Abstract Selecting appropriate defensive behaviours for threats approaching the space surrounding the body (peripersonal space, PPS) is crucial for survival.The extent of defensive PPS is measured by recording the hand-blink reflex (HBR), a subcortical defensive response.Higher-order cortical areas involved in PPS representation exert top-down modu
It is a well-known fact that the relative humidity of air may have English Longbow an influence on the build-up of static electricity on equipment, installations, packages, personnel, etc.However the questions arise whether in industrial practice the increase of the relative humidity of air is sufficiently effective to prevent ignition of explosive
Most airport surface surveillance systems focus on monitoring and commanding cooperative objects (vehicles) while neglecting the location and detection of non-cooperative objects (humans).Abnormal behavior by non-cooperative objects poses a potential threat to airport security.This study collects surveillance video data from civil aviation airports
In support of a biological control program in California, USA, against the bagrada bug, Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae), an invasive pest of Asian origin, colonies of two species of Ooencyrtus Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae) are maintained using B.hilaris eggs as host.One of them, Ooencyrtus mirus Triapitsyn & Power
The intervertebral disc is a complex structure responsible for flexibility, multi-axial motion, and load transmission throughout the spine.Importantly, degeneration of the intervertebral disc is thought to be an initiating factor for back pain.Due to a lack Charbroilers of understanding of the pathways that govern disc degeneration, there are curre
