Frictional and dynamic responses of brake pad materials, when sliding on brake disc counterfaces, are at the Photo-Video origin of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) issues such as brake noise emissions.In more detail, groan is a low frequency noise emission often associated to the stick-slip frictional response of the brake system.The instabilit
This study presents a novel approach in the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imaging for the conjoint assessment of the snow depth and winter leaf area index (LAI), a structural property of vegetation, affecting the snow accumulation and snowmelt.The snow depth estimation, based on a multi-temporal set of high-resolution digital surface
Plant fibers are increasingly evolving as suitable natural substitutes to the synthetic and non-ecofriendly Kevlar, polyamide, and Dyneema fibers due to their availability and the drive towards maximum cost saving, sustainable manufacturing, and environmental friendliness.This set of fibers offers unique characteristics like comparatively low weigh
Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission through non-mosquito-dependent routes has become increasingly important since reports of sexual transmission.Breastfeeding is a potential means of ZIKV transmission, but data Photo-Video on this remain limited.The cases of four mothers with laboratory-proven infections are reported.No disease evolved in three of the b
To investigate the effects of Ca2+ on cation accumulation and K+/Na+ selectivity, in this study, two-week-old rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were exposed to 25 or 125 mmol/L NaCl with or without 10 mmol/L CaCl2.At low salinity (25 mmol/L NaCl), Ca2+ significantly decreased Na+ accumulation in roots, increased K+ accumulation in shoots, and maintaine
