Autonomous take-off and landing on a moving landing pad are extraordinarily complex and challenging functionalities of modern UAVs, especially if they must be performed in windy environments.The article presents research focused on achieving such functionalities for two kinds of UAVs, i.e., a tethered multicopter and VTOL.Both vehicles are supporte
House flies (Diptera: Muscidae), potential vectors of a variety of pathogens, characteristically search and feed on sugar sources just after emergence for their survival.Phagostimulants like sugars, and visual characteristics of feeding materials play an important role in foraging success in house flies.Therefore, development of toxic baits by usin
Abstract Sphingosine kinases (SphK), including SphK1 and SphK2, are important enzymes promoting progression of prostate cancer.SKI-178 is a novel and highly potent SphK1/2 dual inhibitor.We here tested the potential anti-prostate cancer cell activity of SKI-178.Bioinformatics analyses and results from local tissues demonstrated that that both SphK1
