This paper introduces an innovative approach to 3D environmental mapping through the integration of a compact, handheld sensor package with a two-stage sensor fusion pipeline.The sensor package, incorporating LiDAR, IMU, RGB, and thermal cameras, enables comprehensive and robust 3D mapping of various environments.By leveraging TurboFlo II Parts Sim
Disrupted neonatal lung angiogenesis and alveologenesis often give rise to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common chronic lung disease in children.Hyperoxia-induced pulmonary vascular and alveolar damage in premature infants is one of the most common and frequent factors contributing to BPD.The purpose of the present study was to explore
Summary: The target of Rapamycin complex1 (TORC1) senses and integrates several environmental signals, including amino acid (AA) availability, to regulate cell growth.Folliculin (FLCN) is a tumor suppressor (TS) protein in renal cell carcinoma, which paradoxically activates TORC1 in response to AA supplementation.Few tractable systems for modeling
Fusarium graminearum is a notorious pathogen that causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops.It produces secondary metabolites, such as deoxynivalenol, diminishing Womens gloves grain quality and leading to lesser crop yield.Many strategies have been developed to combat this pathogenic fungus; however, considering the lack of resistant culti
Abstract Background Patients with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (mMCC) who experience disease progression on immunotherapy have limited additional standard options.Given evidence of synergism between radiation therapy (RT) and immunotherapy, two patients progressing on PD-1 inhibition were referred for short-course RT.Case presentation Two patie
