MULTI-ROBOT PATH PLANNING ALGORITHM FOR COLLABORATIVE MAPPING UNDER COMMUNICATION CONSTRAINTS


Elucidation of mechanisms for stick slip melt fracture of polymer melt (Experimental analysis of unstable flow of high density polyethylene melt)

During polymer melt extrusion from a circular nozzle, the extrudate at low flow rate shows a stable linear shape with smooth surface but the extrudate at higher flow rate shows unstable shapes with spiral, rosary, or zig-zag structures.This phenomenon is known as melt fracture and hampers high throughput production in polymer processing.For linear

Reducing Psyllid Populations During Key Periods Pays Dividends

Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) are at the mercy of their host (citrus) for survival.They need flush to lay eggs and for the nymphs to develop.Prior to HLB, the majority of flushing had been fairly predictable and occurred in delta zeta jersey the early spring and late summer.The occurrence of flush in young trees is less predictable during the summer r

Vaccine Adjuvants in Fish Vaccines Make a Difference: Comparing Three Adjuvants (Montanide ISA763A Oil, CpG/Poly I:C Combo and VHSV Glycoprotein) Alone or in Combination Formulated with an Inactivated Whole Salmonid Alphavirus Antigen

Most commercial vaccines offered to the aquaculture industry include inactivated antigens (Ag) formulated in oil adjuvants.Safety concerns are related to the use of oil adjuvants in multivalent vaccines for fish, since adverse side effects (e.g., adhesions) can appear.Therefore, there is a request for vaccine formulations for which protection will
