Image matching is one of the most important tasks in Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV) photogrammetry applications.The number and distribution of extracted keypoints play an essential role in the reliability and accuracy of image matching and Drug Tests orientation results.Conventional detectors generally produce too many redundant keypoints.In this pa
Resist or perish: Fate of a microbial population subjected to a periodic presence of antimicrobial.
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance can be strongly affected by variations of antimicrobial concentration.Here, we study the impact of periodic alternations of absence and presence of antimicrobial on resistance evolution in a microbial population, using a stochastic model that includes variations of both population composition and size, and
Large-scale englacial folding and deep-ice stratigraphy within the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
It has been hypothesized that complex englacial structures identified within the East Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are generated by (i) water freezing to the ice sheet base and evolving under ice flow, (ii) deformation of ice of Parfum varying rheology, or (iii) entrainment of basal material.Using ice-penetrating radar, we identify a widespre
In Search of the Iraqi Other: Iraqi Fiction in Diaspora and the Discursive Reenactment of Ethno-Religious Identities
In Iraqi fiction, the prerogative to narrate the SCISSOR SET experience of marginal identities, particularly ethno-religious ones, appeared only in the post-occupation era.Traditionally, secular Iraqi discourse struggled to openly address “sectarianism” due to the prevalent notion that sectarian identities are mutually exclusive and opp
Readmission outcomes following infectious hospitalization: same-care unit performed better than different-care unit
Abstract Background Previous studies showed that same-hospital readmission is associated with better outcomes than different-hospital readmission.However, little is known about whether readmission to the same care unit (same-care unit readmission) after infectious hospitalization performs better than readmission to a different care unit at the same
