At the Hotel Balzaar, Marta’s mother rises before the sun, puts on her uniform, and instructs Marta to roam as she will butquietly, invisibly—like a little mouse. While her mother cleans rooms, Marta slips down the back staircase to the grand lobby to chat with the bellman, study th...
In this study, an optical coherence tomographer (MS-39, CSO, Florence, Italy) was used to obtain measurements of the epithelial thickness (ET). The repeatability and reproducibility were evaluated to determine whether a change in a parameter's magnitude is the result of measurement error or a...
There are a number of limitations in our study. Firstly, as retrospective study, bias and confounders that are not identified cannot be addressed, and patients at the highest risk may be deemed too sick for maximal intervention and may be denied ICU treatment. Prediction of mortality was made ...
whereC=3. Similar to the encoder part of many existing convolutional networks, it is also a five-layer convolutional block. However, different from the standard UNet, each Block is reduced from 2 convolutions to 1 convolution, and the number of channels is reduced by 1/4, respectively 16, ...
4. Conclusion This study has demonstrated that microbial treatment is a very competitive approach for the cleaner production of diosgenin when an ideal strain and process are utilized. The novel process involving a prior LSEP has a dual aim: not only for better contact between the microorganisms ...
The purpose of the present study was to establish a new human osteosarcoma spontaneous metastasis model using orthotopic transplantation of histologically intact tumor tissue into the tibia of nude mice. Intact tumor pieces, obtained from the 32nd serial passage of subcutaneously growing human ...
The objective of this study was to develop an accessible and accurate analysis method for microplastics that have been unintentionally added to cream cosmetic products. An experiment was performed on three cleansing creams in rich and viscous formulation
Therefore, we aimed for a middle-ground between performance and computational cost, so that the analysis can be performed on consumer-grade computers. For the same reason, a complete retina is not analysed as a whole by RGCode, but is divided into tiles, of which the analysis results are ...
In the present study, to discover novel secondary metabolites, we chose to use an MS spectral database that contains unknown secondary metabolites that have not been identified but are unambiguously present in natural products. We introduced a new scoring system, the FCI, which grades the ...
We demonstrate in this study that indeed, the RGD-coated NP platform can specifically stain tumor-associated neovasculature and as a result can allow the localization and delineation of adjacent micrometastasis. Although the use of RGD-coated NPs have been previously described especially as a ...
