Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease and stroke, the two major causes of death in developed society.There is emerging evidence of excess risk of cardiovascular disease at low radiation doses in various occupationally exposed groups receiving small daily radiation doses.Assuming that they are causal, the mechanisms for effects
Solar cells micro crack detection technique using state-of-the-art electroluminescence imaging
In this article, we present the development of a novel technique that is used to enhance the detection of micro cracks in solar cells.Initially, the output image of a conventional electroluminescence (EL) system is determined and reprocessed using the binary and discreet Fourier transform Home - Blankets (DFT) image processing models.The binary ima
Supratrochlear artery
Introduction.The supratrochlear artery (STA) is a small vessel with a relatively tiny and quite constant course.The literature describing the STA fails to provide a collective description of the anatomy and neurosurgical applications of the STA.Therefore, we are here to present an overview of anatomy, anatomical variability, and the clinical applic
Acinetobacter baumannii Genes Required for Bacterial Survival during Bloodstream Infection
ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a leading global multiple-antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogen.The identity of genes essential for pathogenesis in a mammalian host remains largely unknown.Using transposon-directed insertion-site sequencing (TraDIS), we identified A.baumannii genes involved in bacterial survival in a leukopenic m
