Uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) have emerged as powerful ecological observation platforms capable of filling critical spatial and spectral gaps in plant physiological phenological traits that been difficult to measure from space-borne sensors. Despite recent technological advances, the high cost drone-borne sensors limits widespread application UAS technology across scientific disciplines. Here,...

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes the abnormal pregnancies complete (CHM) and partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and the malignant gestational trophoblastic tumours (GTT) invasive mole (IM), choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT). While many genetic studies have been performed in both CHM and PHM, similar studies of t...

We prove that the fibered power conjecture of Caporaso et al. (Conjecture H, [CHM], §6) together with Lang’s conjecture implies the uniformity of rational points on varieties of general type, as predicted in [CHM]; a few applications on the arithmetic and geometry of curves are stated. In an opposite direction, we give counterexamples to some analogous results in positive characteristic. We sho...

Choroideremia (CHM) is an X-linked retinal degenerative disease resulting from a lack of functional Rab Escort Protein-1 (REP-1). As a first step in developing gene-based therapies for this disease, we evaluated the feasibility of delivering functional REP-1 to defective lymphocytes and fibroblasts isolated from individuals with CHM. A recombinant adenovirus delivering the full-length human cDN...

The Suzuki cross-coupling reaction is about 30 years old and represents a smooth method for creating carbon-carbon bonds. Typically, in the Suzuki reaction aryl halides are combined with an aryl boronic acid or boronic ester in the presence of a Pd(0) catalyst and base to afford a variety of biaryl compounds (Scheme 1). These biphenyl templates are very common in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...

A novel Constraint-Handling Technique (CHT) for Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) applied to constrained optimization problems is proposed. It assumed that the feasible region of problem defined by a convex-hull multiple vertices. On other hand, without loss generality, search space EA given hyper-cube. The proposed CHT called Convex-Hull Mapping (CHM) transforms real vector in into solution region...

Cultural Heritage-Management (CHM) in Italy appears to chronically suffer from resources fragmentation. The aim of this chapter is to highlight the need for a value co-creation logic based on resource integration in CHM to improve awareness and involve citizens, organizations and other stakeholders in the cultural heritage preservation and enhancement activities. The methodological approach ado...

BACKGROUND About 85.3% of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is caused by maternal-fetal ABO blood group incompatibility. However, there is currently no recommended "best" therapy for ABO incompatibility during pregnancy. OBJECTIVES To systematically assess the safety and effectiveness of oral Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for preventing HDN due to ABO incompatibility. METHODS The proto...

BACKGROUND Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been used in China and some other countries for the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). However, controlled studies supporting the efficacy of such treatments in patients with FD are lacking. In this trial, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of modified LiuJunZi decoction in patients with FD of spleen-deficiency and qi-stagn...
