Abstract With disease progression, individual differences appear, even in an animal disease model with genetic homogeneity.Therefore, non-invasive long term observation and individual identification is desirable for late-onset diseases.To this end, the natural markings used in ecological studies are preferable to the external invasive markings used
BackgroundScrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi infection, is one of the main causes of febrile illness in the Asia-Pacific region.Although cell-mediated 02 Sensor immunity plays an important role in protection, little is known about the phenotypic changes and dynamics of leukocytes in scrub typhus patients.Methodology/principal findingsTo
In this study, we used a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to address a variation of the non-deterministic polynomial-time NP-hard traveling tournament problem, which determines the optimal schedule for a double Hair Removal round-robin tournament, for an even number of teams, to minimize the number of trips taken.Our proposed algorithm i
In this paper, error resilience is achieved by adaptive, application-layer Artificial plant rateless channel coding, which is used to protect H.264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec data-partitioned videos.A packetization strategy is an effective tool to control error rates and, in the paper, source-coded data partitioning serves to allocate smalle
