Nowadays, optical sensors are used to digitize sculptural artworks by exploiting various contactless technologies.Cultural Heritage applications may concern 3D reconstructions of sculptural shapes distinguished by small details distributed over large surfaces.These applications require robust multi-view procedures based on aligning several high res
Before the emergence of microbiology in the 1860s, the relationship between health and water was understood to hinge mostly on its manifold mineral qualities; medical treatments often involved bathing in particular waters to take advantage of their curative powers.With the help of microscopes, those waters came Curtain to be seen as home to dangero
We present a severe case of progressive autoimmune pneumonitis requiring surgical intervention in a patient with the monogenic syndrome, autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).APECED is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, which lead to impaired central immune tolerance and a
The study assessed the impact of market orientation on performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs); the mediating role of innovation.The study was conducted on a total of 500 SMEs out of which 391 responses were received representing 78.2% response rate.Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were adopted in selecting the SMEs and ques
The envelope protein (E1-E2) of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major component of the viral structure.The glycosylated envelope protein is considered to be important for initiation of infection by binding to cellular receptor(s) and also known as one of the major antigenic targets to host immune response.The present study was aimed at identifying mou
