Tsunamigenic megathrust earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone present a major hazard concern.We can better prepare to model the earthquake source in a rapid manner by imbuing fault geometry constraints based on prior knowledge and by evaluating the capabilities of using existing GNSS sensors.Near-field GNSS waveforms have shown promise in
Factorial Numbers and Their Practical Applications
This paper develops the theory of factorial numbers formed by positional number systems with mixed-base Mini Cards factorial number systems.The fundamentals of the theory of factorial numbers are outlined, a method for obtaining them is given, their range is determined, and noise immunity is assessed.The addition and subtraction operations on facto
Toxoplasma gondii prevalence in carnivorous wild birds in the eastern United States
Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic protozoan parasite that can infect all warm-blooded animals including mammals and birds.Raptors can be intermediate hosts for T.gondii and the infection may be dependent on their feeding habits.In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of T.gondii in ten raptor species from Florida, Pennsylvania, a
Exploiting Thrips Aggregation Pheromones to Develop a Lure-and-Kill Strategy for the Management of the Bean Flower Thrips
The potential of semiochemicals to lure insect pests to a trap where they can be killed with biopesticides has been demonstrated as an eco-friendly pest management alternative.In this study, we tested two recently characterized male-produced aggregation pheromones of the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom), namely (R)-lavandulyl 3-
Characterization and Potential of Coelogyne rochussenii Orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Wildlife Sanctuary as Explant Source
Conservation is an effort to return natural resources to their habitat to restore the ecosystem balance, which can be done in-situ and ex-situ.Coelogyne rochussenii orchid conservation efforts are Air Fresheners essential to maintain its sustainability.The purpose of this study was to characterize C.rochussenii orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit
