This study presents a multi-band conformal antenna based endoscopic system for robust biotelemetry communications, which covers five important bands, including the MedRadio (401-406 MHz), Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) (433.1-434.8 MHz, 868-868.6 MHz, 902-928 MHz), and midfield (1200 MHz) bands.These bands are intended for functions such
Abstract Background Rural youth often begin developing polysubstance use and other risk behaviors during middle school.However, little polysubstance use research focuses on rural middle school youth.Our research uses Latent Class Analysis to understand existing patterns of rural middle school polysubstance use and risk and protective factors associ
An octopus arm with a flexible structure and no rigid skeleton shows a high degree of freedom and flexibility.These excellent features are suitable for working in an environment having fragile and unknown-shaped objects.Therefore, a soft robot arm resembling an octopus arm can be useful as a harvesting machine without damaging crops in the agricult
The air potato beetle, Lilioceris cheni Gressitt and Kimoto (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae), is a successful biological control agent of the air potato vine, Dioscorea bulbifera L.(Dioscoreales: Dioscoreaceae), in the southern United States.Lilioceris LEDs cheni is currently being mass-reared by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service
In the last few years, a sharp increase in the number of descriptions of new species of West African cone snails, particularly from the Cabo Verde Archipelago, has taken place.In previous studies, we used mitogenome sequences for reconstructing robust phylogenies, which comprised in total 120 individuals representing the majority of species (69.7%)
