Background: Seroma is a strange gathering of serous fluid within the dead space of post-mastectomy skin flaps and axilla, or after breast-conserving surgery [BCS].Seroma is one of the most commonly reported early post-operative problems following breast cancer [BC] surgery.According to several studies, after a modified radical mastectomy [MRM] or a
SNV-FEAST: microbial source tracking with single nucleotide variants
Abstract Elucidating the sources of a microbiome can provide insight into the ecological dynamics responsible for the formation of these communities.Source tracking approaches to date leverage species abundance Spoon information; however, single nucleotide variants (SNVs) may be more informative because of their high specificity to certain sources.
Selectivity and efficiency: evaluation of synthetic Grapholita molesta sexual pheromones
The effectiveness of pheromone lures for Grapholita molesta (Busck 1916) from Propher (Czech Republic) and Pherobank (Netherlands), the attractiveness of green and transparent pheromone traps and the representation of non-target species were evaluated in Saucer Sets three study areas of southern Moravia (Czech Republic) in 2019-2021 (24 traps per y
Cross-Scene Hyperspectral Feature Selection via Hybrid Whale Optimization Algorithm With Simulated Annealing
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) include hundreds of spectral bands, which lead to Hughes phenomenon in classification task and decrease the classification accuracy.Feature selection can remove redundant and noisy features in the HSIs to overcome this phenomenon.In real applications, we may face a HSI scene with only a few labeled samples.Meanwhile, the
An Efficient Reliability Guaranteed Deployment Scheme for Service Function Chains
This paper encloses an in-depth investigation of a novel cost-efficient reliability-guaranteed deployment scheme for service function chains (SFCs) to tackle the drawbacks of the existing studies for the virtual network function (VNF) redundancy allocation.We model the VNF redundancy allocation as a cost minimization problem using the integer linea
