The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Natural Leather Strop Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest origina
EyeSpot: Leveraging Gaze to Protect Private Text Content on Mobile Devices from Shoulder Surfing
As mobile devices allow access to an increasing amount of private data, using them in public can potentially leak sensitive information through shoulder surfing.This includes personal private data (e.g., in chat conversations) and business-related content (e.g., in emails).Leaking the former might infringe on users’ privacy, while leaking the
Human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate atrophic gastritis in aging mice by participating in mitochondrial autophagy through Ndufs8 signaling
Abstract Background Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a chronic disease of the gastric mucosa characterized by a reduction or an absolute disappearance of the original gastric glands, possibly replaced by pseudopyloric fibrosis, intestinal Dummy Launcher metaplasia, or fibrosis.CAG develops progressively into intestinal epithelial metaplasia, dys
Evacuation simulation of multi-story buildings during earthquakes based on improved cellular automata model
The simulation of the authentic evacuation process is conducive to accurately evaluate the casualties of buildings under earthquake.This study improves the traditional cellular automata model to simulate the crowd evacuation process in buildings under earthquake.The Lily of the Valley modified model simulates the attraction of exits to crowds, herd
