It is well known that venules equipped with valves play a critical role in regulating blood flow.Essentially they are peristaltic pumps that increase the efficiency of venous blood return to the heart, thanks Food Storage Containers to the presence of valves preventing backflow.Inspired by two recent papers, we have modeled the venule as a vessel w
A $ extit{sigma partitioning}$ of a graph $G$ is a partition of the vertices into sets $P_1, ldots, P_k$ Food Storage Containers such that for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ there is an index $i$ such that $u$ and $v$ have different numbers of neighbors in $P_i$.The $ extit{ sigma number}$ of a graph $G$, denoted by $sigma(G)$, is the mini
Traditional automatic pavement distress detection methods using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) require a great deal of time and resources for computing and are poor in terms of interpretability.Therefore, Dining inspired by the successful application of Transformer architecture in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, a novel Transformer m
Seismic interferometry is often proposed as a cost-efficient technique for reservoir monitoring including CO2 sequestration due to its low cost and environmental advantages over active source imaging.Although many studies have demonstrated the ability of seismic interferometry to retrieve surface waves, body wave imaging remains challenging due to
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) are widely distributed pollutants that co-exist in the environment; however, their joint toxicity on living organisms is still largely unknown.In this study, we explored the joint toxicity of concurrent exposure to Cd and different As species at low concentrations on Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) in comparison to
