WHY ARE THERE SO MANY EXOTIC SPRINGTAILS IN AUSTRALIA? A REVIEW.

Why are there so many exotic Springtails in Australia? A review.

Native invertebrate assemblages in Australia are adversely impacted by invasive exotic plants because they are replaced by exotic, invasive invertebrates.The reasons have remained obscure.The different physical, chemical and biotic characteristics of the novel habitat seem to present hostile conditions for native species.This results in empty niche

Automated recognition of the cricket batting backlift technique in video footage using deep learning architectures

Abstract There have been limited studies demonstrating the validation of batting techniques in cricket using machine learning.This study demonstrates how the batting backlift technique in cricket can be automatically recognised in video footage and compares the performance of popular deep learning architectures, namely, AlexNet, Inception V3, Incep

Association of Odor Thresholds and Responses in Cerebral Blood Flow of the Prefrontal Area during Olfactory Stimulation in Patients with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a disorder characterized by nonspecific and recurrent symptoms from various organ systems associated with exposure to low levels of chemicals.Patients with MCS process odors differently than controls do.Previously, we suggested that this odor processing was associated with increased regional cerebral blood flo

Comparison of Perturbation Strategies for the Initial Ensemble in Ocean Data Assimilation with a Fully Coupled Earth System Model

It is widely recognized that the initial ensemble describes the uncertainty of the variables and, thus, affects the performance of ensemble-based assimilation techniques, which is investigated in this paper with experiments using the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) assimilation software.Five per
