The apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) and plasminogen (PLG) genes share a high degree of sequence identity, suggesting that both genes may be coordinately expressed.To address this possibility, hepatic apo[a], PLG, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) mRNAs in 11 cynomolgus monkeys that express plasma Lp[a] over a 10-fold range (5.3-69.3 m
A new edge detection operator based on dual parity morphological gradients is proposed, in order to accurately segment a porcelain insulator string in an infrared image before the identification and diagnosis of deteriorated insulators by the extracted thermal information.When applied to the double-shed insulators, the proposed detector is capable
Acalypha australis L.1753 is a potherb popular among Asian populations and is a traditional herbal medicine.In the current study, the overall genetic diversity of Wax Strips A.australis still needs to be better.Here, we assembled and characterized the complete plastome of A.australis.The plastome is 168,885 bp in length with a large single-copy (LS
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of modified silicone gel sheets applied to hypertrophic scars and keloids following laparoscopic surgery.Methods Patients who had undergone laparoscopic surgery and who had either conventional or modified silicone gel sheets affixed to their surgical lesions for 6 months postoperatively (treatment gr
The use of automation technology in agriculture has become particularly important as global agriculture is challenged by labor shortages and efficiency gains.The automated process for harvesting apples, an important agricultural product, relies on efficient and accurate detection and localization technology to ensure the quality and quantity of pro
