Patch tests were introduced as a diagnostic tool in the late nineteenth century. Since then, they have improved considerably becoming what they are today. Patch tests are used in the diagnostic investigation of contact dermatitis worldwide. Batteries or series previously studied and standardized should be used in patch testing. The methodology is simple, but it requires adequate training for th...

We present a method to create universal, robust, targeted adversarial image patches in the real world. The patches are universal because they can be used to attack any scene, robust because they work under a wide variety of transformations, and targeted because they can cause a classifier to output any target class. These adversarial patches can be printed, added to any scene, photographed, and...

this is a case presentation of a 26-year-old woman with a moderate-sized atrial septal secundum defect (17mm) who underwent catheterism, during which an amplatzer septal occluder number 26 was inserted successfully. on the second postoperative day, she deteriorated and a clinical examination showed a typical tamponade. after a percutaneous aspiration of the pericardial cavity and transient impr...

in this paper, a sensitivity analysis of artificial neural networks (nns) is presented and employed for estimating the patch load resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed nn model, the results are compared with the previously proposed empirical models, so that we can estimate the resistance of plate girders subjected to patch loading. the ...

introduction: the diagnostic work-up of allergic rhinitis (ar) is first and foremost based on the combination of clinical history data and results of skin prick tests (spt). other tests, including specific ige measurement, nasal challenge, and, as a third option, component resolved diagnosis or basophil activation test, may be useful when the diagnosis is difficult because of polysensitization ...

Recent deep learning models outperform standard lossy image compression codecs. However, applying these on a patch-by-patch basis requires that each patch be encoded and decoded independently. The influence from adjacent patches is therefore lost, leading to block artefacts at low bitrates. We propose the Binary Inpainting Network (BINet), an autoencoder framework which incorporates binary inpa...

In this work, a model based on the combination of two approaches XFEM and CZM, has been used to predict damage repairs by composite patch (patch/adhesive/plate assembly). This degradation is analyzed in terms adhesive considering both initiation propagation interfacial debonding. The cohesive zone patch/adhesive/plate system defined its properties resistance debonding estimated from displacemen...

A one-year-old otherwise healthy girl presented with a progressively enlarging patch on the lateral aspect of her right ankle. Her parents stated that the lesion was not remarkable at birth but became more apparent with aging. There was no history of trauma or bleeding and family history for similar lesions was unremarkable. Physical examination showed an erythematous patch of superficial telan...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of copper extraction on the structure and function of rangelands ecosystem around the mine area in Dareh Zereshk, Yazd province, Iran. Three study sites were considered at the specified intervals of the mine (0-200, 200-500 and 500-1000m). This research was conducted from 2012 to 2013. In each location, three linear transects with a length of 50 m...

The taxonomic status of the strabomantid frog species Pristimantis nebulosus (Henle, 1992), originating from southern Cordillera Azul in central Peru, is investigated based on examination holotype and its comparison with freshly collected topotypic material. Following current standards, we provide a redescription holotype. It rather poor state exhibits certain damages preservation artifacts, co...
