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
Abstract Background Alpine alder vegetation acts upon the nearby grass and dwarf shrub vegetation by the nitrogen supply from the symbiotic bacteria Frankia alni of Alnus viridis.This has been studied in two transects concerning plant distribution, plant diversity, nitrate concentration in soil and photosynthetic performance of specific marker plan
Non-destructive ultrasound inspection of metallic structures is a perpetual high-interest area of research because of its well-known benefits in industrial applications, especially from an economic point of view, where detection and localisation of defects in their most initial stages can help maintain high production capabilities for any enterpris
Fragrance Presently, the exponential growth of unstructured data on the web and social networks has made it increasingly challenging for individuals to retrieve relevant information efficiently.Over the years, various text summarization techniques have been developed to address this issue.However, traditional approaches that rely on directly extrac
The chirality quantification is of great importance in structural biology, where the differences in proteins twisting can provide essentially different physiological effects.However, this aspect of the chirality is still poorly studied for helix-like supramolecular structures.In this work, a method for chirality quantification based on the calculat
