Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is considered a major health problem recognized globally.HCV is a major cause of chronic liver disease that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of multiple (mixed) HCV genotypes in Saudi patients recently diagnosed with HCV infection and their a
Although most models conceptualize a metacommunity as a collection of habitat patches embedded in a matrix that is not hospitable to life, new applications of metacommunity theory to host-microbiome systems have shown this assumption to be flawed.Frequently the matrix is at least somewhat hospitable to the species that normally reside in the habita
Traumatic central nervous system injury can cause imbalance in intestinal microenvironmental homeostasis by disrupting intestinal barrier function, while the disturbed intestinal microenvironment can react on the central nervous system and aggravate the secondary injury of it.A large number of studies suggest that the intestinal barrier plays an im
Unmanned mining is one of the most effective methods to solve mine safety and low efficiency.However, it is the key to accurate localization and mapping for underground mining environment.A novel graph simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) optimization method is proposed, which is based on Generalized Iterative Closest Point (GICP) three-dim
Low energy utilization is observed in China due to the extensive economic growth mode, which further leads to considerable energy wastes and environmental pollution.The construction industry plays an important role in the national economic development of China and consumes tremendous materials; thus, this industry discharges abundant CO2.The energy
