Relation of Well Yields to Fracture Patterns and Lineaments in the Rolesville Batholith, Wake County, North Carolina
… is 10°-15° (8.67 %). The computer program ENVI was used to identify a total of 2362 lineaments on aerial photographs of the same geographic area where the fractures were located in the field study. The rose diagram of these land-surface lineaments also supports the E-W trend (90° ± 5°) …

Tumor-Specific STING Agonist Synthesis via a Two-Component Prodrug System
… dimers under mild conditions and in complex envi- ronments. Caging one of the reactants with a self-immolative 𝛽-glucuronide moiety resulted in a two-component prodrug system that near-exclusively formed the active compounds in tumors overexpressing 𝛽-glucuronidase. These results exemplify …

Visual Speech Recognition Using a 3D Convolutional Neural Network
… of 100 spoken words, recorded in an uncontrolled envi- ronment. Our 3D-CNN architecture achieves a testing accuracy of 64%, comparable with recent works, but using an input data size that is up to 75% smaller. Overall, our research shows that 3D-CNNs can be successful in finding spatial-temporal …

Textural Analysis of Historical Aerial Photography to Determine Change In Coastal Marsh Extent: Site of the Present-Day Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR), Mississippi, 1955-2014
… the Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix procedure (ENVI v X.X). A Maximum-Likelihood classification of the textural parameters to vegetation type was derived based on ground control point data. A change detection analysis then was applied among years. Preliminary results suggest that a net loss of …

SOCIOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF TAX EVASION: AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE ITALIAN CASE
… I measured tax behaviour in an incentivised envi ronment that mimicked the tax system in Italy. Taken together, the results of the three empirical studies show that social norms are key to explain tax evasion in Italy. In other words, when deciding whether to pay their taxes, individuals are …

UV-CURABLE PROTECTIVE COATING FOR THE INNER SURFACE OF STEEL PIPES
In recent years, the urgency of environmental and health protection regulations has significantly intensified the search for new, environmentally friendly anticorrosive coatings in heavy industry. While waterborne, high solids or powder coatings have emerged as alternatives, solvent-borne coat-ings …
