Introduction : Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive method of imaging that measures the mechanical properties of tissues to provide additional information for differentiation of benign and malignant tumors.Methods & Materials : This process typically involves the application of an external excitation to a tissue and measuring the
Abstract Background Socially assistive devices (care robots, companions, smart screen assistants) have been advocated as a promising tool in elderly care in Western healthcare systems.Ethical debates ardell soft touch 150 indicate various challenges.One of the most prevalent arguments in the debate is the double-benefit argument claiming that socia
Impact abrasive wear behavior of high chromium white iron (HCWI) produced by liquid die forging process were investigated.the wear tests were performed with the MLD-10 abrasive wear testing machine, using SiO2 abrasive and with four impact energies of 1.5 J, 2.5 J, 3.5 J and 4.5 J for 120 min.The results indicated that the cumulative volume loss of
HIV-1 protease gene sequences were obtained from peripheral blood, saliva or oral tissues of 35 HIV+ patients using nested amplification and manual sequencing of PCR products.Of the 35 HIV+ patients 9 had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) while 26 did not, and only 4 patients were on protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.These patients were collec
We develop a three-step computing approach to explore a hierarchical ranking network for a society of captive rhesus macaques.The computed network is sufficiently informative to address the question: Is the ranking network for a rhesus macaque society more like a kingdom or a corporation? Our computations are based on a three-step approach.These st
