Abstract Light armored vehicles, as the primary means of force transport on contemporary battlefields, require not only high mobility but also better protection to meet the complex battlefield environment and mission requirements. Composite armor is widely used in the design of light armored vehicles due to its lightweight and excellent defensible performance. In this paper, the damage law of the composite armor of an infantry fighting vehicle, when penetrated by fragment-simulated projectiles (FSP), is studied by numerical simulation, and the homogeneous equivalent targets surrogating a combination of local protective armor and vulnerable parts are constructed based More >

Abstract The concentration of cell-free fetal DNA fragments should be detected before noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). The fetal DNA molecules have significant clinical potential in determining the overall performance of NIPT and clinical interpretation. It is important to measure fetal DNA fraction before NIPT. However, there is still little research on how to calculate the concentration of female fetuses. Two estimation approaches were proposed to calculate fetal DNA fraction, including the fragments size-based approach, aneuploid-based approach, which are all approaches based on chromosome segments. Based on high-throughput sequencing data, two approaches to calculate the DNA fraction More >

Abstract The explosive Engineering field is a costly one in which not every organization can effort the time and money it takes to performed field tests on its explosives. The purpose of this article is to present a program that was developed in the Israeli Navy for performance estimations and safety issues of warheads and explosives. With a relative small developing time one can create a tool that gives preliminary results in a few minutes without the need to design and order a field tests or run finite elements analyses. By implementing a few known models, More >

Abstract We sampled the diversity of trees and shrubs, and built the rarefaction and accumulation species curve in 10 native forest fragments in southern Chile. Results indicated that: (1) there were 23 species in all sampled fragments, (2) species richness increased significantly with fragment size, (3) all fragments require a minimal sampling from 40 to 170 individuals to reach the maximum theoretical species richness, and (4) sampling richness was greater than that theoretically expected (20 species).
