In the 1930's, massive organized philanthropy and the "March of Dimes" brought public interest to a high pitch and maintained a charged emotional atmosphere.Prior to 1949, extensive research had not yet progressed far in conquering the disease. But then Enders' discovery of means for culturing ...
crisis in the case study crisis margina1 diminishing retums to sca1e in the quantitative qua1itative research debateThe quest for legitimation of research approaches preoccupies many information systems researchers. Researchers who have adopted various forms of "qualitative" research seem particularly ...
However, the relationship between biomass allocation strategies and root-shoot morphological characteristics of Saussurea salsa under different habitats in inland salt marshes is not clear. Given this, this paper took Saussurea salsa, a typical halophytic plant in inland salt marsh, as the research ...
Microbial communities in the subsea- floor depend on the supply of energy substrates and growth factors from the overlying surface world (that is, land and ocean) and/or the underlying lithosphere (that is, earth's crust and mantle). The significant abundance of microorganisms in the marine ...
This study aimed to quantify the extent to which organs at risk (OARs) are spared when using reduced margins in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods Two IMRT plans were regenerated for 40 patients with NPC based on two PTV margins, which were reduced or unchanged following...
Recently, many researchers started using machine learning and data-driven analysis methodolo- gies for disease diagnosis purposes, and significant amount of research efforts have been dedicated to diagnosis and progression prediction of neurodegenerative diseases using different brain imaging modalities3,18,...
Despite the permanent research activity in the belt, a small but critical area (framed in Fig.1A) of the Internal Zones remained unexplored since the late 1960’s. This area of the Cottian Alps (the southern part of the French-Italian Alps between the Torino and Cuneo transects) is crosse...
Thus, there is a need for a real-time, accurate, automated guidance tool that can be used during tumour resection intraoperatively to assure complete tumour removal in a single procedure. In this paper, we evaluate feasibility of a 3-dimensional scanner that relies on Raman Spectroscopy to ...
The tectonic evolution of Laxmi basin, presently located along western Indian passive margin, remains debated. Prevailing geodynamic models of Laxmi basin include two mutually competing hypotheses, culminating in either a hyper-stretched continental crus
