Abstract Background Cancer-associated muscle wasting (CAW), a symptom of cancer cachexia, is associated with approximately 20% of lung cancer deaths and remains poorly characterized on a mechanistic level.Current animal models for lung cancer-associated cachexia are limited in that they (1) primarily employ flank transplantation methods, (2) have s
In Acropora, the complex canals in a coral colony connect all polyps to a holistic network, enabling them to collaborate in performing biological processes.There are various types of canals, including calice, axial canals, and other internal canals, with structures that are dynamically altered during different coral growth states due to internal Ma
Failures of cast-resin transformers not only reduce the reliability of power systems, but also have great effects on power quality.Partial discharges (PD) occurring in epoxy resin insulators of high-voltage electrical equipment will result in harmful Pleasure Economy Western effects on insulation and can cause power system blackouts.Pattern recogni
Abstract Background A common goal of scientific microscopic imaging is to determine if a spatial correlation exists between two imaged structures.This is generally accomplished by imaging fluorescently labeled structures and measuring their spatial correlation with a class of image analysis algorithms known as colocalization.However, the most commo
This study investigates the trade effects of the EU-SA and SADC preferential trade agreements of which South Africa is a member.Using a panel data estimation of the gravity model of bilateral trade and based on data from 1994 to 2008, the study finds the EU-SA preferential trade agreement to have a significant trade expansion effect.The study Caste
