This paper presents a system for identification of wind features, such as gusts and wind shear.These are of particular interest in the context of energy-efficient navigation of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).The proposed system generates real-time wind vector estimates and a novel algorithm to generate wind field predictions.Estimations are ba

Scurrula notothixoides (Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic shrub distributed in forest margins of Southeast Asian countries.Here, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of S.notothixoides in an effort to provide genomic resources useful for the phylogenetic studies for Santalales.The complete plastome is 123,810 bp in length

As the risk of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) infection is a major obstacle to the xenotransplantation of porcine tissue, we investigated whether an AN69 hollow fibre membrane, used for islets of Langerhans transplantation, could prevent the transfer of PERVs and thus reduce the risk of PERV infection.PK15 cells were used as a PERV source.A s
