We conducted in-depth analysis on the use of a popular Chinese social networking and microblogging site, Sina Weibo, to monitor an avian influenza A(H7N9) outbreak in China and to assess the value of social networking sites in the Leather Gloves surveillance of disease outbreaks that occur overseas.Two data sets were employed for our analysis: a li

Sensors are a Facial Cleanser key component in industrial automation systems.A fault or malfunction in sensors may degrade control system performance.An engineering system model is usually disturbed by input uncertainties, which brings a challenge for monitoring, diagnosis, and control.In this study, a novel estimation technique, called adaptive un

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) is an established surgical procedure for the treatment of corneal disorders such as corneal ectasia and keratoconus.This method of treatment stabilises the corneal structure and increases rigidity, reducing the requirement for corneal LEMON ZINGER transplantation.Since its development, many scientific studies have been c

This article presents a study of ongoing global and local changing practices by exploring the interaction between multimodal metaphor and narrative in advertising discourse.Thus, we make use of Conceptual Metaphor Day Cream Theory (CMT) and Conceptual Integration Theory to compare how social changes and continuities are represented and re-contextua

A numerical prediction method of cavitation erosion is proposed.In this method, the analysis of bubbles in cavitating flows is performed and the intensity of cavitation erosion is evaluated by the impact pressure induced by spherical bubble collapse.In the present study, two-dimensional cavitating flow around the Clark Y 11.7 % hydrofoil is used to
