There is increasing interest in the environmental fate and effects of engineered nanomaterials due to their ubiquitous use in consumer products.In particular, given the mounting evidence that dramatic transformations can occur to a nanomaterial throughout its product lifecycle, the appropriateness of using pristine nanomaterials in environmental te
Different Clinicoradiological Characteristics of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in Pediatric Oncology and Post-Bone Marrow Transplantation Cases: A Retrospective Study
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is receiving increasing recognition in pediatrics.However, comparisons between PRES in pediatric oncology Sideboard and post-bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are lacking.Therefore, we aimed to describe the risk factors and clinical and radiological features of PRES and investigate the differences
Vulnerability assessment for reducing risk of environmental hazards based on ecosystem services: Case of Alborz Province
Introduction: The comprehensive identification of hazard risks in order to protect against them is one of the main steps in environmental management.Given the importance of environmental impact assessment in sustainable development, the development of a comprehensive system consisting of effective indicators is vital for the creation or exacerbatio
Biometric Quantization through Detection Rate Optimized Bit Allocation
Extracting binary strings from real-valued biometric templates is a fundamental step in many biometric template protection systems, such as fuzzy commitment, fuzzy extractor, secure sketch, and helper data systems.Previous work has been focusing on the design of optimal quantization and coding for each single feature component, yet the binary strin
