The European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescopes have spotted the aftermath of three bright explosions echoing through the outer spiral arms of our galaxy, the Milky ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

Rail support modulus is an important factor in safety of railway track. This parameter is defined as support force imposing on rail length unit per rail unit displacement in vertical direction. Rail ...

Abstract: Distributed precision jamming (DPJ) is an efficient way to control the combined power spectrum (CPS) of both target and friendly devices in electronic warfare. However, the existing methods ...

SINGAPORE – The number of potholes found on roads in Singapore has been decreasing over the last three years, with a nearly 40 per cent drop in the January to September period compared with the same ...

Abstract: In this letter, we propose an IRS-assisted MIMO communication system model in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). A distance-dependent Rician factor and real-time Doppler frequency offset ...

Flexible psammophytes play an important role in controlling soil wind erosion and desertification, owing to their characteristics. Although flexibility of psammophytes has been considered in previous ...

The decrease in the subgrade modulus immersed in rainwater can significantly increase the fracture risk of a cement concrete pavement plate. The aim of this study was to develop a meshless finite ...

This article presents the results of a study of the properties of epoxy adhesives in an adhesive joint. The study analysed changes in Young's modulus values as a function of the rigidity of the ...

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.
