Background: Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in ATP7A gene.Depending on the residual ATP7A activity, manifestation may be classical MD, occipital horn syndrome, or distal motor neuropathy.Neurological sparing is expected in female carriers.However, on rare occasions, females may manifest wi
This paper presents a meticulous exploration of advanced machine learning techniques for precise forest frondescence boise type classification using multi-temporal remote sensing data within a woodland environment.The study comprehensively evaluates a diverse range of models, ranging from advanced (ensemble) machine learning (ML) methods to several
We propose an improved semi-empirical scattering model for X-band radar backscattering from rough sea surfaces.This new model has a wider validity range of wind speeds than does the existing semi-empirical sea spectrum (SESS) model.First, we retrieved the small-roughness parameters from the sea surfaces, which were numerically generated using the P
ABSTRACT Objectives: To assess awareness of radiation safety amongst medical and dental students and determine how their knowledge could be improved.Methods: An anonymous electronic survey of medical and dental students at a Canadian university was conducted between February and April 2016.It was made up of 15 close-ended questions assessing knowle
