechanism for the onset of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.A standard protocol for spiral wave Inlet Valve Retaining Clip initiation is the application of a stimulus in the refractory tail of a propagating excitation wave, a region that we call the "classical vulnerable zone." Previous studies of vulner
Enhancement effects of ethanolic extract of Fagonia cretica on Bisphenol A (BPA)-induced genotoxicity and biochemical changes in rats
Abstract Background Fagonia cretica L.was considered to be a medical plant that was used for the treatment of different diseases, so the current study was designed to clarify whether Fagonia cretica extract (FCE) can avoid Bisphenol A (BPA)-induced genotoxicity and biochemical alterations in rats.Sixty-three male rats were used in this experiment.T
Multi-Scale Deep Neural Network Based on Dilated Convolution for Spacecraft Image Segmentation
In recent years, image segmentation techniques based on deep learning have achieved many applications in remote sensing, medical, and autonomous driving fields.In space exploration, the segmentation of spacecraft objects by monocular images can support space station on-orbit assembly tasks and space target position and attitude estimation tasks, wh
