Application of artificial intelligence in green building concept for energy auditing using drone technology under different environmental conditions.

Thermal losses through weak building envelope is responsible for global current energy crises. Application of artificial intelligence and drone setups in green buildings can help in providing the sustainable solution the world is striving for years. The contemporary research incorporates a novel concept of measuring the wearing thermal resistances in the building envelope with the aid of a drone system.

Immunohistochemistry and Radiomic Features for Survival Prediction in Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of different immunohistochemical and radiomics features in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Consecutive patients with histologically proven SCLC with limited ( = 47, 48%) or extensive disease ( = 51, 52%) treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy at our department were included in the analysis. The expression of different immunohistochemical markers from the initial tissue biopsy, such as CD56, CD44, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, TTF-1, GLUT-1, Hif-1 a, PD-1, and PD-L1, and MIB-1/KI-67 as well as LDH und NSE from the initial blood sample were evaluated.

NHL-ChirEx: An interprofessional cross-border education initiative in the Greater Region with a focus on radiation morbidity and patient safety.

NHL-ChirEx is an interprofessional cross-border education project that addresses the potential excess of radiation induced morbidity throughout the radiation planning and treatment process. NHL-ChirEx is supported by ESTRO and the University of the Greater Region and has been recently approved and funded under INTERREG VA Programme.

Strong convergence of gradient projection method for generalized equilibrium problem in a Banach space.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a hybrid iterative method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized equilibrium problem, the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem, and the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping in a real Banach space. Further, we prove the strong convergence of the sequences generated by the iterative scheme. Finally, we derive some consequences from our main result.

Report on immediate irradiation of a rapidly growing sarcoma of the scalp prior to wound closure.

Cutaneous sarcomas are primarily treated with extensive surgery, and occasionally require adjuvant radiation therapy following complete wound healing. Thus, sarcoma surgery leads to large and deep wounds, and the initiation of adjuvant radiation therapy depends on the time required for defect closure. We present the case of a male patient with pleomorphic sarcoma of the temporal skin, which was treated with multiple wide and deep excisions, instant application of an Integra(®) bilayer, and immediate radiation therapy prior to wound closure.

Molecular imprinting method for fabricating novel glucose sensor: polyvinyl acetate electrode reinforced by MnO2/CuO loaded on graphene oxide nanoparticles.

An enzyme free glucose sensor was prepared by a molecular imprinting method (MIP). The procedure was developed by in situ preparation of a new polyvinyl acetate (PVA) electrode reinforced by MnO2/CuO loaded on graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles (PVA/MnO2@GO/CuO). The nanocomposite was modified in the presence of glucose and then imprinted.

Using nano-chitosan for harvesting microalga Nannochloropsis sp.

In this study, chitosan and nano-chitosan were used as flocculants agents for harvesting microalga Nannochloropsis sp. chitosan was modified to nano-chitosan by crosslinking with sodium tripolyphosphate. The effects of type and dosage of flocculants and the pH of the culture were investigated on biomass recovery.

Direct visual inspection of the cervix for the detection of premalignant lesions.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and performance of direct visual inspection (DVI) of the cervix as a primary tool for the detection of premalignant lesions of the cervix (HPV/CIN 1 and CIN 2,3).

Setting: The early cancer detection unit at the Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital in Cairo, Egypt.

Subjects And Methods: The study included 2049 women.
