Pathogenic Bacterial Contaminations in Hospital Cafeteria Foods

Seminal bacterial contaminations: Probable factor in unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss

BACKGROUND It is estimated that about 50% of causes of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) cases remain unknown. Sperm factors are suggested to have probable role in cases with RPL. OBJECTIVE The goal was to determine the possible relationship between semen bacterial contaminations with unexplained RPL. Also, the correlation between number of bacterial colony and sperm chromatin condensation was e...

Cafeteria Vision Identification and Amount Measurement of Foods in a Plate

We present a prototype of automatic dish recognition system, intended to ease the checkout process in self-serve cafeterias, where the price is based on what food and how much a customer takes. When a plate with several dishes in it goes though the checkout counter, a snapshot will be taken and then sent to a computer for analysis. A variety of features, including color and texture are extracte...

Contaminations in genomic sequences

Despite continued advances in whole genome sequencing techniques and the development of powerful assembly algorithms, newly sequenced genomes still often suffer from contaminations during the sequencing process. The most common sources of contamination are accessory DNAs deliberately attached to the DNA/RNA under investigation, including vectors, adapters, linkers and PCR primers. However, ther...
