The Lembata region is known for complex environmental conflicts between local institutions and external interests to protect endangered species such as the dugong and sperm whale.In this paper, we examine how the Tokajaeng community applies traditional rules (muro) in the face of environmental threats to the commons, such as depletion of forests an

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have found a wide range of useful applications in society over the past few years, but there has also been a growth in the Collars use of UAVs for malicious purposes.One way to manage this issue is to allow reporting of malicious UAVs (e.g., through a smartphone application) with the report including a phot

Tinkering with pre-existing genes has long been known as a major way to create new genes.Recently, however, motherless protein-coding genes have been found to have emerged de novo from Jigsaw Puzzle (Chipboard Material) ancestral non-coding DNAs.How these genes originated is not well addressed to date.Here we identified 24 hominoid-specific de novo

Following the stimulating discussions in the workshops held during the 9th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering (MEDI 2019), we proposed to edit a special issue compiling the fruitful research resulting from those discussions.This special issue on current research in model and data engineering of the Journal of Universal Computer

In case of torsion in buildings, additional earthquake forces affect the structure and internal forces and displacements increases.For this reason, it is important to place the Shoes - Sneakers bearing systems in the plan as much as possible to reduce the torsion effect.To minimize torsion effects, the center of mass and center of rigidity should b
