Investigating the Correlation Between Presence and Reaction Time in Mixed Reality.

Measuring presence is critical to improving user involvement and performance in Mixed Reality (MR). Presence, a crucial aspect of MR, is traditionally gauged using subjective questionnaires, leading to a lack of time-varying responses and susceptibility to user bias. Inspired by the existing literature on the relationship between presence and human performance, the proposed methodology systematically measures a user's reaction time to a visual stimulus as they interact within a manipulated MR environment.

SLC11A1 genetic variation and low expression may cause immune response impairment in TB patients.

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Host genetic factors are important for the detection of TB susceptibility. SLC11A1 is located in monocyte phagolysosomes that help to limit M.

Decreased classical monocytes and CD163 expression in TB patients: an indicator of drug resistance.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease instigated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Peripheral blood monocytes represent highly efficient effector cells of innate immunity against TB. Little is known about monocyte subsets and their potential involvement in the development of M.
