Coastal areas accommodate a great part of large metropolises as they support a great amount of economic and leisure activities.The attraction of people to coastal zones is contributing to an intense and continuous urbanization of these areas, while the ecosystems are threatened by the increase of natural extreme weather events (e.g.intensity and du

The on-board sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) system is essential to guarantee the reliability and safety of an aero engine.In this paper, a novel online sequential extreme learning machine with memory principle (MOS-ELM) is proposed for detecting, isolating, and reconstructing the fault sensor PEPPERMINT signal of aero engines.In many pr

We argue that making accept/reject decisions on scientific hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level from p = 0.05 to p = 0.005, is deleterious for the finding of new CELLULITE CONTROL discoveries and the progress of science.Given that blanket and variable alpha levels both are problematic, it is sensible to dispens

BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis japonica remains a significant public health problem in China and Southeast Asian countries.The most typical and serious outcome of the chronic oriental schistosomiasis is the progressive granuloma and fibrosis in the host liver, which has been a major medical challenge.However, the molecular mechanism underling the hepa
