Vision-based multivehicle detection plays an important role in Forward Collision Warning Systems (FCWS) and Blind Spot Detection Systems (BSDS).The performance of these systems depends on the real-time capability, accuracy, and robustness of vehicle detection methods.To improve the accuracy of vehicle detection algorithm, we propose a multifeature
Circumventing Y. pestis Virulence by Early Recruitment of Neutrophils to the Lungs during Pneumonic Plague.
Pneumonic plague is a fatal disease caused by Yersinia pestis that is associated with a delayed immune response in the lungs.Because neutrophils are the first immune cells recruited to sites of infection, we investigated the mechanisms responsible for their delayed homing to the lung.During the first 24 hr after pulmonary infection with a fully vir
Tropical leg lymphedema caused by podoconiosis is associated with increased colonisation by anaerobic bacteria
Abstract The non-filarial and non-communicable disease podoconiosis affects around 4 million people and is characterized by severe leg lymphedema accompanied with painful intermittent acute inflammatory episodes, called acute dermatolymphangioadenitis (ADLA) attacks.Risk factors have been associated with the disease but the mechanisms of pathophysi
