BACKGROUND Completing therapy is one of the major transitions in care in the practice of pediatric oncology and, therefore, deserves special consideration. The purpose of the study was to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of pediatric patients, and emotional reactions of their parents, shortly after the end of successful treatment. METHODS HRQOL of 126 patients, aged 1-15 yea...

Food products may contain unintended allergens due to cross-contact through the production process. This can pose a risk to allergic consumers. Food producers are aware of this and optimize production to control the likelihood and extent of cross-contact as much as possible. To ensure the safety of allergic consumers and determine the need for mitigating measures, the residual risk must be asse...

Abstract In view of the flammable and explosive characteristics oil gas pipeline transportation medium, once it leaks, production safety accidents are easy to occur. This study uses explosions with severe consequences caused by natural leakage as an example. The risk factors accident modes storage pipelines analyzed; explosion load is calculated a scaling prediction model TNO multi-energy metho...

Fusing the infrared (IR) and visible images has many advantages can be applied to applications such as target detection recognition. Colors give more accurate distinct features, but low resolution contrast of fused make this a challenge task. In paper, we proposed method based on parallel generative adversarial networks (GANs) address challenge. We used IR image, image fusion ground truth ‘L’, ...

The current deep learning-based image fusion methods can not sufficiently learn the features of images in a wide frequency range. Therefore, we proposed IFormerFusion, which is based on Inception Transformer and cross-domain fusion. To from high- low-frequency information, designed IFormer mixer, splits input through channel dimension feeds them into parallel paths for mixers to achieve linear ...

This paper outlines new perspectives for data-supported foresight by combining participatory expert-based futures dialogues with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) in what we call hybrid AI-expert-based approach. To this end, present a framework five typical steps fully fledged process ranging from scoping to strategizing and show how AI can be integrated into each enable AI-expert Build...

We present several lines of evidence, based on different kinds of observations, and we conclude that it is likely that rotational fission has occurred for a fraction of the known trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). It is also likely that a number of binary systems have formed from that process in the trans-Neptunian belt. We show that Haumea is, potentially, an example of an object that has suffere...

An in vivo photomicronucleus test (MNT) using rat skin, the target organ for photoirritancy and carcinogenicity, was recently described. The assay was evaluated using fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics with varying degrees of phototoxic potency (i.e. sparflocacin [SPFX], lomefloxacin [LOFX], ciprofloxacin [CIFX], levofloxacin [LEFX], gemifloxacin [GEFX] and gatifloxacin [GAFX]) using a solar simu...
