ABSTRACT Due to the general symptoms presented by the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV)-infected patients, a laboratory test is needed to differentiate CHIKV from other viral infections.The reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is a rapid and sensitive diagnostic tool, and several assays have been developed for detecting and quantifyin
Analysis of Correlations between Economic Growth (Rate of Real GDP) and the Underground Economy
Analysis of performance of any economy involves the measurement and correlation of threebasic elements: the rate of economic growth, the rate of inflation and unemployment rate.When the rateof growth (rate of real GDP) is high, the production of goods and services is growing and thereforeincreasing the number of jobs, decrease unemployment and rais
Comparative Evaluation of Dosimetric Quality and Treatment Efficiency for Halcyon, TrueBeam, and TomoTherapy in Cervical-Thoracic Esophageal Cancer Radiotherapy
Introduction This study primarily aims to investigate the suitability of Halcyon in the context of cervical-thoracic esophageal cancer by exploring the dosimetric quality and delivery efficiency of Halcyon plans with different arc configurations.Additionally, it compares these findings with the dosimetric indices and delivery efficiency of TrueBeam
Denoising and deconvolving CT images of unknown origin: comparing linear Wiener-deconvolution with deep convolutional neural network Noise2Inverse
Low-dose CT scans are very fast, but they feature strong pixel noise which, in turn, invites for efficient denoising the same way that strong image blur invites for sharpening the images.Wiener-deconvolution serves as a starting point, combining these two operations in a linear Fourier filter.It may apply in 2D or 3D and requires Ski de fond - Equi
