LOCALIZATION OF TWO SOUND SOURCES BASED ON COMPRESSED MATCHED FIELD PROCESSING WITH A SHORT HYDROPHONE ARRAY IN THE DEEP OCEAN

Localization of Two Sound Sources Based on Compressed Matched Field Processing with a Short Hydrophone Array in the Deep Ocean

Passive multiple sound source localization is a challenging problem in underwater acoustics, especially for a short hydrophone array in the deep ocean.Several attempts have been made to solve this problem by applying compressive sensing (CS) techniques.In this study, one greedy algorithm in CS theory combined with a spatial filter was developed and

Rapid development of thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma despite transcervical thymectomy in a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1

Thymic neuroendocrine (NE) tumors are a rare manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN-1).They are malignant and aggressive tumors and form a major cause of mortality in MEN-1.Transcervical thymectomy (TCT) at the time of parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in MEN-1 usually prevents thymic NE tumors.W

From arsenic to DDT: Pesticides, Fascism and the invisibility of toxic risks in the early years of Francoist Spain (1939-1953)

This paper reviews the way in which Spanish agriculture climbed onto the pesticide treadmill.We claim that Fascist policies and expert advice assembled in the early 1940s accelerated the introduction of pesticides into Spanish agriculture and promoted the emergence of the Spanish pesticide industry in the times of autarky.Agricultural engineers wer
