DIABETIC FOOT SELF-CARE PRACTICES AMONG ADULT DIABETIC PATIENTS: A DESCRIPTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY



Comparative Transcriptional Profiling Established the Awn as the Major Photosynthetic Organ of the Barley Spike While the Lemma and the Palea Primarily Protect the Seed

The lemma, palea, and awn of a barley ( L.) spike are photosynthetic organs that supply the developing seed with carbohydrates.The lemma and makeup palette palea also enclose the seed and protect it from pathogens and insects.Despite the important roles they play, little information exists on gene expression in these organs that identifies their fu

Accurate quantification of dislocation loops in complex functional alloys enabled by deep learning image analysis

Abstract In-depth statistics of individual defects observed during transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments are essential for the thorough characterization of materials.In this study, we aim to quantitatively characterize the population of Cocktail Napkins dislocation loops in ion-irradiated CrFeMnNi alloys.To this end, we propose an effi

Factors Affecting Haul-Out Behavior of Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) in Tidewater Glacier Inlets in Alaska: Can Tourism Vessels and Seals Coexist?

Large numbers of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) use habitat in tidewater glaciers in Alaska for pupping, breeding, and molting.Glacial fjords are also popular tourist destinations; however, visitation by numerous vessels can result in disturbance of seals during critical life-history phases.We explored factors affecting haul-out behavior of harbor s
