This review addresses the importance of Zn for obtaining multifunctional materials with interesting properties by following certain preparation strategies: choosing the appropriate synthesis route, doping and co-doping of ZnO films to achieve conductive oxide materials with p- or n-type conductivity, and finally adding polymers in the oxide systems
The systematic and network-centric warfare becomes complicated currently.It is a challenge problem to design and choose the optimal combat system-of-systems to complete missions.In order to solve this challenge, we propose a super-network model based combat system-of-systems architecture (CSoSA) and a scheme space exploration algorithm in this pape
Wild animals in general, birds in particular, play a key role in transporting ticks and propagating tick-borne pathogens.Several studies have confirmed the infection of birds with Anaplasma phagocytophilum, with overall prevalence varying widely from country to country and/or study to study.This zoonotic bacterium, transmitted mainly by ticks of th
In the field of rigid parallel manipulators, the Delta parallel robot is one of the most popular choices in the industry due to its ability to adapt to a wide range of applications, particularly pick-and-place tasks.In this paper, the authors present novel designs of Delta-type continuum parallel manipulators with flexible bars, solving both their
The Basilica of San Marco in Venice is a well-known masterpiece of World Heritage.It is a real multi-faceted architecture.The management of the church and its construction site is very complicated, and requires an efficient Luminous Affection Couple Ring system to collect and manage different kinds of data.The BIM approach appeared to be the most s
