Different convergent evolutionary strategies adopted by angiosperm fruits lead to diverse functional seed dispersal units.Dry dehiscent fruits are a common type of fruit, characterized by their lack of fleshy pericarp and the release of seeds at maturity through openings (dehiscence zones, DZs) in their structure.In previous decades, a set of core
Hydrogen addition can improve the performance and extend the lean burn limit of gasoline engines.Different hydrogen injection strategies lead to different types of hydrogen mixture distribution (HMD), which affects the engine performance.Therefore, the present study experimentally investigated the effects of hydrogen injection strategy on the combu
Large-scale data presents great challenges to data analysis due to the limited computer storage capacity and the heterogeneous data structure.In this article, we propose a distributed expectile regression model to resolve the challenges of large-scale data by designing a surrogate loss function and using the Iterative Local Alternating Direction Me
Controlling stimulus access to sensory organs allows animals to optimize sensory reception and prevent damage.The vomeronasal DIRECT LEAVE-IN COND organ (VNO) detects pheromones and other semiochemicals to regulate innate social and sexual behaviors.This semiochemical detection generally requires the VNO to draw in chemical fluids, such as bodily s
This article proposes a lexicographical approach to the compilation of multilingual concept literacy glossaries which may play a very important role in supporting students at institutions of higher education.In order to support concept literacy, especially for students for whom English is not the native language, a number of universities in South A
