In this work we assessed the environmental factors associated with the spatial distribution of a cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) outbreak during 2015-2016 in north-eastern Argentina to understand its typical or atypical eco-epidemiological pattern.We combined locations of human CL cases with relevant predictors derived from analysis of remote sensing
The complement system orchestrates a multi-faceted immune response to the invading pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Macrophages engulf the mycobacterial bacilli through bacterial cell surface proteins or secrete proteins, which activate the complement pathway.The classical pathway is activated by C1q, which binds to antibody antigen complexes.W
In this paper, a novel adaptive second-order sliding mode (2-SM) control approach, based on online zero-crossing detection, was proposed to solve the problems of the chattering and fixed control gain for buck converters with multi-disturbances.In modeling, the possible parameter perturbations and external disturbances of the converter system were S
It has been Bookcase proved that, in the classical planar circular restricted three-body problem, the degenerate saddle point processes transverse homoclinic orbits.Since the standard Smale-Birkhoff theorem cannot be directly applied to indicate the chaotic dynamics of the Smale horseshoe type, Broccoli we in this note alternatively apply the Conle
In most of the world, people have regular exposure to multiple accents.Therefore, learning to quickly process accented speech is a prerequisite to successful communication.In this paper, we examine work on the perception of accented speech across the lifespan, from early infancy to late adulthood.Unfamiliar accents initially impair Hayward C-Spa XI
