Abstract The water immersion through-transmission method is widely used owing to its simplicity and high precision in measuring sound speed. However, when the speed of a compound material whose host medium water, such as hydrogel tissue-mimicking (TMM), reproducibility reliability measurements obtained under state were found be low. To solve this problem, application contact transmission instea...

Map-matching (MM) algorithms integrate the data from positioning sensors (such as GPS) with a digital map in order to identify firstly, the road link on which a vehicle is travelling from a set of candidate links; and secondly, to determine the vehicle’s precise location on that segment. Due to errors in positioning sensors, digital maps and the map-matching process, MM algorithms sometimes fai...

Modifying the structure of surface plasmon resonance based sensors by adding 2D materials has been proven to considerably enhance sensor’s sensitivity in comparison a traditional three layer configuration. Moreover, thin semiconductor film placed on top metallic and stacked together with enhances even more sensitivity, but at cost worsening plasmonic couplic strength (minimum level reflectivity...

Stomata regulate gas exchange and are distributed across the leaf epidermis with characteristic spacing. Arabidopsis stomata are produced by asymmetric cell divisions. Mutations in the gene TOO MANY MOUTHS (TMM) disrupt patterning by randomizing the plane of formative asymmetric divisions and by permitting ectopic divisions. TMM encodes a leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor-like protein exp...

Tumor-to-meningioma metastasis (TMM) is a fairly uncommon phenomenon. Only 7 cases of prostate cancer with TMM have previously been described in the literature. The present study aimed to report a case of prostate cancer TMM, and to discuss the relevant clinical and neuroimaging aspects of this condition. A 68-year-old patient presented with headaches, poor visual acuity in the left eye and ips...

Team mental models (TMMs) have received much attention as important drivers of effective team processes and performance. Less is known about the factors that give rise to these shared cognitive structures. We examined potential antecedents of TMMs, with a specific focus on team composition variables, including various facets of personality and surface-level diversity. Further, we examined impli...

Trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) are widespread in the ocean and are important nitrogen source for bacteria. TMA monooxygenase (Tmm), a bacterial flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO), is found widespread in marine bacteria and is responsible for converting TMA to TMAO. However, the molecular mechanism of TMA oxygenation by Tmm has not been explained. Here, we determined t...
