Underwater terrain-aided navigation (TAN) can obtain high-precision positioning independently and autonomously under the conditions of a communication rejection space, which is an important breakthrough for the autonomous and refined operation of deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicles near the seabed.Although TAN originated in the Belt Bags aviati
Apatite and zircon are among the best-studied and most widely used accessory minerals for geochronology and thermochronology.Given that apatite and zircon are often present in the same lithologies, distinguishing the two phases in crushed mineral separates is a common task for geochronology, thermochronology, and petrochronology studies.Here we pre
Retroviruses perpetuate their survival by incorporating a copy of their genome into the host cell, a critical step catalyzed Dreamcatchers by the virally encoded integrase.The viral capsid plays an important role during the viral life cycle, including nuclear importation in the case of lentiviruses and integration targeting events; hence, targeting
The impacts of changing climate on agriculture have consequences on livelihoods and food security.Smallholder farmers, who have heterogeneous farming systems and limited resources, compounded with multiple risks, are greatly affected.There has been limited research showing how vulnerability assessments have evolved in the smallholder agricultural s
Fatigue life of tubular joints in offshore structures is significantly influenced by the degree of bending (DoB).The DoB exhibits considerable scatter calling for greater emphasis in accurate determination of its governing probability distribution which is a key input for the fatigue reliability analysis of a tubular joint.Although the tubular X-jo
