Although the domestication process has altered the feeding behavior of dogs, some breeds still demonstrate a remarkable ability to gorge, and will eat exceptionally large quantities of food whenever it is available.Lesions in the ventromedial hypothalamus increase appetite and lead to obesity, suggesting that the autonomic nervous system plays an i
Discontinuity sets play an essential and pivotal role in the deformation monitoring and stability analysis of the rock mass, but there are still many challenges for accurately and rapidly extracting discontinuity.In this study, an extraction and characterization method of discontinuity sets based on point cloud supervoxel segmentation was proposed,
In the construction of the civil engineering infrastructure, the noise and vibration are affected by the geological conditions, adopting specific construction techniques based on the geological conditions is of great significance in suppressing the noise and vibration caused by the construction.To classify and evaluate the rock mass quality, the ro
We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets.Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed from geothermal heating plus frictional heating (expenditure of potential energy) as a consequence of ice Diffu
A new species of Bike Units - Fat Bikes the genus Mesobiotus is described from the Republic of South Africa using a traditional morphological approach (light and scanning electron microscopy) combined with molecular analysis (18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, ITS-2 and COI markers).Mesobiotus anastasiae sp.nov.differs from all known Mesobiotus species by having
