Automatic detection of pulmonary nodules is critical for the early diagnosis and prevention of lung cancer.Computed tomography (CT) is an effective and economical lung cancer detection method.In CT images, the size and shape of pulmonary nodules appear different, and some nodules appear similar to the surrounding tissues.Therefore, the automatic lo
Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators during gastric cancer (GC) development and may be viable treatment targets.In the present study, we showed that the expression of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01016 (LINC01016) is significantly higher in GC tissues with lymph node metastasis (LNM) than those without LNM.LINC01016 overex
Managed-care organizations have a unique opportunity, still largely unrealized, to collaborate with health-care providers and epidemiologists to prevent health care-associated infections.Several attributes make these organizations logical collaborators for infection control programs: they have responsibility for defined populations of enrollees and
Full waveform inversion (FWI) can yield high resolution images and has been applied in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for around 20 years.However, appropriate selection of the initial models is important in FWI because such an inversion is highly nonlinear.The conventional way to obtain the initial models for GPR FWI is ray-based tomogram inversion
