ABSTRACT The evolution of phage resistance poses an inevitable threat to the efficacy of phage therapy.The strategic selection of phage combinations that impose high genetic barriers to resistance and/or high compensatory fitness costs may mitigate this threat.However, for such a strategy to be effective, the evolution of phage resistance must be s
Resources in a real-world automated manufacturing system may be unreliable, thus paralyzing many existing deadlock control strategies.This paper defines robust legal markings and proposes a two-step robust deadlock control policy for systems of the simple sequential process with resources based on elementary siphons.The first step, called elementar
Background: African development evaluation stakeholders express discontent with Euro-American evaluation methodologies and advocate for formulating evaluation theories and approaches rooted in African wisdom and values.Objectives: This article focuses on generating wisdom and philosophical insights from Swahili proverbs, constructing a robust philo
Laser butt welding of thin metal sheets is a widely used fusion-based joining technique in industrial manufacturing.A comprehensive understanding of the complex transport phenomena during the welding process is essential for achieving high-quality welds.In the present work, high-fidelity numerical simulations Drawing Tablet are employed to investig
