Limpet (Scutellastra cochlear) serves as seafood recipe and an important member of the aquatic food chain.It is an abundant mollusc in some aquatic environment in South Africa.In this study, we investigated the potential of the molluscs harvested from the Buffalo, Swartkops, and Kowie estuaries in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa to serve as
A Next-Generation Sequencing Approach Uncovers Viral Transcripts Incorporated in Poxvirus Virions
Transcripts are known to be incorporated in particles of DNA viruses belonging to the families of Herpesviridae and Mimiviridae, but the presence of transcripts in other DNA viruses, such as poxviruses, has not been analyzed yet.Therefore, we first established a next-generation-sequencing (NGS)-based protocol, enabling the unbiased SOY FREE BUTTER
Biology-Inspired Robust Dive Plane Control of Non-Linear AUV Using Pectoral-Like Fins
The development of a control system for the dive plane control of non-linear biorobotic autonomous underwater vehicles, equipped with pectoral-like fins, is the subject of this paper.Marine animals use pectoral fins for swimming smoothly.The fins are assumed to be oscillating with a combined pitch and heave motion and therefore produce unsteady con
A NB-IoT access scheme based on Beta distribution
As one of the emerging technologies of low-power wide-area Internet of things, narrow band Internet of things (NB-IoT) faces the pressure and challenge of massive connections of terminals.Aiming at Carbon Monoxide practical application scenarios, a preamble allocation scheme based on Beta distribution was proposed.In this scheme, the energy consump
Heat transfer in a dense gas between two parallel plates
Time-dependent heat transfer in a dense gas between two parallel plates, which is initiated by an abrupt change in temperature of one plate, is numerically investigated on the basis of the Enskog equation under the diffuse reflection boundary condition.Numerical computation is carried out by a finite-difference scheme combined with the Fourier spec
