In this paper a new technique for the detection of fog Vinegars and low stratus in 1 km resolution from MSG SEVIRI data is presented.The method relies on the pan-sharpening of 3 km narrow-band channels using the 1 km high-resolution visible (HRV) channel.As solar and thermal channels had to be sharpened for the technique, a new approach based on an

A minimal model of cellular mechanosensing system that consists of a single stress fiber adhering on a substrate via two focal adhesions made of catch bonds is adopted to investigate the phenomena of cell reorientation on substrates induced by an applied uniaxial cyclic stretch.The model indicates that the catch bonds in the focal adhesions experie
