The possibility to have results very quickly after, or even during, the collection of electromagnetic data would be important, not only for quality check purposes, but also for adjusting the location of the proposed flight lines during an airborne time-domain acquisition.This kind of readiness could have a large impact in terms of optimization of t
Soil-transmitted nematodes (STNs) place a tremendous burden on health and economics worldwide with an estimate of at least 1.5 billion people, or 24% of the population, being infected with at least 1 STN globally.Children and pregnant women carry the heavier pathological burden, and disease caused by the blood-feeding worm in the intestine can resu
The peculiar Afrotropical bark beetle genus Xyloctonus Eichhoff, 1872 is revised and its biology described.Several unusual morphological features reflect adaptations to predator avoidance as they are highly exposed during mating externally on tree trunks and branches.Observations invariably indicate that males and females abandon the nest under bar
Several high-voltage transmission towers failed under excessive wind loads in a mountainous and exposed area.This study discusses the efficient and reliable modeling of lattice towers dominantly loaded by wind, a scenario which led to a collapse Ironing Mats cascade in a high-voltage transmission line.The ultimate load-bearing capacity had to be es
