BACKGROUND Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma (MISCC) comprises a significant portion of all cervical cancers in Slovenia. Criteria of carcinomatous invasion are well described in the literature, however histopathological assessment of MISCC is difficult, because morphological characteristics can overlap with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) and other pathological changes. ...

while true do (noncritB; flagB := true; turn := A; waitfor (flagA = false) ∨ (turn = B); critB ; flagB := false) . A global state of our system S = A‖B (processes A,B running in parallel; they communicate by shared variables) can be described by the values of a few (boolean) variables, i.e., by a (column) vector from {0, 1} for some fixed k. Our system S thus determines (can be equated with) a ...

This 16-year retrospective study reports the data on 456 consecutive patients with 557 peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) between 1989 and 2004. Most patients were men (74%) and the mean age was 32.4 years. In 83% of cases the PNIs were isolated; combined lesions most commonly involved the ulnar and median nerves. Upper-limb PNIs occurred in 73.5% of cases; the ulnar nerve was most often injured,...

To solve the problem of high labour costs in strawberry picking process, approach a robot to identify and find strawberries is suggested this study. First, 1000 images including mature, immature, single, multiple, occluded were collected, two-stage detection Mask R-CNN instance segmentation network one-stage YOLOv3 target used train identification model which classified into two categories: mat...

A multi-technology study of evapotranspiration was conducted on the tropical seasonal forest in Nonggang Karst Guangxi. From January 2019 to June 2020, three independent methods, including eddy covariance method (EC), resistance and Penman–Monteith (PM), were used estimate annual (ET). We found that estimated ET varied dramatically: with values 456.66 mm 292.24 (resistance method) 699.59 respec...

Abstract During periods of no or low crop growth in dryland cropping systems, tillage can reduce residue coverage and thereby elevate wind erosion risk. We measured on a silt loam, Haplustoll soil North Dakota (456 mm precipitation yr –1 ) response to levels applied once spring during fallow following small grain–sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) rotation. Treatments were no‐tillage (NT), one‐p...
