In this paper, we propose a method to visualize large-scale colliding point clouds by highlighting their collision areas, and apply the method to visualization of collision simulation.Our method uses our recent work that achieved precise three-dimensional see-through imaging, i.e., transparent visualization, of large-scale point clouds that were ac

In this paper closed-form conditions for predicting the boundary of period-doubling (PD) bifurcation or saddle-node (SN) bifurcation in a class of PWM piecewise linear systems are obtained from a time-domain asymptotic approach.Examples of switched system considered in this study are switching dc-dc power electronics converters, temperature control

ABSTRACT Caseous necrosis is a hallmark of tuberculosis (TB) pathology and creates a niche for drug-tolerant persisters within the host.Cavitary TB and high bacterial burden in caseum require longer treatment duration.An in vitro model that recapitulates the major features of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in caseum would accelerate the identific

Abstract Background Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) remains a diagnostic challenge due to a variable clinical presentation and the lack of a reliable screening tool.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in a wide range of pathophysiologic processes.Circulating miRNAs are emerging biomarkers Air Compressor in heart failure, type 2 diabetes and

Tick-borne haemoparasite Babesia gibsoni has been detected rarely in cats, in surveys of apparently healthy animals.In stored blood from a 6-year-old male-neutered domestic shorthair cat in Hong Kong, B.gibsoni axe DNA was detected retrospectively using PCR for Babesia spp.18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome B genes, followed by sequencing and ba
