Histopathological studies have demonstrated the involvement of spinal cord grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) in several diseases and recent research has suggested the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a promising tool for in vivo assessment of the upper spinal cord. However, many neurological conditions would benefit from quantitative assessment of tissue integrity at different le...

This paper extends a new temperature and emissivity separation (TES) algorithm for retrieving land surface (LST LSE) to the Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager (AGRI) onboard Fengyun-4A, China’s newest geostationary meteorological satellite. The extended TES was named AGRI algorithm. employs modified water vapor scaling (WVS) method recalibrated empirical function over vegetated surfaces. ...

The anticoagulant effect of leech saliva was traditionally employed in the treatment of diabetes mellitus complications such as peripheral vascular complications. This study was carried out to examine the effect of leech saliva extract (LSE) on blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. First, LSE was collected from leeches which were fed on a phagostimulatory solution. Second, tota...
