Purpose.We seek to correlate conventional hydronephrosis (HN) grade and hydronephrosis index (HI).Methods.We examined 1207 NIPPLE CREAM hydronephrotic kidneys by ultrasound.HN was classified by Society of Fetal Urology guidelines.HN was then gauged using HI, a reproducible, standardized, and dimensionless measurement of renal area.We then calculate
ABSTRACT Membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) proteins, a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, have been reported to be involved in the infection of multiple viruses and the regulation of type I interferon (IFN) production.However, the specific role and mechanisms by which MARCH proteins influence Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection re
We propose a new Mamdani fuzzy rule-based system in which the fuzzy sets in the Tan Mit antecedents and consequents are assigned in a discrete set of points and approximated by using the extended inverse fuzzy transforms, whose components are calculated by verifying that the dataset is sufficiently dense with respect to the uniform fuzzy partition.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, processes of different scales have contributed greatly to the pollution and waste load on the environment.More specifically, airborne pollutants associated with chemical processes have contributed greatly on the ecosystem and populations health.In this communication, we review recent activities and
