BACKGROUND Radiation exposure can lead to detrimental effects in skin microcirculation. The precise relationship between radiation dose received and its effect on cutaneous perfusion still remains controversial. Previously, we have shown that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is able to demonstrate long-term reductions in cutaneous perfusion secondary to chronic microvascular injury. This study chara...

Hyperspectral image-anomaly detection (HSI-AD) has become one of the research hotspots in field remote sensing. Because HSI’s features integrating image and spectrum provide a considerable data basis for abnormal object detection, HSI-AD huge application potential HSI analysis. It is difficult to effectively extract large number nonlinear contained using traditional machine learning methods, de...

The Funil Reservoir receives a large amount of xenobiotics from the Paraíba do Sul River (PSR) from large number of industries and municipalities in the watershed. This study aimed to assess environmental quality along the longitudinal profile of the Paraíba do Sul River-Funil Reservoir system, by using biomarkers and bioindicators in a selected fish species. The raised hypothesis is that Funil...

Animal models have shown that peripheral chemoreceptors alter their firing patterns in response to changes in plasma osmolality, which, in turn, may modulate sympathetic outflow. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that increases in plasma osmolality augment muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) responses to chemoreceptor activation. MSNA was recorded from the peroneal nerve...

Aims To examine the ability of different commonmeasures of cigarette dependence to predict smoking cessation during pregnancy. Design Secondary analysis of data from a parallel-group randomized controlled trial of physical activity for smoking cessation. The outcomes were biochemically validated smoking abstinence at 4weeks post-quit and end-ofpregnancy. Setting Women identified as smokers in a...

In conservation biology there is a basic need to determine habitat suitability and availability. Astroblepus ubidiai (Siluriforms), the only native fish in the highlands of Imbabura province in the Ecuadorian Andes, was abundant in the past in the Imbakucha watershed and adjacent drainages, but currently it is restricted to a few isolated refuges. Conservation actions are needed if this unique ...

We propose an algorithm for mixed noise reduction in Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI). The hyperspectral data cube is considered as a three order tensor. These tensors give a clear view about both spatial and spectral modes. The HSI provides ample spectral information to identify and distinguish spectrally unique materials, thus they are spectrally over determined. Tensor representation is three ord...

Low-temperature plasma is a new agricultural green technology, which can improve the yield and quality of rice. How to identify harvest rice grown by seed treatment plays an important role in popularization application low-temperature agriculture. This study collected hyperspectral data rice, including treated constructed recognition model based on image (HSI) 3D ResNet (HSI-3DResNet), extracts...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Shenfu injection (SFI), derived from the ancient traditional Chinese medicine (Red Radix Ginseng and Radix Aconitum Carmichaeli), has been widely used in the clinical for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases for more than 20 years. The present study aims to investigate the effects of SFI and its main components on the contraction of isolated rat thoracic aorta rings a...
