Bayesian techniques for engineering problems, which rely on Gaussian process (GP) regression, are known for their ability to quantify epistemic and aleatory uncertainties and for being data efficient.The mathematical elegance of applying these methods usually comes at a high computational cost when compared to deterministic and empirical Bayesian m
Abstract The emergence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains is a growing concern of public health.Inspired by the natural bactericidal surfaces of lotus leaves and shark skin, increasing attention has been focused on the use of mechano-bactericidal methods to create surfaces with antibacterial and/or bactericidal effects.There
In the last decades, there has been a tendency towards sustainable agriculture.Following this trend, edaphic fungi as Trichoderma Deodorants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could increase plant growth contributing to diminish agricultural chemical supply.However, little information exists in current research regarding the possible effects of
While gay and lesbian characters have a steady presence in American television series by now, this is not the case with transgender persons.Although there is a significant number of shows with such characters, sometimes even in leading roles, this still is a marginal phenomenon.Casting debates, depictions of sexual violence and transphobic harassme
Oil derived from Jatropha is a potential alternative to fossil fuels for Diesel engines in Mozambique because it can be cheaper and more easily available than fatty acid methyl ester, though the physical properties, e.g.high viscosity, might be a problem.As an attempt to Face Serum use Jatropha oil (JO) in Diesel engines, the present study mixed JO
