Taking the one-year-old T. chinensis (Tamarix chinensis Lour.) in Yellow River Delta as the study object, the variations of C, N and P stoichiometry in T. chinensis under drought stress was studied using pot experiments. The...
PURPOSE: The B-MaP-C study investigated changes to breast cancer care that were necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we present a follow-up analysis of those patients commenced on bridging endocrine therapy (BrET), whilst...
The problems of image mining and semantic image retrieval play an important role in many areas of life. In this paper, a semantic-based image retrieval system is proposed that relies on the combination of C-Tree, which was built...
Michael Vertin is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Study of Religion, and Theology at St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto. He is a longtime student of Lonergan’s work and has edited four volumes of studies by...
In this article, a hybrid method is proposed to solve the uncapacitated planar multi-facility location problems. The new hybrid method consists of a combination of the Revised Weighted Fuzzy C-Means (RWFCM) algorithm proposed by...
In this paper, a hybrid approach using sliding window mechanism followed by fuzzy c means clustering is proposed for the automated brain tumour extraction. The proposed method consists three phases. The first phase is used for...
Previous studies have explored the use of real-time visual spectral feedback with adult and teenage singers. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the perceptions of children (N=54), ages 7 to 13 years...
An uncapacitated multisource Weber problem involves finding facility locations for known customers. When this problem is restated as finding locations for additional new facilities, while keeping the current facilities, a new...
Androstenedione is a natural steroid hormone and endocrine disruptor. Batch and laboratory microcosm experiments and studies were conducted to investigate its adsorption and degradation in three soils. The Freundlichparameter Kf...
While business models transformed how we describe organizations, the authors apply equivalent modeling to describe industries. Specifically, the authors propose and implement a structured industry model development process...
Mammogram segmentation utilizing multi-region of intrigue is a standout amongst the most rising exploration territory in the medical image analysis. The steps engaged with the research are grouped into two kinds: 1) segmentation...
In this study, the integrated modified whale optimization and modified fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm using morphological operations are developed and implemented for appropriate knowledge extraction of a cyst from computer...
Bringing a safe and effective pharmaceutical product or medical device to market requires an astonishing amount of time and money. This research features interviews with the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Scientific...
The calibrated matrix of the second-order difference of the pitch delay (C-MSDPD) feature has been proven to be effective in detecting steganography based on pitch delay. In this article, a new steganalysis scheme based on...
The authors designed an automated framework to segment tumors with various image sequences like T1, T2, and post-processed MRI multimodal images. Contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization method is used for preprocessing...
Network lifetime and energy constraint are the main issues for the application of wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes spend more energy in the communication process and affect the network lifetime. Clustering is the technique...
Gait is a vital biometric process for human identification in the domain of machine learning. In this article, a new method is implemented for human gait recognition based on accurate segmentation and multi-level features...
Applications of participatory mapping (PMapping) and PGIS to the mapping of local spatial knowledge are expanding; therefore, updated ethics and good practice improvements are needed. The intention here is to secern, or...
Worldwide national surveys show a rising mental health burden among children and adolescents (C&A) during COVID-19. The objective of the current study is to verify the expected rise in visits to psychiatric...
Learning a second language is challenging for anyone worldwide. When trying to learn a second language in a remote area of the world or under circumstances that do not allow for face-to-face learning, it becomes even more...
