The recent advances in microsensor and semiconductor technology have opened a new field within computer science: the networking of small-sized sensors which are capable of sensing, processing, and communicating. Such wireless sensor networks offer new applications in the areas of habitat and environment monitoring, disaster control and operation, military and intelligence control, object tracki...

Abstract An analysis of the mechanisms that caused storm-time effects during two geomagnetic storms occurred on 17 March 2013 and 2015 is presented. We used Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived Total Electron Content (TEC) data over trough (Addis Ababa, ADIS, $$38.8^\circ$$ 38 . <...

The main processed mRNA encompasses exons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, this last can be in short or long form. In a few cases also exon 1' is retained. In a few cases exons 1 (and 1') are substituted by the alternative exon from a putative upstream minor promoter, as described above. Moreover, a quite high number of processed transcripts that, after exons 1 and 2, retain intron 2, which introduces a...

We study the effects on oscillations in the neutral-Kaon system from lepton and hadron self-energy loops in the W -boson propagators. The corresponding W box diagrams are evaluated by attaching the external quark lines to covariant vertex functions for the composite Kaons, integrating over all off-shell momenta. We find that the ratio of the imaginary and real parts of the amplitude is compatib...

In spite of all efforts to prevent formation of mycotoxins significant contaminations still occur. Contaminated grain or feed ingredients may encounter livestock health problems or poor animal performance because they can have chronic and acute effects on animals. By now, the worldwide most applied method to protect animals against mycotoxin-related diseases and to avoid carryover of mycotoxins...
