Apart from established ablation modes according to the European Association of Urology guidelines, various technologies have emerged as safe/effective alternatives but remain under investigation.
Objective: To explore short-term benefits/harms of emerging technologies for surgical management of LUTS/BPO.
Arsenic is a carcinogen, and long-term exposure to it may result in the development of multi-organ disease. Understanding the underlying intricate molecular network of toxicity and carcinogenicity is crucial for identifying a small set of differentially expressed biomarker genes to predict the risk of the exposed population. In this paper, a multiple kernel learning (MKL) embedded multi-objective swarm intelligence technique has been proposed to identify the candidate biomarker genes from the transcriptomic profile of arsenicosis samples.

Microgreen based functional juice blends containing fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), kinnow mandarin (Citrus reticulate) and aloe vera (Aloe brobadensis) in different ratios were blended with sorbitol and stevia. The different ratios of juice blends were analyzed for total soluble solids, sedimentation, viscosity and titrable acidity. They were also screened for total phenolic content, total carotenoid content and antioxidant properties such as DPPH, reducing power and metal chelating activity.

The dynamical properties in the non-interacting regime are studied using an exact numerical approach whereas the steady state properties are obtained following the well-known non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach. By means of mutual information and concurrence we explore the connection between the quantum correlations in the system and the current flowing through the dots.
