Smartphone-based devices and applications (SBDAs) with cost effectiveness and remote sensing are the most promising and effective means of delivering mobile healthcare (mHealthcare).Several SBDAs have been commercialized for the personalized monitoring and/or management of basic physiological parameters, such as blood pressure, weight, body analysi

In healthy individuals, immune checkpoint molecules prevent autoimmune responses and limit immune cell-mediated tissue damage.Tumors frequently exploit these molecules to evade eradication by the immune system.Over the past Confectionery years, immune checkpoint blockade of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) eme

Rice yield is an important and complex agronomic trait controlled by multiple genes.In recent decades, dozens of yield-associated genes in rice have been cloned, many of which can increase production in the form of loss or degeneration of function.However, mutations occurring randomly under natural conditions have provided very limited genetic reso

This study was undertaken to create an Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus; ABB) ethogram during hibernation and to describe the time budget of hibernating behaviours in ABB.Seven captive adult ABB were included in the study and began hibernation between October and December.Data were collected for three consecutive years (2013-2015) during ABB hi
