A hazard and vulnerability assessment of coastal erosion is an essential first step for planning and decision-making, because it is part of risk management and its results are in the form of easily interpreted traffic-light maps.For the analysis of the assessment in this work, a methodology is proposed which considers three components for both haza
We Boombox explore the estimation of a two-dimensional (2D) nonsymmetric coherently distributed (CD) source using L-shaped arrays.Compared with a symmetric source, the modeling and estimation of a nonsymmetric source are more practical.A nonsymmetric CD source is established through modeling the deterministic angular signal distribution function as
The protective effect of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench polysaccharide for Bifidobacterium longum MYL16 pca mcc from freeze-drying and digestive processes was investigated.Our results indicated after freeze-drying, the log (CFU/g) of B.longum MYL16 without protectant decreased from 10.52 to 4.98, while supplementation of 20% polysaccharide with
