Abstract Non-aureus staphylococci (NAS), particularly antimicrobial-resistant NAS, have a substantial impact on human and animal health. In the current study, we investigated (1) the species profiles of NAS isolates coll...

Degraded visual environments (DVE) such as brownout, sand storms, and night conditions are responsible for accidents and hence losses in the aviation industry. There is a need to develop avionic systems to support pilots...

Introduction: Breastfeeding is a holistic experience that fosters nourishment, emotional bonding, and physiological integration between mother and infant. Biophilic design, which integrates natural elements such as dayli...

In a survey of the species of Cladonia occurring in high-altitude environments of Serra do Mar in Southern Brazil, eight species with verticillate podetia were found. Cladonia clathrata and C. imperialis are new records ...

Understanding genotypic variation in wheat under multiple abiotic stresses is critical for sustaining productivity under climate changing scenarios. The study evaluated twenty elite Triticum aestivum L. genotypes, includ...

The work carried out in the thesis describes efficient virtual environments management. One of the main contributions is a middleware scheduling optimization based on Grid environments. Being the overall goal to get an o...

This paper proposes an approach, called Multiobjective Algorithm for Dynamic Environments (MADE), which extendes Fonseca and Fleming's MOGA (with an external archive) so that it can deal with dynamic environments. MADE i...

This thesis describes the design and implementation of a mobile robot which is able to perform a structural interpretation of indoor environments, using only visual and proprioceptive sensory information. The desired beh...

Non-stationary, or dynamic, problems change over time. There exist a variety of forms of dynamism. The concept of dynamic environments in the context of this paper means that the fitness landscape changes during the run...

In this paper, the signal propagation characteristics of urban environments are predicted by modeling important propagation parameters of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network for macrocells. The MOPEM propaga...

The resource utilization level in open laboratories of several universities has been shown to be very low. Our aim is to take advantage of those idle resources for parallel computation without disturbing the local load. ...

The dynamic range limitation is intrinsic to conventional RGB cameras, which reduces global contrast and causes the loss of high-frequency details such as textures and edges in complex, dynamic traffic environments (e.g....

The lesser rhea (family Rheidae) is a flightless large bird of South America, threatened due to habitat loss, hunting and egg collecting, with special concern in Northern Patagonia. Diet and food availability were estima...

Typologies of urban form facilitate the understanding of and communication on complex spatial issues in the context of spatial planning, research and policy. Currently, in Germany they are primarily available at federal ...

Seed-yield stability, frequently associated with drought-tolerance strategies, is one of the main breeding objectives for the development of crops for semi-arid mediterranean-type environments. Since breeding of new indu...

Abstract It is shown that proper representation of transmitting and receiving antennas in indoor environments are decisive for accurate prediction of electromagnetic power transfer parameters using the standard 3D-FDTD m...

The concept of pastoral care to effectively meet the personal, social and academic needs of students is a complex yet under-researched matter in higher education. Similarly, under-researched and institutionally undervalu...

Richness and diversity of parasites depend on a set of interrelated factors related to the characteristics of the host, the environment and the parasites itself. In the City of Buenos Aires, rodent communities vary accor...

Today, only three odontocete (toothed whales) genera are restricted to freshwater habitats: the Amazon River dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), the possibly extinct Yangtze River dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer) (Turvey et al., 200...

The motion planning is a critical component of autonomous navigation, requiring the vehicle to reach a target location safely. Traditional navigation approaches for four-wheel differential drive automated guided vehicles...

Abstract Underwater imaging suffers from various challenges such as color distortion, low contrast, and reduced visibility caused by light attenuation. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving the performance of ...

Hybrid work environments are reshaping how inclusion, leadership and team dynamics function, but existing research remains fragmented, lacking a unified understanding of how inclusive leadership operates in these environ...

Cloud computing environments face persistent structural challenges in cost control, dynamic resource allocation, and security risk management, which traditional infrastructure approaches fail to address adequately. This ...

Abstract In this work, a new method employs Bioinspired Computational (BIC) optimization from the genetic algorithm, bat algorithm, and flower pollination algorithm. Robust and accurate modeling of the input parameters a...
