Radio Science, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract In this paper, we present a review and classification of the published works on the use of Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR)‐based methods to locate landmines. Different approaches for landmine localization using EMTR are investigated. Specifically, the classical time‐domain EMTR, iterative EMTR, EMTR‐DORT (Décomposition de l’Opérateur du ...

Senolytic Therapy Enabled by Senescent Cell‐Sensitive Biomimetic Melanin Nano‐Senolytics
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 23, September 13, 2024.A “double lock and key” switchable nanoplatform that responds to senescent cells is developed. The release of dasatinib and quercetin within senescent cells is opened by the activation of β‐galactosidase, low pH, and photothermal therapy, thereby selectively killing senescent cells. This approach has been shown to reverse pulmonary fibrosis and prevent

Open government and US development co‐operation in Colombia: Lessons for locally led development
Development Policy Review, Volume 42, Issue 5, September 2024.Abstract Motivation “Localization”—direct donor support for national organizations in aid recipient countries—has become a top priority for international development. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) pledged to raise the proportion of direct funding to national organizations to 25% and for 50% of funding to involve ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 1214-1235, August 2024.Abstract Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (e.g. pioglitazone and rosiglitazone), known insulin sensitiser agents for type II diabetes mellitus, exhibit controversial effects on cardiac tissue. Despite consensus on their association with increased heart failure risk, limiting TZD use in diabetes management, the underlying mechanisms remain uncharacterised ...

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 482-489, August 2024.Abstract Borehole ground‐penetrating radar (BGPR) measurements allow for the detection of objects and structures in the subsurface and are often applied to the detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). If omnidirectional borehole antennas in reflection mode are used for the measurement, the localization of UXO is only possible if the data from a ...

Service Robots and Humanitarian Demining [PDF]
, 2006 The major technical challenge facing the detection of individual mine, is having the ability to discriminate landmines from metal debris, natural clutters and other objects without the need for vegetation cutting. Future efforts to improve detection should focus on providing a discrimination capability that includes the fusion of information coming ...
