The usefulness of compression anastomotic clips (CAC) for small bowel anastomosis in animals was evaluated.Implants made of nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) in the form Toddler Sunglasses of elliptical double-coil springs with one-way and two-way shape memory were applied.The studied animals were subjected to jejunal resection and side-to-side bowel an

Two climatically different areas on granitic materials near Phalaborwa and Pretoriuskop in the Kruger National Park were pedogeomorphologically compared and the influence of climatic factors on soil and hillslope development in the two areas was assessed.The examination of 18 hillslopes and their soils showed that while the two areas have many broa

Metasurfaces, ultrathin two-dimensional arrays Ski de fond - Homme - Vetements - Manteau of artificially engineered meta-atoms, can impart spatially varying changes towards the incident electromagnetic wave and provide versatile functionalities once unprecedented in sub-wavelength thick natural materials.The wavefront manipulation by metasurfaces u

In the motion control of AUVs, especially those driven by multiple thrusters, the thruster misalignment and thrust loss cause the actual force and moment applied to the AUV to deviate from that desired, making accurate and fast motion control difficult.This paper proposes a sliding mode control method with dual-observer estimation for the AUV 3D mo
