This study aims at the prediction of the turbulent flow behind cylinder arrays by the application of New External Design Temperatures and Geospatial Models for Poland and Central Europe for Building Heat Load Calculations Echo State Networks (ESN).Three different arrangements of arrays of seven cylinders are chosen for the current study.These repre
Quality of life and self-esteem in patients submitted to surgical treatment of skin carcinomas: long-term results
BACKGROUND: Cancer is a multifactorial disease and skin carcinomas are the most common type of cancer.Assessing quality of life and self-esteem outcomes in skin cancer patients is important because these are indicators of the results of the treatment, translating how patients face their lives and their personal relationships.OBJECTIVE: To assess th
Micro-simulation modelling for traffic safety: A review and potential application to heterogeneous traffic environment
This paper critically reviews micro-simulation modelling applications for traffic safety evaluation with respect to the use of different simulation tools, the application of surrogate safety indicators under different aspects of road The Value of Decision Making to the Airlines: An Analysis of Passenger Preferences on Check-ins environments and cra
Loss of the histidine kinase DhkD results in mobile mounds during development of Dictyostelium discoideum.
Histidine kinases are receptors for sensing cellular and environmental signals, and in response to the appropriate cue they initiate phosphorelays that regulate the activity of response regulators.The Dictyostelium discoideum genome encodes 15 histidine kinases that function to regulate several processes during the multicellular developmental progr
An active learning card game to teach microbial pathogenesis to undergraduate biology majors
ABSTRACTInteractive classroom activities are an effective way to reinforce knowledge and promote student engagement.In this paper, we introduce the Pathogenesis Card Game (PCG), an innovative card game that engages students in a battle between microbial pathogens and the host immune system.Each student is given a set of cards that consist of either
