In this study, a genetic algorithm-based laser beam (LB) path optimization method is presented to improve laser-based additive manufacturing (LBAM).To emulate the LBAM process, LB irradiation of a thin metal substrate is applied.The LB path generation is formulated as the search for the optimal sequence of LB irradiation into the cells on the subst
Evaluating the Performance of Pulsed and Continuous-Wave Lidar Wind Profilers with a Controlled Motion Experiment
While floating wind lidars provide reliable and cost-effective measurements, these measurements may be inaccurate due to the motion of the installation platforms.Prior studies have not distinguished between systematic errors associated with lidars and errors resulting from motion.This study will fill this gap by examining the impact of platform mot
High-Level Accumulation of Exogenous Small RNAs Not Affecting Endogenous Small RNA Biogenesis and Function in Plants
RNA silencing is a fundamental plant defence and gene control mechanism in plants that are directed by 20-24 nucleotide (nt) small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA).Infection of plants with viral pathogens or transformation of Wrap plants with RNA interference (RNAi) constructs is usually associated with high levels of exogenous siRNAs,
The effect of group cognitive behavioral therapy on stress, anxiety, and depression of women with multiple sclerosis
Background: One of the factors that could influence the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis, which is usually overlooked, is its psychological aspects.Considering the increasing acceptance of complementary medicine in the health system, this study was designed and conducted to determine the effect of group cognitive therapy on the s
