Abstract Background Lung cancer is a malignant carcinoma which has the highest morbidity and mortality in Chinese population.Gefitinib, a tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), displays anti-tumor activity.The present data regarding first-line treatment with single agent gefitinib against non-small-cell lung canc
Function and flexibility of object exploration in kea and New Caledonian crows
A range of non-human animals frequently manipulate and explore objects in their environment, which may enable them to learn about physical properties and potentially form more abstract concepts of properties such as weight and rigidity.Whether Health animals can apply the information learned during their exploration to solve novel problems, however
Integrated Metagenomic Assessment of Multiple Pre-harvest Control Points on Lettuce Resistomes at Field-Scale
An integrated understanding of factors influencing the occurrence, distribution, and fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in vegetable production systems is needed to inform the design and development of strategies for mitigating the potential for antibiotic resistance propagation in the food chain.The goal of the present study was to holisti
Dynamic Window Approach Using GOA Search Algorithm for Collision Avoidance Based on Obstacle Trajectory Prediction
Mobile robots not only need to navigate autonomously in complex environments, but also need to avoid collisions with dynamic obstacles, especially pedestrians.This paper realizes dynamic obstacles detection and state estimation algorithm with LiDAR data, BUNDLING SPRAY and proposes the path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithm based on dynamic
Spotlight on Technology: In Situ Technologies for Studying Deep-Sea Hotspot Ecosystems
Cold seeps, hydrothermal vents, deep water coral reefs, and submarine canyon systems are hotspot habitats characterized by intermediate to high fluid advection.They are shaped by a complex interplay of Armada physical, biological, geochemical, and geological processes.Biogeochemical and physicochemical gradients in these ecosystems are frequently e
