This study consists of 14 items that assess various aspects of health literacy, such as understanding, accessing, and using dental health information, and the questions are in the form of a 5-point Likert scale. Scores were calculated by assigning 0 to the “no problem” response and 4 to ...
The material models used to form beam and truss elements are nonlinear models. The Concrete02 and steel02 models are employed for the concrete and reinforcing bars, respectively. Figure 3 depicts the illustrative modeling of the RCB wall using BTM. The concrete02 and steel02 models are shown ...
Later, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said that one of the victims was “Mohammed Mahdi Ali Shahin, a Hezbollah operative responsible for acquiring combat equipment along the Syrian-Lebanese border since the Israel-Lebanon agreements came into effect.” He added: “Shahin was one of the...
Higher chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 5 (CXCL5) level was observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients; however, its role in diabetic vasculopathy was not clarified. This study aimed to explore the impacts and mechanistic insights of CXCL5 in neovasc
An electronic nose (e-nose) is an instrument that has been developed as a simplified "electronic" model of the human olfactory system. To humans, the sensation of flavour is due to three main chemoreceptor systems. These are gustation (sense of taste by tongue), olfaction (sense of smell ...
Although the majority of cases are attributed to F. hepatica, human infections with F. gigantica are also present in many countries [4–6]. In the Nile Delta of Egypt, beside the two species, a third intermediate form of Fasciola sp. has been identified [3] using molecular approaches [7...
[38,76]. Tumor-derived exosomes are linked to invadopodia, which are responsible for initiating invasion by breaking down the extracellular matrix [77]. Exosomal contents have the ability to enhance the spread of cancer to other parts of the body and transmit the ability to form new tumors to...
between AD and VCID is less clear-cut. Dementia pathologies often overlap, with more than half of dementia patients having multiple pathologies [10], a condition known as mixed dementia (MxD). The most common form of MxD is a mix of AD and VCID, as this occurs in ~ 70% of AD...
USSs are involved innatural competence, which is a genetically controlled form of horizontal gene transfer in some bacterial species, related to their ability to take up DNA from the surrounding environment (reviewed in [28]). This process allows genetic exchange in bacteria, which is the only ...
(e.g., more than one hundred SNPs), the optimal solution form> 2 can not be found within a reasonable period of time. The experimental result indicates that all algorithms find similar number of robust tag SNPs whenmis small. The LP-relaxation algorithm slightly outperforms the others asm...
