Abstract Molecular mechanisms regulating preterm birth (PTB)-associated cervical remodeling remain unclear.Prior work demonstrated an altered miRNA profile, with significant increases in miR-143 and miR-145, in cervical cells of women destined to have a PTB.The study objective was to determine the effect of miR-143 and miR-145 on the cervical epith
A living critical interpretive synthesis to yield a framework on the production and dissemination of living evidence syntheses for decision-making
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact in the global research production and has also increased research waste.Living evidence syntheses (LESs) seek to regularly update a body of evidence addressing a specific question.During the COVID-19 pandemic, the production and dissemination of LESs emerged as a cornerstone
An optimized approach to germ-free rearing in the jewel wasp Nasonia
Development of a Nasonia in vitrogerm-free rearing system in 2012 enabled investigation of Nasonia-microbiota interactions and real-time visualization of parasitoid metamorphosis.However, the use of antibiotics, bleach, and fetal bovine serum introduced artifacts relative to conventional rearing of Nasonia.Here, we optimize the germ-free read more
RGB-D Visual SLAM Based on Yolov4-Tiny in Indoor Dynamic Environment
For a SLAM system operating in a dynamic indoor environment, its position estimation accuracy and visual odometer stability could be reduced because the system can be easily affected by moving obstacles.In this paper, a visual SLAM algorithm based on the Yolov4-Tiny network is proposed.Meanwhile, a dynamic feature point elimination strategy based o
