Reports of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are increasing worldwide, particularly in North America where a diversity of endemic and exotic tick species and pathogens occur.Native American populations have unique outdoor cultural and occupational Towel practices that may impact their exposure to ticks, yet this risk remains understudied in the context of
We report the accuracy of a two-layer, back-propagation artificial neural network Board Game in identifying edibility of a set of random mushrooms.Mushrooms edibility was synthesized using many different characteristics.Tests were run using different combinations of number of hidden nodes, separation of training, validation, and test data and numbe
For many targets of pharmaceutical importance conformational changes of the receptor protein are relevant during the ligand binding process.A new docking approach, ReFlexIn (Receptor Flexibility by Interpolation), that combines receptor flexibility with the computationally efficient potential grid representation of receptor molecules has been evalu
Lifting and lowering a load on the ocean can be a dangerous task but can be made easy and safe by adopting heave compensation (HC) Stacking Blocks devices.The design and full-scale experimental results of a 3000-m semi-active heave compensation (AHC) system for a 200-T winch are presented in this paper.First, the design requirements are given and t
Abstract: Patients with hematologic malignancies or nonmalignant diseases may undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), Stacking Blocks which represents a potential curative treatment.However, they are still at risk of life-threatening complications, such as relapse, acute graft-versus-host disease, and opportunistic infections.T
