A drastically growing requirement of electronic packages with an increasing level of complexity poses newer challenges for the competitive manufacturing industry.Coupled with harsher operating conditions, these challenges accessories affirm the need for encapsulated board-level (2nd level) packages.To reduce thermo-mechanical loads induced on the e
Predicting the causative pathogen among children with pneumonia using a causal Bayesian network.
BackgroundPneumonia remains a leading cause of hospitalization and death among young children worldwide, and the diagnostic challenge of differentiating bacterial from non-bacterial pneumonia is the main driver of antibiotic use for treating pneumonia in children.Causal Bayesian networks (BNs) serve as powerful tools for this problem as they provid

Activation of ADAM17 by IL-15 Limits Human NK Cell Proliferation
Natural killer (NK) Fabric Softener cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes that can recognize assorted determinants on tumor cells and rapidly kill these cells.Due to their anti-tumor effector functions and potential for allogeneic use, various NK cell platforms are being examined for adoptive cell therapies.However, their limited in vivo persisten
The toothless pterosaur Jidapterus edentus (Pterodactyloidea: Azhdarchoidea) from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota and its paleoecological implications.
In the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, the toothless pterosaurs flourished with the chaoyangopterids and tapejarids playing a key role in Hydrating Cream understanding the early diversity and evolution of the Azhdarchoidea.Unlike the more diverse tapejarids, the rarer chaoyangopterids are characterized by a long and low rostrum, supporting a close re
