The micromorphological characteristics of the pollen grain sculpture is one of the most important diagnostic traits in plants.Pollen grains in various species of the subfamily Prunoideae are characterized by variations in size, shape and exine sculpture.In the present work, for the first time, the micromorphology of pollen grains of fourteen cultiv

The richness and ambiguity of architectural design are inherent in the approximation and freedom of individual design attitudes, where the essence of the imaginative realm is depicted by a creative design process that proceeds through a variety of levels but evolves from a playful intention.While the notion of play resembles the driving force in th

Recent years, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) has been highly developed and widely used.Among various ADAS techniques adaptive cruise control (ACC) is the fundamental of longitudinal control.The tradeoffs among safety, comfort and traffic efficiency are the main issue in ACC design process.In this study, large amount of road tests was carr

The shipbuilding design rules require several criteria for the assessment of any Camera Cleaning Kit floating structure.For this technical paper, a 23000 t off-shore barge is assessed by oblique waves global strength criteria.Two barge concepts are evaluated, with the main changes of breadth and draught.Focusing on the preliminary analysis that inv
