The processing of brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data for large cohort studies requires fully automatic pipelines to perform quality control (QC) and artifact/outlier removal procedures on the raw DTI data prior to calculation of diffusion parameters.In this study, three automatic DTI processing pipelines, each complying with the general ENIG
Protein-based textiles, such as wool and silk, possess special properties and they are ranked higher on the hierarchical scale than the cellulosic ones (e.g., cotton, linen, hemp), in terms of quality.Wool is composed of keratin as the main protein component and silk consists of approx.80% fibroin and 20% sericin.The degradation of protein-based fi
Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, which is transmitted by chiggers.The target cells of this rickettsia are poorly defined in humans.Immunohistochemical staining of tissue sections of patients with scrub typhus is helpful in investigating the target cells of this rickettsia in different organs.We studied two autops
Humic acid (HA) was extracted by a hydrothermal method from Huolinhe lignite from Inner Mongolia.The effects of the alkali-to-carbon mass ratio, water-to-coal mass ratio, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the HA yield were investigated.The physicochemical characterization of crewman talc the products was performed, and the reaction mechani
Splenosis is modular pillow stack a rare condition described as the implantation of ectopic splenic tissue, usually after a splenic rupture.Thoracic splenosis refers to acquired ectopic splenic tissue found within the thoracic cavity, often caused by thoracoabdominal trauma or surgery.Most cases are asymptomatic and many years may elapse before the
