Trimming of slopes as a consequence of proliferating economic growth and previously existing structures along anonymous unbalanced slopes has been one of the reasons for originating landslides along hillside areas. Numerous ...

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) has the potential to diminish solar energy production by direct and indirect radiative forcing as well as by depositing to solar panel surfaces, thereby reducing solar energy transmittance ...

We investigate evolutionary phases of an M6.2 flare and the associated confined eruption of a prominence. The pre-flare phase exhibits spectacular large-scale contraction of overlying extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coronal loops ...

Community-driven Question Answering (CQA) systems such as Yahoo! Answers have become valuable sources of reusable information. CQA retrieval enables usage of historical CQA archives to solve new questions posed by users. ...

Drug discovery is a highly time consuming and costly process. Lead identification and development are key steps in the drug discovery programme. Studies have suggested that a large number of commercially available drugs ...

While it is well accepted that motor performance declines with age, the ability to learn simple procedural motor tasks appears to remain intact to some extent in normal aging. Here we examined the impact of aging on the ...

We describe a generalised method for ellipsoid fitting against a minimum set of data points. The proposed method is numerically stable and applies to a wide range of ellipsoidal shapes, including highly elongated and ...
