Abstract Mammalian preimplantation embryo development is a complex sequence of events.This period of development is sensitive to oxygen (O2) levels that can affect various cellular processes.We compared the influence of O2 tension by culturing embryos either in normoxic (20% O2) or physiological hypoxic (6% O2) conditions, or sequential low O2 conc
Crowd systems play an important role in virtual environment applications, such as those used in entertainment, education, training, and different simulation systems.Performance and scalability are key factors, and Air Tools it is desirable for crowds to be simulated with as few resources as possible while providing variety and realism for agents.Th
Superamphiphobic coatings have widespread application potential in various fields, e.g., anti-icing, anti-corrosion and self-cleaning, but are seriously limited by poor mechanical stability.Here, mechanically stable superamphiphobic coatings were fabricated by spraying the suspension composed of phase-separated silicone-modified polyester (SPET) ad
Introduction: Antibiotics deserve their place a powerful pillar in modern medical care, but the development of antibiotic resistance is emerging faster than the availability of new antibiotics.This poses a major threat to public health.The primary aim was to determine the perceptions towards the prescribing of antibiotics by pharmacists and the use
This paper presents a study on a multiscale pore connectivity network derived from a sandstone image.We first convert a grayscale sandstone image into pore and grain regions.The binary pore-grain image is transformed into multiscale pore by performing morphological opening operations with increasing structuring element size.A pore connectivity netw
