This paper presents a topology optimization based on a covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) for acoustic cloaks rendering a scattering object acoustically invisible.The cloaks are designed by minimizing the scattering of acoustic waves around the object and the objective function is defined as the integrated intensity of the sca
The application of renewable energy can effectively alleviate energy shortages and environmental pollution.However, electric heating and traditional combustion heating are still widely used in western Sichuan.This paper analyzes a techno-economic comparison between a solar-air energy heating system (System 1) and a geothermal-air energy heating sys
Abstract Both TP53 and ESR1 mutations occur frequently in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancers (MBC) and their distinct roles in breast cancer tumorigenesis and progression are well appreciated.Recent clinical studies discovered mutual exclusivity between TP53 and ESR1 mutations in metastatic breast cancers; however, mechanism
BACKGROUND: Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain adaptation, a longstanding experimental model of cerebellar learning, utilizes sites of plasticity in both cerebellar cortex and brainstem.However, the mechanisms by which the activity of cortical Purkinje cells may guide synaptic plasticity in brainstem vestibular neurons are unclear.Theoretical analy
This study empirically studies the impacts of micro-credit finance on the socio-economic status of small agriculturists in Pakistan.Little research has been conducted in this area in Pakistan.The data was gathered from 693 micro-credit finance participants and non-participants, at a 2 to 3 ratio, through an adapted questionnaire from the 8-clusters
