Conditions in the ionosphere have become increasingly important to forecast, since more and more spaceborne and ground-based technological systems rely on ionospheric weather.Here we explore the feasibility of ionospheric forecasts with the current generation of read more physics-based models.In particular, we focus on total electron content (TEC)
Anytime Coalition Structure Generation in Multi-Agent Systems With Positive or Negative Externalities
Much of the literature on multi-agent coalition formation has focused on Characteristic Function Games, where the effectiveness of a coalition is not affected by how the other agents are arranged in the system.In contrast, very little attention has been given to the more general class of Partition Function Games, where the emphasis is on how the fo
Technological Application of Tannin-Based Extracts
Tannins are polyphenolic compounds naturally found in vegetables.Their presence in nature has prompted their historical use in many different ways.The revision of their traditional utilization has allowed their further modification aiming for an industrial application.Sometimes these modifications have implied the addition of harmful substances suc
Biomass burning fuel consumption dynamics in the tropics and subtropics assessed from satellite
Landscape fires occur on a large scale in (sub)tropical savannas and grasslands, affecting ecosystem dynamics, regional air quality and concentrations of atmospheric trace gasses.Fuel consumption per unit of area burned is an important but poorly constrained parameter in fire emission modelling.We combined satellite-derived burned area with fire ra
Cyanide toxicity to Burkholderia cenocepacia is modulated by polymicrobial communities and environmental factors
Microbes within polymicrobial communities can establish positive and negative interactions that have the potential to influence the overall behaviour of the community.Pseudomonas aeruginosa and species of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) can co-exist tourettebrewing.com in the lower airways, however several studies have shown that P.aeruginos
