Estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) in 24 h timesteps has been considered sufficiently accurate for a long time. However, recent advances in weather data acquisition has made it feasible to apply the hourly procedures in ETo computation. Hourly timesteps can improve ETo estimates accuracy, for data averaged daily may misrepresent evaporative power during parts of the day. Only a few studies have assessed vast databases, yet, studies considering tropical regions are basically inexistent. ...

Diagnostic methods of TB, nowadays, are prone to delay in diagnosis, increased false negative results and are not sensitive to many forms of paucibacillary disease. The aims of this study were to implement a quantitative nucleic acid-based diagnostic test for paucibacillary tuberculosis, enabling the identification and quantification of viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli by quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). The intergenic region of the single-copy inhA-mabA gene was chosen as the target ...

Pompe disease (PD) is a potentially lethal illness involving irreversible muscle damage resulting from glycogen storage in muscle fiber and activation of autophagic pathways. A promising therapeutic perspective for PD is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with the human recombinant enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (Myozyme®). The need to organize a diagnostic flowchart, systematize clinical follow-up, and establish new therapeutic recommendations has become vital, as ERT ensures greater patient longevity. ...

In a scenario where supplying the increasing demand for food depends highly on irrigation, understanding the temporal and spatial variation of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is essential for water resources management. In the last decades, several models for mapping and monitoring ETa using remote sensing data were developed and studied. In this work, the Simplified Surface Energy Balance for Operational Application (SSEBop) model was applied to estimate actual evapotranspiration of irrigated wheat ...

Abstract The reference evapotranspiration (ETo) has long been used as a climate parameter for many studies in climatology and hydrology. However, many regions suffer from shortage of both meteorological monitoring stations and historical information on ETo. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a daily gridded reference evapotranspiration data set for Brazil that matches the period and grid cells of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) data. ETo was calculated using data from 849 ...

Credit card transactions may contain some categorical attributes with large domains, involving up to hundreds of possible values, also known as high-cardinality attributes. The inclusion of such attributes makes analysis harder, due to results with poorer generalization and higher resource usage.

Contrariwise, this paper reports our findings on the positive impacts of using high- ...

Background The Thymectomy Trial in Non-Thymomatous Myasthenia Gravis Patients Receiving Prednisone (MGTX) showed that thymectomy combined with prednisone was superior to prednisone alone in improving clinical status as measured by the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score in patients with generalised non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis at 3 years. We investigated the long-term effects of thymectomy up to 5 years on clinical status, medication requirements, and adverse events. Methods We did a rater- ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that in most cases induces irreversible necrosis of lung tissue as a result of excessive inflammatory reactions. The murine model of TB in resistant C57BL/6 mice infected with reference Mtb strains is widely used in TB studies; however, these mice do not show a necrotic pathology, which restricts their use in studies of irreversible tissue damage. Recently, we demonstrated that necrotic lung lesions could ...

Meeting the ever-growing demand for food depends tightly on irrigation. In this scenario, it is essential to manage the scarce water resources available and so to understand the spatial and temporal variation of actual evapotranspiration (ETa). In the past decades, models for monitoring and mapping ETa applying remote sensing data were developed and assessed. In this work, the performance of the Simple Algorithm for Evapotranspiration Retrieving (SAFER) for estimating the evapotranspiration of two ...
