Factors influencing the occurrence of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections are still far from fully understood.Recent studies described the existence of specific microbiomes in body sites previously considered microbiome-free, unravelling new microbial pathways in the human body.In the present study, we analyzed the peritoneum of end-stage k

Expression recognition in the wild is easily distorted by nonfrontal and asymmetry faces.In nonfrontal faces, some areas are compressed and distorted.Even after frontalization, these compressed areas may still be blurred and distort expression recognition.Additionally, asymmetrical expressions are common on half or here local face areas and produce

This study investigates the impact of fly ash on hydration and carbonation processes in carbonation-cured fly here ash cements.Cement paste samples with fly ash replacement levels of 0 %, 5 %, 10 % and 30 % underwent carbonation curing for 28 days.Results reveal that the CaO content does not affect the final CO2 absorption capacity.Instead, optimal

Objective: It is important to improve caregiving skills to help reduce the strain on inexperienced caregivers.Previous studies on quantifying caregiving skills have predominantly relied on expensive equipment, such as motion-capture systems with multiple infrared cameras or acceleration sensors.To overcome the cost and space limitations of existing

Abstract Background Microarray devices permit a genome-scale evaluation of gene function.This technology has catalyzed biomedical research and development in recent years.As many important diseases can be traced down to the gene level, a long-standing research problem is to identify specific gene expression patterns linking to metabolic characteris
