Abstract Background Excipients are widely used in pharmaceuticals, detergents, food, and drink because of their properties of low toxicity and hypoallergenicity.The excipient carboxymethylcellulose is used extensively as a thickener in foods such as baked goods, ice cream, gluten free, and reduced fat products, where it may be labeled as e-number E
Frequency domain estimation method of the characteristic period of the P wave of earthquakes
Early warning system earthquake alerts exploit the time delay that the surface waves have in reference to the P waves and estimate the magnitude based on the interpretation of the specific parameters of the P waves.One of the most commonly used parameters for estimating the moment magnitude of an earthquake is the characteristic period measured in
Deep Learning-Based Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for Gastroscopy Image Classification Using Synthetic Data
Gastric cancer has a high mortality rate worldwide, but it can be prevented with early detection through regular gastroscopy.Herein, we propose a deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system applying data augmentation to help doctors classify gastroscopy images as normal or abnormal.To improve the performance of deep learning, a large
Genetic and environmental determinants of human TCR repertoire diversity
Abstract T cell discrimination of self and non-self is the foundation of the adaptive immune response, and is orchestrated by the interaction between T cell receptors (TCRs) and their cognate ligands presented by major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules.However, the impact of host immunogenetic variation on the diversity of the TCR repertoire remai
