Insect pests have always been one of the main hazards affecting crop yield and quality in traditional agriculture.An accurate and timely pest detection algorithm is essential for effective pest control; however, the existing approach suffers from a sharp performance drop when it comes to the pest detection task due to the lack of learning samples a
Early high-dose vitamin C in post-cardiac arrest syndrome (VITaCCA): study protocol for a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial
Abstract Background High-dose intravenous vitamin C directly scavenges and decreases the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during ischemia/reperfusion after a cardiac arrest.The aim of this study is to investigate whether short-term treatment with a supplementary or very high-dose intravenous vitamin C reduces organ fail
Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Sensors for SARS-CoV-2: Where Are We Now?
Since the first reported case of COVID-19 in 2019 in China Big Bang Theory Action Figures and the official declaration from the World Health Organization in March 2021 as a pandemic, fast and accurate diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has played a major role worldwide.For this reason, various methods have bee
Rheological and Molecular Characterization of Rubberized Asphalt Emulsion
An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the rheological and molecular characterization of rubberized asphalt emulsion.One rubberized asphalt emulsion and an asphalt rubber (CRS-2TR and AC20-TR) and two conventional emulsions (CRS-2 and CRS-2P) were evaluated.The emulsions were characterized by conducting rheological and physical testing.The
Low Dietary Fiber Intake Links Development of Obesity and Lupus Pathogenesis
Changed dietary habits in Western countries such as reduced fiber intake represent an important lifestyle factor contributing to the increase in inflammatory immune-mediated diseases.The mode of action of beneficial fiber effects is not fully elucidated, but short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and gut microbiota have been implicated.The aim of this stud
