Due to the rich vitamin content in citrus fruit, citrus is an important crop around the world. However, the yield of these citrus crops is often reduced due to the damage of various pests and diseases. In order to mitigate these problems, several convolutional neural networks were applied to detect them. It is of note that the performance of these…[Read more]

This article provides an overview of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and other inherited neuropathies. These disorders encompass a broad spectrum with variable motor, sensory, autonomic, and other organ system involvement. Considerable overlap exists, both phenotypically and genetically, among these separate categories, all eventually exhibiting…[Read more]

Radiation therapy has benefited from many developments over the past 20 years. These developments are mainly linked to the technology, imaging and informatics evolutions which allow better targets definitions, ensure better organs-at-risk sparing and excellent reproducibility of treatments, with a perfect control of patient positioning. In breast…[Read more]

3391- and 0.0369- power outputs when it was excited by a rotary motion due to wireless mouse-wheel rotation and z -axis (direction of gravity entailing 0.5-g acceleration) -based vibration, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate excellent performance when compared to the test results of the well-known same active area and volume-based…[Read more]

Tunisia presented some differences regarding the item about the human rights of staff.

Satisfaction with the respect for the rights of users is strongly correlated with the other factors that are part of the concept of the organizational well-being of health care providers. The WWRR provides a means of measuring this important and often…[Read more]

Older children may have a higher risk of infection and increasing testing in intermediate and high school aged children may be indicated.

The lower proportion of tests positive in children less then 10 years of age suggests they are appropriately tested relative to their rates of disease. A large high school-associated cluster makes the higher…[Read more]

Candida albicans, a pervasive opportunistic pathogen, undergoes a unique phenotypic transition from a “white” phenotype to an “opaque” phenotype. The switch to opaque impacts gene expression, cell morphology, wall structure, metabolism, biofilm formation, mating, virulence, and colonization of the skin and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although the…[Read more]

Monitoring methods are largely chosen based on the type of light delivery to the target tissue. Interstitial methods of thermometry, such as thermocouples and fiber-optic sensors, are able to monitor temperature of the local tumor environment. However, these methods can be challenging if the phototherapy itself is interstitially administered.…[Read more]

Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and shows significant differences between the obtained results.Polydopamine has been widely used as an additive to enhance membrane fouling resistance. This study reports the effects of two-step dopamine-to-polydopamine modification on the permeation, antifouling, and potential anti-UV…[Read more]
