Background: Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) have fewer oocytes than would be expected at their age.While a decrease in ovarian reserve is a normal part of ageing, some women experience a decrease beyond what is physiologically expected due to normal age-related decline.Optimal management of women with DOR remains unclear, with medically
Chronic and recurrent infections have been attributed to persisters in biofilms, and despite this importance, the mechanisms of persister formation in biofilms remain unclear.The plethora of biofilm characteristics that could give rise to persisters, including slower growth, quorum signaling, oxidative stress, and nutrient heterogeneity, have compl
The high efficiency, flexibility, and low cost of robots provide huge opportunities for the application and development of intelligent logistics.Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the non-contact nature of robots effectively helped with preventing the spread of the epidemic.Task allocation and path planning according to actual problems is one
This paper proposes a dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) driver featuring a simply southern cat shirt high power factor and zero-voltage switching on (ZVS).The circuit is obtained by integrating a boost converter and a dc-dc converter with half-bridge topology.The high power factor is achieved by operating the boost converter in discontinuous curr
West Nile Virus (WNV) has been detected annually in Maricopa County, Arizona, since 2003.With this in mind, we sought to determine if contemporary strains are endemic to the county or are annually imported.As part of this effort, we developed a new protocol for tiled amplicon sequencing of WNV to efficiently attain greater than 99% coverage of 14 W
