All existing data and most of the available materials on Sphyradium doliolum from Ukraine and Moldova are reviewed.The species is reported from 38 localities (some including several sites) on uplands east of the Carpathians, the Dnipro Upland and in the Crimean Mountains.It mostly inhabits the broadleaved forests, but in one locality Hayward SP0715
Imperialist competition algorithm with quasi-opposition-based learning for function optimization and engineering design problems
Imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is an efficient meta-heuristic algorithm by simulating the competitive behaviour among imperialist countries.However, it still suffers from slow convergence and deficiency in exploration.To address these issues, an improved ICA is proposed by combining ICA with a quasi-opposition-based Turntable Stylus Cleani
Novel Infectivity-Enhanced Oncolytic Adenovirus with a Capsid-Incorporated Dual-Imaging Moiety for Monitoring Virotherapy in Ovarian Cancer
We sought to develop a cancer-targeted, infectivity-enhanced oncolytic adenovirus that embodies a capsid-labeling fusion for non-invasive dual-modality imaging of ovarian cancer virotherapy.A functional fusion protein composed of fluorescent and nuclear imaging tags was genetically incorporated into the capsid of an infectivity-enhanced conditional
Business Open Big Data Analytics to Support Innovative Leadership and Management Decision in Canada
This paper summarizes how social media and other technologies continue to proliferate; the shifting economic Carpet Shampoo landscape will precipitate more adaptive approaches for managers attempting to understand the multi-dimensional virtual aspects of communication with the artificial intelligence aspect.Also, we discover the different existing
Effects of blade section on performance of butterfly wind turbines as double-blade VAWTs
A butterfly wind turbine (BWT) is a kind of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with closed-loop blades.These blades form a double-blade structure, which is expected to improve self-starting properties and reduce energy costs because of their simple construction.Two models of micro BWTs (diameter: 0.4 m; height: 0.3 m) were built and subjected to win
