Thin and flexible sensor foils are very suitable for unobtrusive integration with mechanical structures and allow monitoring for example strain and temperature while minimally interfering with the operation of those structures.Electrical strain gages have long been used for this purpose, but optical strain sensors based on Bragg gratings are gainin
Terrestrial and satellite communications, tactical data links, positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), as well as distributed sensing will continue to require precise timing and the ability to synchronize and disseminate time effectively.However, the supply of space-qualified clocks that meet Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-level perf
Abstract Background Sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) is present in the membranes of cyanobacteria and their postulated progeny, plastids, in plants.A cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp.PCC 6803, requires SQDG for growth: its mutant (SD1) with the sqdB gene for SQDG synthesis disrupted can grow with external supplementation of SQDG.However, upon
Parachute and parachute-like mitral valve are extremely rare congenital anomalies of mitral valve involving Vacuum Filter multiple aspects of mitral valve apparatus.It is usually seen in the younger age group.Very few cases of isolated parachute-like mitral valve in the adult age group have been in the literature.We hereby present a case report of
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important cause of upper and lower respiratory tract disease in individuals of all ages.It is estimated that most individuals will be infected by HMPV by the age of five years Fixed Blade Tactical old.Despite this burden of disease, there remain caveats in our knowledge of global genetic diversity due to a lack of
