Double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are viewed as the golden standard of drug research in Western medicine.However, RCTs are far from "golden" in many respects.They are impractical for many therapies, such as for surgeries and complex lifestyle changes.They encourage a one-size-fits-all approach to medical treatment that fails to addre
Image encryption methods aim to protect content privacy.Typically, they encompass scrambling and diffusion.Every pixel of the image is permuted (scrambling) and its value is transformed according to a key (diffusion).Although several methods have been proposed in the literature, some of them have been cryptanalyzed.In this paper, we present a novel
Accessibility plays an important role in alleviating rural poverty.Previous studies Baking Dishes have explored the relationship between accessibility and rural poverty, but they offer limited evidence of the collective influence of multiscale transport accessibility (town-level, county-level, and prefecture-level accessibility) and its nonlinear e
Electrospun nanofiber constructs represent a promising alternative for mimicking the natural extracellular matrix in vitro and have significant potential for cardiac patch applications.While the effect of fiber orientation on the morphological structure of cardiomyocytes has been investigated, fibers only provide contact guidance without accounting
Coats Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst) is a devastating wheat disease worldwide.Potential application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in detection of pathogen amounts in latently Pst-infected wheat leaves was investigated for disease prediction and control.A total of 300 near-infrared spectra were acquired from the
