Abstract This paper reviews the recent advances on the high-performance distributed Brillouin optical fiber sensing, which include the conventional distributed Brillouin optical fiber sensing based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering and two other novel distributed sensing mechanisms based on Brillouin dynamic grating and forward stimulated

Abstract Real-time visualisation of chick embryo development occurring inside an opaque eggshell is a major goal of FENUGREEK - BLESSED THISTLE developmental biology.This goal was partially achieved when 3-day-old embryos recovered from fertilised shelled eggs, preincubated in a conventional incubator, hatched after the egg contents had been transf

Background/Objectives: Poxviruses are large DNA viruses that replicate in the host cytoplasm without a nuclear phase.As vaccine vectors, they can package and express large recombinant cassettes from different positions of their genomic core region.We present a comparison between wildtype modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) and isolate CR19, which Suctio

In order to achieve the study of the toponyms of this sub-Carpathian region, there were thoroughly analysed the topographic maps at the scale 1:100,000; there were emphasized more than 200 names, half of which making Road Studs reference to the landforms (oronyms) and the rest to water (hydronyms) and settlements (oiconyms).Many toponyms come from

Based on the example of 6Dg type diesel locomotives, the paper presents a new maintenance strategy concerning periodical checks at the P1 maintenance level.Currently, such locomotives are sent off to service points every 102 hours of operation or every 14 days for a P1 level check.Studies demonstrate that the average distance to be covered by a loc
