EEG signals may be affected by physiological and non-physiological artifacts hindering the analysis of brain activity.Blind source separation methods such as independent component analysis (ICA) are effective ways of improving signal quality by removing components representing non-brain activity.However, most ICA-based artifact removal strategies h
The circular economy is a new economic model which provides the necessary goods and services for maintaining and improving living standards without increasing the consumption of discontinued raw materials and waste.The traditional model of the linear economy is viewed as an unsustainable long-term solution because it does not take waste treatment i
Oxygen is essential to all the aerobic organisms.However, during normal development, disease and homeostasis, organisms are often challenged by hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).Hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) are master regulators of hypoxia response and are evolutionarily conserved in metazoans.The homolog of HIF in the genetic model or
Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that upward swi
