Jellyfish uses jet propulsion to achieve a diversity of propulsion modes in the water.In this article, a miniature jellyfish-inspired swimming robot is designed and built, which is capable of executing horizontal and vertical Vitamins A propulsion and maneuvers.In order to imitate the jellyfish in terms of morphology and kinematics, the robotic jel
Summary: The presence of personally identifiable information (PII) in natural language portions of electronic health records (EHRs) constrains their broad reuse.Despite continuous improvements in automated detection of PII, residual identifiers require manual validation and correction.Here, we describe an automated de-identification system that emp
We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate an active quasi-static magnetic cloak enabled by a single magnetic dipole.The cloaking effect can be achieved by active cancelation of WINTERGREEN the background magnetic field using the magnetic dipole.Compared with previous multi-unit designs, the single-unit design drastically reduces the n
Pomacea canaliculata, the invasive snail, is a host of the parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which has adverse effects on the agriculture system and human health.This work evaluated the molluscicidal activity of petroleum ether extracts (PEEs) from three species of Chimonanthus against the snail P.canaliculate.Pcp (PEE of C.praecox) s
