Background: Although advances in cancer therapy continue to develop, the overall survival rate is poor for some cancer cases. The search for a new adjuvant strategy is the focus of cancer treatment. There is some evidence suggesting a change in the mechanism of cell function by a change in the content of deuterium in the medium. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the ...

Soil moisture is an important yet unobserved reservoir of the hydrologic cycle linked to the spatial and temporal variability of precipitation [1]. The brightness temperature of the land surface at microwave wavelengths is sensitive to soil moisture. Terrestrial brightness temperature also depends on the temperature of the soil and vegetation canopy as well as other canopy and soil properties [...

We present a dew point temperature sensor with the thermal detection of condensed water on a thin membrane, fabricated by silicon micromachining. The membrane (600 × 600 ×∼1 μm3) is part of a silicon chip and contains a heating element as well as a thermopile for temperature measurement. By dynamically heating the membrane and simultaneously analyzing the transient increase of its temperature i...

Directional information is an important and unique feature of multidimensional signals. As a result of a separable extension from one-dimensional (1-D) bases, multidimensional wavelet transforms have very limited directionality. Furthermore, different directions are mixed in certain wavelet subbands. In this paper, we propose a simple directional extension for wavelets (DEW) that fixes this sub...

OBJECTIVE Numerous published reports have linked various disease states and pregnancy-related conditions with meteorologic factors such as weather, humidity, and temperature. The purpose of this study was to determine if temperature and dew point affect the incidence of pyelonephritis during pregnancy. METHODS A retrospective chart review of a 4-year period from 1989 to 1992 was performed. Th...
