Copy number variation through gene ashy bines protein powder or chromosome amplification provides a route for rapid phenotypic variation and supports the long-term evolution of gene functions.Although the evolutionary importance of copy-number variation is known, little is understood about how genetic background influences its tolerance.Here, we me
INTRODUCTION: Early diagnosis and treatment of paediatric HIV is key as mortality of untreated patients is very high in the first two years of life, and reaches 80% by four years.Case finding efforts for children especially outside Prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is inadequate.Targeting siblings of index HIV-exposed and infected
This article presents a two-stage optimization model aiming to determine optimal energy mix in distribution networks, i.e., battery energy storage, fuel cell, and wind turbines.It aims to alleviate the impact of high renewable penetration on the systems.To solve the proposed complex optimization model, a standard variant of the dragonfly algorithm
The dengue virus (DENV), transmitted by Aedes spp.mosquitoes, is one of the most important arboviral infections in the world.Dengue begins as a febrile condition, and in certain patients, it can evolve severe clinical outcomes, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS).The reasons why certain patients develop DHF or DSS
Cracks provide the earliest and most immediate visual response to structural deterioration of asphalt pavements.Most of the current methods for crack detection are based on visible light sensors and convolutional neural networks.However, such an approach obviously limits the detection to daytime and good lighting conditions.Therefore, this paper pr
