Drought stress influences plant growth and development affecting some physiological processes during the growing cycle.The improvement of the drought stress resistance of the plant will allow the reduction of the water requirements of the crops, representing the new frontier for agriculture, as consequence of the ongoing climatic changes.The indivi

Vehicle-following operation is a typical scenario in the future intelligent transportation environment.Keeping a safe distance is the most important goal in the vehicle-following scenario.For a plug-in hybrid electric bus (PHEB) running in a candy button strips specific urban route, the challenge will become how to realize the optimal power split i

Gene expression patterns in developing organisms are established by groups of cross-regulating target genes that are driven by morphogen gradients.As development progresses, morphogen activity is reduced, leaving the emergent pattern without stabilizing positional cues and at risk of rapid deterioration due to the inherently noisy biochemical proce
