As two important expanded quantification rough set models, the probabilistic rough set (PRS) model and the graded rough set (GRS) model are used to measure relative quantitative information and absolute quantitative information between the equivalence classes and a basic concept, respectively. The decision-theoretic rough set (DTRS) model is a special case of PRS model which mainly utilizes the...


 In this study, we propose a technique for quantitative visual inspection that can quantify structural damage using extended reality (XR). The XR headset display and overlay graphical information on the physical space process data from built-in camera depth sensor. Also, device permits accessing analyzing image video stream in real-time utilizing 3D meshes of environment pose information....

There is currently concern and controversy in the shrimp industries of the Americas about the risk posed by the importation and reprocessing of shrimp infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and yellow head virus (YHV). To further understand the risk, more knowledge concerning the quantitative virus load of infected shrimp is needed. The present study was carried out to better define, us...

Quantitative microstructural analysis of Room Temperature Vulcanized (RTV) silicone pyrolysis at high temperatures is presented. RTV used as a bonding agent in multiple industries, particularly filling gaps ablative tiles for hypersonic (re-)entry vehicles and fire prevention. Decomposition resolved real time using situ high-temperature X-ray computed micro-tomography. Tomographies are acquired...

Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) is one of the important methods for investigating the changes in mRNA expression levels in cells and tissues. Selection of the proper reference genes is very important when calibrating the results of real-time quantitative PCR. Studies on the selection of reference genes in goat tissues are limited, despite the economic importance of their meat and dairy pro...

Real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR is currently the most sensitive method for the detection of low-abundance mRNAs. Two relative quantitative methods have been adopted: the standard curve method and the comparative C(T) method. The latter is used when the amplification efficiency of a reference gene is equal to that of the target gene; otherwise the standard curve method is applied. Based...

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary malignant brain tumor and despite treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme is approximately 1 year. Glioblastoma multiforme explants and cell lines have been reported to overexpress the interleukin-13 receptor alpha2 subunit (IL13Ralpha2) relative to nonneoplastic brain. B...
