Experimental Models of COVID-19
COVID-19 is the most consequential pandemic of the 21st century.Since the earliest stage of the 2019-2020 epidemic, animal models have been useful in understanding the etiopathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and rapid development of vaccines/drugs to prevent, treat or eradicate SARS-CoV-2 infection.Early SARS-CoV-1 research using immortalized in-v
Tightly-Coupled SLAM Integrating LiDAR and INS for Unmanned Vehicle Navigation in Campus Environments
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the key issues for mobile robots to achieve true autonomy.The implementations of SLAM could rely on a variety of sensors.Among many types of them, the laser-based SLAM approach is widely used owing to its high accuracy, even in poor lighting conditions.However, when in structure-less environmen
Zeeman effect in atmospheric O2 measured by ground-based microwave radiometry
In this work we study the Zeeman effect on stratospheric O2 using ground-based microwave radiometer measurements.The interaction of the Earth magnetic field with the oxygen dipole leads to a splitting of O2 energy states, which polarizes the emission spectra.A special campaign was carried out in order to measure this effect in the oxygen emission l
Including the public in pandemic planning: a deliberative approach
Abstract Background Against a background of pandemic threat posed by SARS and avian H5N1 influenza, this study used deliberative forums to elucidate informed community perspectives on aspects of pandemic planning.Methods Two deliberative forums were carried out with members of the South Australian community.The forums were supported by a qualitativ
