Primary hyperaldosteronism is described in a 27-year-old Brazilian woman from an endemic area of schistosomiasis. She presented with hypokalaemia, cramps and polyuria, refractory hypertension, plasma aldosterone of 40.7 ng/dL and aldosterone/renin activity ratio higher than 100, due to an associated long-standing unsuspected aldosteronoma. Computed tomography showed a well-defined ovoid right a...

Fast and accurate salient-object detectors are important for various image processing and computer vision applications, such as adaptive compression and object segmentation. It is also desirable to have a detector that is aware of the position and the size of the salient objects. In this paper, we propose a salient-object detection method that is fast, accurate, and size-aware. For efficient co...

Graphene oxide microcapsules (GOMs) have been prepared through Pickering emulsion method by varying the disperse speed to study its effect on GOM’s size. The GOMs were characterized phase separation observation, polarized optical microscope (POM), and particle size analyser (PSA). Phase observation showed more viscous cloudy was produced when increased. After 24 hours, only 800 rpm did not show...

(This can be shown using a basis argument, which would amount to what most of you wrote anyway.) Thus, given S ∈ L(V ) such that imS ⊆ imT , we can define R = (T |W )−1S, from which it follows TR = S. Conversely, if S = TR, then since linear operators preserve inclusion and R(V ) ⊆ V , we have S(V ) = (TR)(V ) ⊆ T (V ); that is, imS ⊆ imT . 2. Let T be a linear operator on V with distinct eigen...
