Throughout the tree of life, cells and organisms enter states of dormancy or hibernation as a key feature of their biology: from a bacterium arresting its growth in response to starvation, to a plant seed anticipating placement in click here fertile ground, to a human oocyte poised for fertilization to create a new life.Recent research shows that w
The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The importance of minimizing the exaggerated sympatho-adrenergic responses and QT interval and QT interval dispersion changes that may develop due to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation during anesthesia induction in the hypertensive patients is clear.Esmolol decreases the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubat
Hadoop Processing Methods for Large Scale Video Data
As the continuous advancement of the We-media era, there are more and more short video users.However, there are still problems with low data processing efficiency and serious video damage in the current processing framework for large-scale video data.To address this issue, research is conducted to improve the artificial fish swarm algorithm using p
Understanding and using the meaning of statements in a bio-ontology: recasting the Gene Ontology in OWL
Abstract The bio-ontology community falls into two camps: first we have biology domain experts, who actually hold the knowledge we wish to capture in ontologies; second, we have ontology specialists, who hold knowledge about techniques and best practice on ontology development.In the bio-ontology domain, these two camps have often come into conflic
Comparison of Accuracy Between Pulp/Tooth Ratio and Tooth Coronal Index Methods for Dental Age Estimation Using Digital Panoramic Radiographs
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and the accuracy of Tooth Coronal Index (TCI) and Pulp/Tooth Ratio (PTR) methods in dental age estimation using digital panoramic radiography.Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 237 dental panoramic images were collected.The two methods (TCI and PTR) were applied to all left mandibular first r
