Experimental models provide a deeper understanding of the different pathogenic mechanisms involved in Demyelinating disorders. The development of new in vitro and in vivo models or variations of existing models will contribute to a better understanding of these diseases and their treatment. Experimental models help to extrapolate information on trea…
The relationships between the ultraviolet (UV) absorbance at 254 nm and the concentration of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in bulk deposition, throughfall, forest floor solution, and soil solution in 10 cm (A-horizons), 30 cm, and 70 cm (both Bg-horizons) depths of three forested sites in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany, were investigated over …
Recurrent pregnancy loss, one of the crucial reproductive health concerns affecting 6% of couples. Clinically recognized pregnancy loss is familiar, occurring in approximately 15-25% cases of pregnancy. The most common cause of recurrent pregnancy loss is cytogenetic anomaly, antiphospholipid antibody, metabolic and hormonal disorders. However, appr…
Many image processing techniques use binarization for object detection in images, where the objects and background are well distinct by their brightness values, where, the threshold level is globally assigned, on the other hand, if it's adaptive, the threshold level is locally calculated. In order to determine the optimal binarization threshold, fro…
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a clinical condition related to prolonged and irreversible loss of renal function. In addition to many others, it is associated with various disorders of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus metabolism which usually appears early in the course of the condition. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a characteristic finding …
The field of brachial plexus surgery has undergone dramatic changes in the past 40 years. Most of these have been incremental in nature. We have seen increased use of nerve grafts and nerve transfers. We have seen the introduction of robotic limb replacements for the most severe flail limbs where surgical intervention has failed. In some cases, we …
Generally, soil characteristics have a significant influence on landslide occurrence. This issue has, however, not yet been adequately analysed in Kigezi highlands of South Western Uganda. In this study, soil properties such as dispersion, grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, shear strength and clay mineralogy were analysed to establish their …
As with many other human diseases, oxidative stress is implicated in many neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and Alzheimer's disease. Due to high oxygen consumption and a lipid-rich environment, the brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress or redox imbalance. Both increased production of reactive…
The characterization of irradiance variability needs tools to describe and quantify variability at different time scales in order to optimally integrate PV onto electrical grids. Recently in the literature, a metric called nominal variability defines the intradaily variability by the ramp rate's variance. Here we will concentrate on the quantificati…
Gravity survey and interpretations play a very vital role more especially in petroleum prospecting. Spectral analysis of gravity anomaly has been successful in the estimation of sedimentary basement. Spectral analysis technique can be used in designing filter for the residual and region separation of complete Bouguer anomaly. The residual gravity an…
