Plants have evolved various self-defense mechanisms against insect feeding.There are many reports regarding both direct and indirect defense mechanisms in seed-plant.However, only direct defenses on ferns were considered and the indirect defense mechanism has never been reported.In this study, it was observed that the fern Hypolepis punctata can at
Robust Real-Time Cancer Tracking via Dual-Panel X-Ray Images for Precision Radiotherapy
Respiratory-induced tumor motion presents a critical challenge in lung cancer radiotherapy, potentially impacting treatment precision and Microwave / Oven Globe efficacy.This study introduces an innovative, deep learning-based approach for real-time, markerless lung tumor tracking utilizing orthogonal X-ray projection images.It incorporates three k

This paper aims to discuss the surveillance practices, with the help of big data, especially after the revelations of Edward Snowden in 2013.It aims to analyze the acting of European Union in relation to the cybersecurity, besides to Carpenter expose and discuss any existing strategies in Mercosur to face these problems, which will culminate with t
More than Ten Years of DOTS in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Directly Observed Therapy Short-course (DOTS) is composed of five distinct elements: political commitment, case detection through quality-assured bacteriology; drug supplies; surveillance and monitoring systems and use of highly efficacious regimens; and direct observation of treatment.DOTS produces cure rates of up to 95 percent even in the poores
Mucociliary transport deficiency and disease progression in Syrian hamsters with SARS-CoV-2 infection
Substantial clinical evidence supports the notion that ciliary function in the airways is important in COVID-19 pathogenesis.Although ciliary damage has been observed in both in vitro and in vivo models, the extent or nature of impairment of mucociliary transport (MCT) in in vivo models remains unknown.We hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 infection resul
