A new Afrotropical species of Polynema Haliday, 1833 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), Polynema (Polynema) sagittaria van Noort & Triapitsyn, sp.n., is described and illustrated based on specimens collected in the Cape Floral region in south-western South Africa.This species is morphologically closely related to the recently described Polynema (Pol
Systematic review on the current state of disaster preparation Simulation Exercises (SimEx)
Abstract Introduction The simulation exercise (SimEx) simulates an emergency in which an elaboration or description of the response is applied.The purpose of these exercises is to validate and improve plans, procedures, and systems for responding to all hazards.The purpose of this study was to review disaster preparation exercises conducted by vari
Modeling the time evolution of the nanoparticle-protein corona in a body fluid.
BackgroundNanoparticles in contact with biological fluids interact with proteins and other biomolecules, thus forming a dynamic corona whose composition varies over time due to continuous protein association and dissociation events.Eventually equilibrium is reached, at which point the continued exchange will not affect the composition of the corona
Facial Landmark Detection With Learnable Connectivity Graph Convolutional Network
The conventional heatmap regression with deep networks has become one of the mainstream approaches for landmark detection.Despite their success, these methods do not exploit the overall landmarks structure.We present a new landmark detection which is In-Line Blower capable to capture the overall structure of landmarks by modeling these landmarks as
