Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which ultimately leads to liver cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, and hepatocellular 1073spx carcinoma (HCC), remains a significant disease burden worldwide.Despite the use of antiviral therapy (AVT) using oral nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) with high genetic barriers, the risk of HCC development cannot be
Abstract Background Anxiety affects a quarter of strokes.It can be disabling even after mild stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA).It is not feasible to deliver conventional psychological therapies to the large population of anxious stroke and TIA patients.We are testing the feasibility of a web-enabled randomised controlled trial (RCT) to co
Honey adulteration with cheap sweeteners such as corn syrup or invert syrup results in honey of lesser quality that can harm the objectives of both manufacturers and consumers.Therefore, there is a growing interest for the development of a fast and simple method for adulteration detection.In this work, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was used for
This study aimed to analyse the effect of dried banana powder ellakai (BP) on common wheat pasta characteristics.Wheat flour (type 500) was replaced with 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of BP.Control pasta without BP addition was also prepared.Pasta quality parameters including texture, colour, cooking characteristics and sensory evaluation were determined.T
The Kalman filter is an iterative state estimation algorithm employed extensively, including in electricity generation, aerospace, robotics, etc.Inputting noisy measurements on a dynamical system, it outputs a state estimate and associated covariance.This work focuses on the time evolution of the covariance matrix given regular, uniform measurement
