The amount of plastic waste produced yearly is significantly increasing.Approximately 300-400 million metric tons of plastic waste are produced yearly.One of the dominant plastic wastes is a metalized film, a shiny, non-homogeneous polymer used in packaging that is considered the least recycled.Meanwhile, partition walls in buildings are traditiona

Skull stripping in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential step to analyze images of the brain.Although manual segmentation has the highest accuracy, it is a time-consuming task.Therefore, various automatic segmentation algorithms of the brain in MRI have been devised and proposed previously.However, there is still no method that sol

Herein, a case study on the impact of assimilating satellite radiance observation data into the rapid-refresh multi-scale analysis and prediction system (RMAPS) is presented.This case study targeted the 48 h period from 19–20 July 2016, which was characterized by the passage of a low pressure system that produced heavy rainfall over North Chi

Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier.However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown.Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in vitro mode
