Calcium phosphates (CaPs) have been widely used in the field of biomedical engineering as bone graft substitutes or as carriers for drug delivery applications.Recent developments have focused on combining CaPs with proteins to obtain functional biomaterials that accommodate a broader spectrum of functional requirements.Silk sericin was considered a
A Modified Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Levy Flight and Double-Archive Mechanism
In the past few decades, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) has increasingly attracted attention from scientists.To obtain a set of more accurate TV Tuner Cards and well-distributed solutions, many variations of multi-objective PSO algorithms have been proposed.However, for complicated multi-objective problems, existing multi-objecti
Feeding ecology of pine shoot beetles (Tomicus spp.) in tree crowns of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands under one-year outbreak
Studies were carried out in southern Poland during 2002-2006 in Scots pine stands under the effect of an outbreak of pine shoot beetles.The qualitative aspects of beetle feeding in tree crowns, studied on the basis of fallen shoots collected on experimental plots, are presented in this paper.The beetle numbers affected the age distribution of damag
Creating the E-Buzz around Collaborative and Collective DEI Efforts
Like many academic libraries, the Leatherby Libraries at Chapman University (USA) is committed to supporting and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for students, faculty, researchers, and staff and has increased its efforts in the last several years to reflect that commitment through its resources, services, and outreach activities.Ho
