Abstract Grain boundaries, the two-dimensional defects between differently oriented crystals, tend to preferentially attract solutes for segregation.Solute segregation has a significant effect on the mechanical and transport properties of materials.At the atomic level, however, the interplay of structure and composition of grain boundaries remains
The feeding of wild birds in domestic gardens is one of the most widespread and popular forms of human-wildlife interaction throughout the Western World.The increasing recognition of the benefits to human health and well-being of contact with nature, especially in an increasingly urbanized world, reveals the need for a greater understanding of why
The global seismic noise, recorded on a network of 229 broadband seismic stations located around the globe for 25 years, from the beginning of 1997 to the end of 2021, has been investigated.To study the noise properties a set of statistics estimated daily have been used: the multifractal singularity spectrum support width, the minimum entropy of th
In the remote sensing field, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a type of active microwave imaging sensor working in all-weather and all-day conditions, providing high-resolution SAR images of objects such as marine ships.Detection and instance segmentation of marine ships in SAR images has become an important question in remote sensing, but current
This study investigates the long-term effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) consumption on avian growth performance, on the proliferation, apoptosis, and DNA damage of spleen cells, and Other Computer Adaptors on intestinal integrity.Two hundred and eight 5-day-old black-feathered Taiwan country chickens were fed diets containing 0, 2, 5, and 10 mg/kg of
