Initially, each sample of SD was placed in a fan-assisted oven at 105 °C for 1 h. Once removed from the oven and cooled, the first portion (ca. 1000 mg) of the material was taken to determine the volatile matter, whilst the second portion (ca. 1000 mg) was used to evaluate the...
The initially predicted mask is coupled with the input image, and it is fed into a second encoder–decoder network, which comprises of the recurrent residual convolutional layers and an attention gate module to predict the final improved segmentation mask and capture the additional contextual features...
Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit, obtained from the distillation of fermented agave juices. Its preparation has been conducted for centuries in an artisanal manner. The method used to determine the correct alcohol content is of particular interest:
Nonetheless, in a closed vessel, the acceleration in H2 partial pressure constrains the conversion of formate. However, in an open system, continuously releasing pure hydrogen at a constant pressure ensures theoretical unit conversions and enhances system efficiency. Although low temperatures and high ...
total petroleum hydrocarbons were detected at the marina up to ca. 6 mg/L. This study gives new insights into broadening FWI application to the saline environments of port marinas and to supporting a management strategy to promote several ecosystem services such biodiversity, species habitat, water...
Initially, we were concerned about opening the pleural cavity and had devised methods to prevent it.1 When the pleural cavity was opened inadvertently, this was through a small opening in the pleura, and there was a stable period of about 5 to 6 minutes before respiratory distress and ...
The first antiviral IFN-stimulated pathway studied in detail initially for myxovirus (Influenza) infections,Mx, was discovered in 1978 by Lindenmann and colleagues; they observed that some mice were spontaneously resistant to influenza virus replication and later showed that Mx had GTPase activity (Li...
These findings indicate RCA I preferentially binds to and is internalized by tumor endothelial cells, which leads to VEGFR-2 down-regulation, endothelial cell apoptosis, and tumor vessel regression. Together, the results illustrate the selective impact of RCA I on VEGF signaling in tumor blood ...
Heat stroke (HS) is a fatal disease caused by thermal damage in the body, and it has a very high mortality rate. In 2015, the People’s Liberation Army Professional Committee of Critical Care Medicine published the first expert consensus on HS in China, Expert consensus on standardized diagno...
(IN8) using histochemical staining. Toluidine blue-O and phloroglucinol-HCl were used to stain lignin while calcofluor white was used to stain cellulose in xylem vessel elements. Because the vascular bundles in IN2 comprised mainly of primary xylem and phloem tissues that were formed from pro...
