A Novel Computer-Aided Method to Evaluate Scoliosis Curvature using Polynomial Math Function
Background: Scoliosis is a health problem that causes a side-to-side curvature in the spine. The curvature may have an “S” or “C” shape. To evaluate scoliosis, the Cobb angle has been commonly used. However, digital image processing allows the Cobb angle to be obtained easily and quickly, several researchers have determined that Cobb angle contains high variations (errors) in the measurements. ...
متن کاملImpact of Environmental Factors and Biological Soil Crust Types on Soil Respiration in a Desert Ecosystem
The responses of soil respiration to environmental conditions have been studied extensively in various ecosystems. However, little is known about the impacts of temperature and moisture on soils respiration under biological soil crusts. In this study, CO2 efflux from biologically-crusted soils was measured continuously with an automated chamber system in Ningxia, northwest China, from June to O...
متن کاملA New Method to Evaluate Fasting Plasma Glucose by Salivary Glucose Measurement
Objective:Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) analysis is the most importantmethod for detection and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Due to difficulty and problems of this method for determination of glycemia in diabetic patients, recently the use of Fasting Salivary Glucoseas a simple and non-invasive method to evaluate FPGhas came into significant considerationof specialists. The aim of this study w...
متن کاملNovel consensus quantitative structure-retention relationship method in prediction of pesticides retention time in nano-LC
In this study, quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) methodology employed for modeling of the retention times of 16 banned pesticides in nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) column. Genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) method employed for developing global and consensus QSRR models. The best global GA-MLR model was established by adjusting GA parameters. Three de...
متن کاملIsolation of a significant fraction of non-phototroph diversity from a desert Biological Soil Crust
Biological Soil Crusts (BSCs) are organosedimentary assemblages comprised of microbes and minerals in topsoil of terrestrial environments. BSCs strongly impact soil quality in dryland ecosystems (e.g., soil structure and nutrient yields) due to pioneer species such as Microcoleus vaginatus; phototrophs that produce filaments that bind the soil together, and support an array of heterotrophic mic...
