We herein report the results of some numerical simulations of complex earthquake cycles using a three-degree-of-freedom spring-block model with a rate- and state-dependent friction law.The model consists of three blocks on a conveyor belt that is moving at a steady rate.Observed complex slip behaviour in the simulations is classified into five slip
Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse health outcomes.However, the health burden related to ambient outdoor air pollution in sub-Saharan Africa remains unclear.This study examined the relationship between exposure to outdoor air pollution and child health in urban slums of Nairobi, Kenya.We conducted a semi-ecological study among chi
Abstract Background Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) of the uterus is a rare type of mesenchymal tumors associated with myelomelanocytic differentiation and distinctive histological appearances.So far, the reported cases of uterine PEComas are usually benign.Documented malignant cases with aggressive behavior appear to be less common.
This paper introduces an innovative approach to 3D environmental mapping through the integration of a compact, handheld sensor package with a two-stage sensor fusion pipeline.The sensor package, incorporating LiDAR, IMU, RGB, and thermal cameras, enables comprehensive and robust 3D mapping of various environments.By leveraging Simultaneous Localiza
Consumption of fermented foods has been an integral part of the human food resource since the beginning of civilization.For generations, the practice of preparing fermented food have remained the same with a very little alterations in the techniques.Throughout the globe people with different ethnicity are known to produce fermented alcoholic bevera
