Establishment of Biocontrol Agents and Their Impact on Rhizosphere Microbiome and Induced Grapevine Defenses Are Highly Soil-Dependent

With a reduction in available chemical treatments, there is an increased interest in biological control of grapevine trunk diseases. Few studies have investigated the impact of introducing beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere on the...

Causal analysis between altered levels of interleukins and obstructive sleep apnea

BackgroundInflammation proteins including interleukins (ILs) have been reported to be related to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aims of this study were to estimate the levels for several key interleukins in OSA and the causal effects be...

A distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is associated with increased levels of fecal calprotectin

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shares many characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal microbiota most likely plays an important role in the development of IBDs and may also be involved in the pathogen...

Genetic Markers of Adaptation of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Plasmodium falciparum</named-content> to Transmission by American Vectors Identified in the Genomes of Parasites from Haiti and South America

ABSTRACT The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, was introduced into Hispaniola and other regions of the Americas through the slave trade spanning the 16th through the 19th centuries. During this period, more than 12 million Africans w...

Efficacy and safety of biofilm dispersal by glycoside hydrolases in wounds

Novel anti-biofilm and dispersal agents are currently being investigated in an attempt to combat biofilm-associated wound infections. Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes that hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds between sugars, such as those f...

High posterior tibial slope increases anterior cruciate ligament elongation in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty during early-flexion of lunge

Abstract Background In-silico and in-vitro studies have revealed an appropriate posterior tibial slope (PTS) is critical for normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tension and knee biomechanical behavi...

Hydrostatic Pressure Affects In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes and Follicles and Increases Granulosa Cell Death

Objective: This study examines the effects of hydrostatic pressure on in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes derived from in vitro grown follicles.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, preantral follicles were isolated from 12-da...

Enhancing Communication Security in Drones Using QRNG in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing the security and reliability of drone communications through the integration of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) systems. We propose a mult...

Empowering Students for Cybersecurity Awareness Management in the Emerging Digital Era: The Role of Cybersecurity Attitude in the 4.0 Industrial Revolution Era

The purpose of the study is to examine how cybersecurity knowledge, password security, and self-perception of skill affect cybersecurity awareness issues via the mediating lens of cybersecurity attitude among university students in Banglade...

Modeling Semantic Relations Expressed by Prepositions

Detecting Target Objects by Natural Language Instructions Using an RGB-D Camera

Controlling robots by natural language (NL) is increasingly attracting attention for its versatility, convenience and no need of extensive training for users. Grounding is a crucial challenge of this problem to enable robots to understand N...

A Graph Database Representation of Portuguese Criminal-Related Documents

Organizations have been challenged by the need to process an increasing amount of data, both structured and unstructured, retrieved from heterogeneous sources. Criminal investigation police are among these organizations, as they have to man...

Bias and Fairness in Natural Language Processing

Recent advances in data-driven machine learning techniques (e.g., deep neural networks) have revolutionized many natural language processing applications. These approaches automatically learn how to make decisions based on the statistics an...

A bibliometric analysis of natural language processing in medical research

BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) has become an increasingly significant role in advancing medicine. Rich research achievements of NLP methods and applications for medical information processing are available. It is of great sig...
