We examine tidal flexure in the grounding zone of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, using a combination of TerraSAR-X repeat-pass radar interferometry, a precise digital elevation model, and GPS ground validation data.Satellite and field data were acquired in tandem between October and December 2014.Our GPS data show a horizontal modulation of up … Read More

Abstract The advent of whole genome sequencing has revealed that common laboratory strains of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) have major genetic deficiencies resulting from serial passage in fibroblasts.In particular, tropism for epithelial and endothelial cells is lost due to mutations disrupting genes UL128, UL130, or UL131A, which encode subunits o… Read More

Crown root fractures in the maxillary anterior region represent an intriguing challenge for clinicians.An interdisciplinary approach based on exposing fractured margins and the definitive prosthetic rehabilitation represent the standard modality of treatment for these conditions Worklights to restore the appropriate biologic dimension and esthetics… Read More

Mouthwash In this work, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping fault-tolerant control (FTC) issue is tackled for uncertain fractional-order (FO) nonlinear systems with sensor and actuator faults.A fuzzy logic system is exploited to manage unknown nonlinearity.In addition, a novel FO nonlinear filter-based dynamic surface control (DSC) method is constructed… Read More
