The TITAN facility at TRIUMF has recently initiated a program of performing decay spectroscopy measurements in an electron-beam fleshlight automatique ion-trap (EBIT).The unique environment of the EBIT provides backingfree storage of the radioactive ions, while guiding charged decay particles from the trap centre via the strong magnetic field.This

gymnastics wall decals The light/dark transition test (LDT) is one of the most widely used tests to measure anxiety-like behavior in mice.The test is based on the natural aversion of mice to brightly illuminated areas and on their spontaneous exploratory behavior in response to mild stressors, such as novel environment and light.This test is also s

Linkage mapping is one of the most commonly used methods to identify genetic loci that determine a trait.However, the loci identified by linkage mapping may contain hundreds of candidate genes and require a time-consuming and labor-intensive fine mapping process to find the causal gene controlling the trait.With the availability of a rich assortmen

The next frontier of maritime networking will see the deployment of large-scale buoy-based mesh networks, with an equal emphasis on both high-speed data transfer and energy-efficiency.One such challenging application is the operation of maritime seismic surveys for oil/gas exploration and academic studies.Large amounts of seismic data are generated
