Stereo vision is a challenging problem and it is a wide research topic in computer vision. It has got a lot of attraction because it is a cost efficient way in place of using costly sensors. Stereo vision has found a great importance in many fields and applications in today’s world. Some of the applications include robotics, 3-D scanning, 3-D reconstruction, driver assistance systems, forensics...

All forms of primary GN may recur after kidney transplantation and potentially jeopardize the survival of the graft. IgA nephritis (IgAN) may recur in approximately one third of patients, more frequently in younger patients and in those with a rapid progression of the original disease. However, with the exception of few patients with rapid progression, there is no evidence that recurrence of Ig...

Laboratory animal allergy (LAA) is a common health problem in pharmaceutical research workers. The aetiology of LAA is well established and it is generally accepted that approximately one-third of exposed people may develop symptoms of LAA—see review articles [1,2]. The most common symptoms are rhinitis, conjunctivitis and contact urticaria; ~10% of workers may experience the most serious sympt...

Optimizing vascular access outcomes remains an ongoing challenge for clinical nephrologists. All other things being equal, fistulas are preferred over grafts, and grafts are preferred over catheters. Mature fistulas have better longevity and require fewer interventions, as compared with mature grafts. The major hurdle to increasing fistula use is the high rate of failure to mature of newly crea...

Background The aim of the present meta-analysis is to determine the efficacy of tetracycline group of antibiotics as local drug delivery agents in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods MEDLINE, EBSCO, Cochrane database, and Google Scholar were used to identify studies in English published up to January 31, 2017. An additional hand search of relevant journals and of the...

The estimation of the size of deep web data sources has been an open problem since 1998. This survey reviews all papers that were available online, and other, resources, on estimating the size of data sources during the period 1998 to 2008. In the survey, we first clarify several basic terms that are used in the survey but whose meanings vary in the literature. Basic models in the literature on...
