Abstract Background Food insecurity is the state of having insufficient access to adequate food in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle due to limited economic resources.This Eye Patch study expands upon the annual survey conducted by the USDA ERS, while providing evidence that additional factors, notably, medical or health-related issues play vit
Screening for potential targets to reduce stenosis in bioprosthetic heart valves
Abstract Progressive stenosis is one of the main factors that limit the lifetime of bioprosthetic valved conduits.To improve long-term performance we aimed to identify targets that inhibit pannus formation on conduit walls.From 11 explanted, obstructed, RNAlater presevered pulmonary valved conduits, we dissected the thickened conduit wall and the t
Urban Mapping Accuracy Enhancement in High-Rise Built-Up Areas Deployed by 3D-Orthorectification Correction from WorldView-3 and LiDAR Imageries
Orthorectification is an important step in generating accurate land use/land cover (LULC) from satellite imagery, particularly in urban areas with high-rise buildings.Such buildings generally appear as oblique shapes on very-high-resolution (VHR) satellite images, which reflect a bigger area of coverage than the real built-up area on LULC mapping.T
Control of tissue development and cell diversity by cell cycle-dependent transcriptional filtering
Cell cycle duration changes dramatically during development, starting out fast to generate cells quickly and slowing down over time as the organism matures.The cell cycle can also act as a transcriptional filter to control the expression of long gene transcripts, which are partially transcribed in short cycles.Using mathematical simulations of cell
