Bridges are often at risk due to the effects of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and typhoons.Bridge inspection assessments normally focus on cracks.However, numerous concrete structures with cracked surfaces are highly elevated or over water, and is not easily accessible to a bridge inspector.Furthermore, poor lighting under bridges and a co
Motorized transport is one of the main contributors to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which cause global warming.Other emissions, like nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide, are detrimental to human health.A prominent way to understand and thus be able to minimize emissions is by using traffic simulations to evaluate different scenarios.In that way, on
The births of domestic dogs with pigment deletion and associated congenital hearing and/or vision impairments are increasing, as a result of mutations of certain genes expressing popular coat colour patterns (Merle, piebald, Irish spotting).The future of these dogs is often pessimistic (early euthanasia or placement in rescues/fosters, lack of inte
Sequence files formats (FASTA and FASTQ) are commonly used in bioinformatics, molecular biology and biochemistry.With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) Food Coloring technologies, the number of FASTQ datasets produced and analyzed has grown exponentially, urging the development of dedicated software to handle, parse, and manipulate suc
