Global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have urged the world to control their impacts and find clean and green energy sources.Due to this paradigm shift, renewable energy resources (RESs) have received tremendous attention around the globe and amongst other RESs, wind energy has been proving itself a promising renewable resource.However, still
Challenges of BTV-Group Specific Serology Testing: No One Test Fits All
A newly formatted enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to bluetongue virus (BTV) was developed and validated for bovine and ovine sera and plasma.Validation of the new sandwich ELISA (sELISA) was achieved with 949 negative bovine and ovine sera from BTV endemic and non-endemic areas of Australia and 752 BTV posi
Analysis of the Changes in Physicochemical Properties and Microbial Communities During Fermentation of Sweet Fermented Rice
As a traditional rice wine, sweet fermented rice (SFR) is widely loved because of its unique flavor and high nutritional value.However, the physicochemical properties, microbial community composition, and metabolic pathway changes during the fermentation process Cocktail Sticks of sweet wine have not been evaluated, and these changes can lead to un
Tensor Regression and Image Fusion-Based Change Detection Using Hyperspectral and Multispectral Images
Change detection is a popular topic in remote sensing that is generally constrained to two remote sensing images captured at two different times.However, the optimal type of remote sensing image for change detection tasks has not yet been determined.The use of only hyperspectral images (HSIs) with low spatial resolution or multispectral images BULK
Greening Africa-China Relations: African Agents Punching Below their Weight?
China is changing the global metabolism of Light Ropes goods and resources.In the last few decades, China has launched an unprecedented and unparalleled economic engagement with Africa.The level of Chinese investment on the continent is still very low relative to its investment in other regions whereas, for many African countries, China has already
