Bricks Agogo Bell of tunnels and bridges of Usui Pass railway (Japan) exposed to north are subject to frost damage.Average depth of erosion due to detachment of angular blocks is around 1-1.5 cm.In order to assess this weathering and to understand its mechanism, an experimental study was carried out in the field and laboratory.Field monitoring show
SCReadCounts: estimation of cell-level SNVs expression from scRNA-seq data
Abstract Background Recent studies have demonstrated the utility of scRNA-seq SNVs to distinguish tumor from normal Pass Throughs cells, characterize intra-tumoral heterogeneity, and define mutation-associated expression signatures.In addition to cancer studies, SNVs from single cells have been useful in studies of transcriptional burst kinetics, a
Four-Dimensional XStrain Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Strain and Rotational Mechanics: Technology, Clinical Applications, Advantages and Limitations
Because of its excellent ability to non-invasively assess left ventricular (LV) systolic function, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is increasingly being used in echocardiographic laboratories worldwide.Two-dimensional STE is the most sought-after method to evaluate LV strain, rotation, twist and torsion.Two dimensional, thre
Are households with under-five children in Nigeria socioeconomically disadvantaged?
Although the sociodemographic and economic contributors to under-five mortality are well established, very little research has been done to assess the levels of disadvantage under-five children in Nigeria face along these dimensions.Nigeria has the second-highest under-five mortality rate (U5MR) in the world (111 deaths per 1000 live births) and co
