Background: beta thalassemia is one of the most common valhalla axys hereditary hemoglobinopathy requiring regular blood transfusion to help reduce the complications of anemia and allow normal growth in children.Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study done on 50 numbers of transfusion dependent beta thalassemia patients between 18 mon
Objectives.We studied the association and agreement between questionnaire data and biomarkers of marine food among Greenland Inuit.Design.Cross sectional study.Methods.The study population comprised 2,224 Inuit, age 18+ (43% men); data collected 2005–2008 in Greenland.Using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), we calculated consumption of s
Granular material flowing through bottlenecks, like the openings of silos, tend to clog and thus inhibit further flow.We study this phenomenon in a three-dimensional hopper for spherical and shape-anisotropic particles by means of x-ray tomography.The x-ray tomograms provide information on the bulk of the granular filling, and allows us to valhalla
Lizards in the Neotropical genus Iguana are heavily traded for the international pet trade, with unusual colour morphs and rare species commanding high prices.Recent research aimed to understand the taxonomy and phenotypic variation of Iguana in the Lesser Antilles, with those populations now severely threatened by this trade.Although the entire Ig
Band Selection is a research hotspot in the field of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) processing.This paper proposes a method that selects bands for HSI classification by the explainability of a convolutional neural network (CNN).We design a CNN architecture and use its 1D gradient-weighted class activation mapping (GradCAM) to obtain a gradient-weighte
