Sharks are the preferred scraping surface for large pelagic fishes: Possible implications for parasite removal and fitness in a changing ocean

Mutualistic and commensal interactions can have significant positive impacts on animal fitness and survival.However, behavioural interactions between pelagic animals living in offshore oceanic environments are little studied.Parasites can negatively effect the fitness of their hosts by draining resources and diverting energy from growth, reproducti

Matlab Open Source Code: Noise-Assisted Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition Based Causal Decomposition for Causality Inference of Bivariate Time Series

Causality inference has arrested much attention in academic studies.Currently, multiple methods such as Granger causality, Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM), and Noise-assisted Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (NA-MEMD) are introduced to solve the problem.Motivated by the researchers who uploaded the open-source code for causality inference,

Effects of Sample and Indenter Configurations of Nanoindentation Experiment on the Mechanical Behavior and Properties of Ductile Materials

The nanoindentation test is frequently used as an alternate method to obtain the mechanical properties of ductile materials.However, due to the lack of information about the effects of Evaporative Coolers the sample and indenter physical configurations, the accuracy of the extracted material properties in nanoindentation tests requires further eval
