Abstract Characterising cellulose nanofibre (CNF) morphology has been identified as a grand challenge for the nanocellulose research field. Direct techniques CNF characterisation exhibit various difficulties related to material network structure and equipment cost, while indirect that investigate fibre-light interaction, fibre-solvent fibre-fibre or specific fibre surface area involve relativel...

The present study provides comparative evaluation of the ABR and MLR to 1 kHz brief tones in two groups of hearing-impaired subjects (noise-masked normally-hearing; and sensorineurally hearing-impaired adults), as well as a normally-hearing control group. Tones were presented at intensities from threshold to 80 /90 dB nHL. The results of this study show that: (1) the ABR and MLR to these low-fr...

Although immunoregulation of alloreactive human CTLs has been described, the direct influence of CD4(+) Tregs on CD8(+) cytotoxicity and the interactive mechanisms have not been well clarified. Therefore, human CD4(+)CD127(-)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) Tregs were generated in MLR, immunoselected and their allospecific regulatory functions and associated mechanisms were then tested using modified (51)Chromi...

In the present study, there was a complete lack of autologous MLR between responding T cells or T subsets and unirradiated or irradiated leukemic B cells or monocytes in all 20 patients with CLL, regardless of disease status, stage, phenotype, or karyotype of the disease. The stimulating capacity of unirradiated CLL B cells and CLL monocytes or irradiated CLL B cells was significantly depressed...

in this paper, the quantitative structure activity-relationship (qsar) of the ccr2b receptor inhibitors was scrutinized. firstly, the molecular descriptors were calculated using the dragon package. then, the stepwise multiple linear regressions (sw-mlr) and the genetic algorithm multiple linear regressions (ga-mlr) variable selection methods were subsequently employed to select and implement th...

Abstract Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most widely used data analysis methods in machine learning and AI. This manuscript focuses on mathematical foundation classical PCA its application to a small-sample-size scenario large dataset high-dimensional space scenario. In particular, we discuss simple method that can be approximate latter case. also help kernel or (KPCA) for larg...

The purpose of this study was to implement a diffusion-weighted sequence for visualisation of mobile lipid resonances (MLR) using high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) (1)H MRS and to evaluate its use in establishing differences between tissues from patients with cervical carcinoma that contain cancer from those that do not. A stimulated echo sequence with bipolar gradients was modified...

Context: A Multivocal Literature Review (MLR) is a form of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) which includes the grey literature (e.g., blog posts and white papers) in addition to the published (formal) literature (e.g., journal and conference papers). MLRs are useful for both researchers and practitioners since they provide summaries both the state-of-the art and –practice in a given area. M...

Many multilevel relational data models have been proposed, and diierent models ooer diierent advantages. In this paper, we adapt and reene several of the best ideas from previous models and add new ideas to build the new Multilevel Relational (MLR) data model. MLR provides multilevel relations with element-level labeling, as a natural extension of the traditional relational data model. MLR intr...
