Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this study, we assessed and compared ...

A two-dimensional direction-of-arrival estimation scheme based on Bayesian-regularized (BR) Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) is developed around a unit acoustic vector sensor (AVS). The AVS ...

Most researchers consider the action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups leaving out non-maximal subgroupsCq+1. In this paper, we consider the action ofPGL (2, ) centralizer of an elliptic ...
