In this article, we consider a version of the challenging problem of learning from datasets whose size is too limited to allow generalisation beyond the training set.To address the challenge, we propose to use a transfer learning approach whereby the model is first trained on a synthetic dataset replicating features of the original objects.In this
Background Managed populations of the alfalfa leafcutting bee (ALCB), Megachile rotundata (F.), are often not sustainable.In addition to numerous mortality factors that contribute to this, the dense bee populations used to maximize alfalfa pollination quickly deplete floral resources available to bees later in the summer.Providing alternative flora
We investigated the hibernation effect of epigallocatechin-3- O -gallate (EGCG) on neonatal human tarsal fibroblasts (nHTFs) by analyzing the expression of cell cycle-related genes.EGCG application to culture media moderately inhibited the growth of nHTFs, and the removal of EGCG from culture media led to complete recovery of cell growth.EGCG resul
Abstract Background Millions of people are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) worldwide each year.While surgical approaches are the standard treatment, some patients are appropriate candidates for radiation therapy for NMSC.High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy using surface applicators has shown efficacy rb3519 replacement lenses in the
