The spatial distribution of landslides is influenced by different climatic conditions and environmental settings including topography, morphology, hydrology, lithology, and land use. In this work, we have attempted to evaluate the influence of land use change on landslide susceptibility (LS) for a small study area located in the southern part of the Briga catchment, along the Ionian coast of Si...

The epidemiology of leprosy is characterized by heterogeneity in susceptibility and clustering of disease within households. We aim to assess the extent to which different mechanisms for heterogeneity in leprosy susceptibility can explain household clustering as observed in a large study among contacts of leprosy patients.We used a microsimulation model, parameterizing it with data from over 20...

The chlorhexidine resistance of 317 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from hospital patients was determined. The distribution pattern of their susceptibility to chlorhexidine clearly revealed two peaks, and the frequency of resistance to chlorhexidine was 84.2%.

The multilayered myelin sheath wrapping around nerve axons is essential for proper functioning of the central nervous system. Abnormal myelination leads to a wide range of neurological diseases and developmental disorders. Non-invasive imaging of myelin content is of great clinical importance. The present work demonstrated that loss of myelin in the central nervous system of the shiverer mouse ...

Urinary tract infection is one of the common infections in the Indian community. Distribution and susceptibility of UTI-causing pathogens change according to time and place. This study was conducted to determine the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of uropathogens in the Indian community as well as to determine the effect of gender and age on the etiology of bacterial uropathogens....

Landslides can cause severe damage to both the environment and society, many statistical, index-based, inventory-based methods have been developed assess landslide susceptibility; however, it is still challenging choose most effective method properly identify major driving factors for specific regions. Here, we applied four machine learning algorithms, adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), gradient-boo...

Regional landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP) research is of great significance to the prevention and control landslides. This study focuses on LSP modelling based decision tree model. Taking northern part An’yuan County Jiangxi Province as an example, 14 environmental factors including elevation, gully density lithology are obtained geographical information system (GIS) remote sensing sat...

Introduction: Recent progress in susceptibility reconstruction from single or multiple phase images [1,2,3] has led to a better characterisation of this novel contrast in the brain. A surprisingly large anisotropy of the reconstructed susceptibility of white matter has been observed and is being discussed [4,5,6]. However, neither the source of anisotropy nor that of susceptibility contrast are...

conclusions we found a marked increase in the incidence of non-albicans species (48.2%) among neutropenic patients. only a few strains failed to produce extracellular enzymes. finally, in addition to fluconazole, caspofungin can be considered as the first line treatment against candida species among neutropenic patients. results a total of 110 yeast strains isolated from urine and oral cavities...
