NETWORK ANALYSIS OF OUTPATIENTS TO IDENTIFY PREDICTIVE SYMPTOMS AND COMBINATIONS OF SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH POSITIVE/NEGATIVE SARS-COV-2 NASOPHARYNGEAL SWABS

Background: Limited data exist on early predictive clinical symptoms or combinations of symptoms that could be included in the case definition of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), particularly for mild-to-moderate disease in an outpatient setting.Methods: A cohort study of individuals presenting with clinical symptoms to one of the largest dedic

An innovative approach to pupil tracking using event cameras is presented in this paper.Our method incorporates two primary processes: RGB-to-Event image domain translation and pupil localization utilizing Event Cameras.Initially, we convert traditional RGB images into event-like images with our novel adaptive StyleFlow algorithm.This advanced algo

Ca2+-regulated contractility is a key determinant of the quality of muscles.The sarcomeric myofilament proteins are essential players in the contraction of striated muscles.The troponin complex in the actin thin filaments plays a central role in the Ca2+-regulation of muscle contraction and relaxation.Among the three subunits of troponin, the Ca2+-

Abstract Background We report on the probable horizontal transfer of a mitochondrial gene, cytb, between species of Neotropical bruchid beetles, in a zone where these species are sympatric.The bruchid beetles Acanthoscelides obtectus, A.obvelatus, A.argillaceus and Zabrotes subfasciatus develop on various bean species in Mexico.Whereas A.obtectus a

The article is devoted to the study of the early connections of the Manchu rulers with the highest leadership of Tibetan Buddhism.Probably, the countdown should be conducted from the 1620s, when the Manchus intensified their interaction with the Mongolian peoples (Chakhars), where the Tibetan lamas already had strong positions.Further development o
