In 3D terrain analysis, topographical characteristics, such as mountains or valleys, and geo-spatial data characteristics, such as specific weather conditions or objects of interest, are important features.Visual representations of these features are essential in many application fields, e.g., aviation, meteorology, or geo-science.However, creating
Intracellular membrane fusion mediates diverse processes including cell growth, division and communication.Fusion involves complex formation between SNARE proteins anchored to adjacent membranes.How and in what form interacting SNARE proteins reach their sites of action is virtually unknown.We have addressed this problem in the context of plant cel
Skeletal mineralization is initiated in matrix vesicles (MVs), the small extracellular vesicles derived from osteoblasts and chondrocytes.Calcium and inorganic phosphate (Pi) taken up by MVs form hydroxyapatite crystals, which propagate on collagen fibrils to mineralize the extracellular matrix.Insufficient calcium or phosphate impairs skeletal min
The paper shows the results of the research activities carried out by the Department of Engineering at the University of Palermo (Italy), which assessed the application of the Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) methodology through a Scan-to-BIM approach to two local churches belonging to the medieval period.This project was motivated by
To analyze the robustness and reliability of field area network (FAN) in the power distribution network, a quantifiable network resilience characterization and evaluation model was proposed.The elasticity Stroller Accessories indicator was defined from network connectivity, robustness and redundancy, and the total network elasticity was calculated
