Performance-Driven Engineering Design Approaches Based on Generative Design and Topology Optimization Tools: A Comparative Study

The advent of Additive Manufacturing (AM) is uncovering the limits of the current CAD systems and, at the same time, is highlighting the potentials of the Topology Optimization (TO) and Generative Design (GD) tools that had not been fully exploited until now.Differently from the traditional design approach in which designers occupy a predominant ro

Developmentally regulated sesquiterpene production confers resistance to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in ripe pepper fruits.

Sesquiterpenoid capsidiol, exhibiting antifungal activity against pathogenic fungus, is accumulated in infected ripe pepper fruits.In this study, we found a negative relation between the capsidiol level and lesion size in fruits infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, depending on the stage of ripening.To understand the developmental regulati

A meteorological overview of the MILAGRO field campaigns

We describe the large-scale meteorological conditions that affected atmospheric chemistry over Mexico during March 2006 when several field campaigns were conducted in the region.In-situ and remote-sensing instrumentation was deployed to obtain measurements of wind, temperature, and humidity profiles in the boundary layer and free atmosphere at four

A Review on Visual-SLAM: Advancements from Geometric Modelling to Learning-Based Semantic Scene Understanding Using Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the fundamental problems in autonomous mobile robots where a robot needs to reconstruct a previously unseen environment while simultaneously localising itself with respect to the map.In particular, Visual-SLAM uses various sensors from the mobile robot for collecting and 8 oz red bull can dimen
