Abstract Background Peripheral nerve reflexes enable organ systems to maintain long-term physiological homeostasis while responding to rapidly changing environmental conditions.Electrical nerve stimulation is commonly used to Plates activate these reflexes and modulate organ function, giving rise to an emerging class of therapeutics called bioelect

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem.An emerging menace in India is drug resistant forms of TB.In order to ensure proper TB diagnosis and case management, reduce TB transmission and address the problems of emergence of spread of Drug Resistant-TB, it is essential to have complete information of all TB cases.Therefore, eye Scissors Gov

With the introduction in recent years of high-yield blight-resistant chestnut varieties, the commercial chestnut industry in the United States is expanding.Accompanying this expansion is a resurgence in a primary pest of chestnut: C.sayi, the lesser chestnut weevil.This weevil damages the nut crop and infestations can surge from 0 to close to 100%

This paper proposes a quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QiEA) to solve an optimal service-matching task-assignment problem.Our proposed algorithm comes with the advantage of generating always feasible population individuals and, thus, eliminating the necessity for a repair step.That is, with respect to other quantum-inspired evolutionary alg

Security risks and economic losses of civil aviation caused by Foreign Object Debris (FOD) have increased rapidly.Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs) with high resolutions potentially have the capability to detect FODs on the runways, but the target echo is hard to be distinguished from strong Neuro Optimizer clutter.This paper proposes a clutter-anal
