Abstract Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual sprays (IRS) have decimated malaria transmission by killing indoor-feeding mosquitoes.However, complete elimination of Ghee malaria transmission with these proven methods is confounded by vectors that evade pesticide contact by feeding outdoors.Methods For any assumed le
Storage pool diseases illuminate platelet dense granule biogenesis
Platelet dense granules (DGs) are membrane bound compartments that store polyphosphate and small molecules such as ADP, ATP, Ca2+, and serotonin.The release of DG contents plays a central role in platelet aggregation to form a hemostatic plug.Accordingly, congenital deficiencies in the biogenesis of platelet DGs underlie human genetic disorders tha
Biochemical and morphological changes in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells induced by treatment of rats with p-Nonylphenol
Objective(s):In previous investigations, we have shown para-nonylphenol (p-NP) caused significant reduction of proliferation and Samsung GS20+ differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro.In this study, we first treat the rats with p-NP, then carried out the biochemical and morphological studies on MSCs.Materials and Me
Leaf Area Index Estimation Algorithm for GF-5 Hyperspectral Data Based on Different Feature Selection and Machine Learning Methods
Leaf area index (LAI) is an essential vegetation parameter that represents the light energy utilization and vegetation canopy structure.As the only in-operation hyperspectral satellite launched by China, GF-5 is potentially useful for accurate LAI estimation.However, there is no research focus on evaluating GF-5 data for LAI estimation.Hyperspectra
