Whole slide images (WSIs) play a vital role in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, their gigapixel resolution, lack of pixel-level annotations, and reliance on unimodal visual data present challenges for accurate and efficient computational analysis. Existing methods typically divide WSIs into thousands of patches, which increases computational demands and makes it challenging to effectively focus on diagnostically relevant regions.

However, certain challenges hinder its application for the one-step production of adipic acid (AA), highlighting the need for further advancements. This study presents a successful strategy for preparing a porous coral-shaped tungsten-iron-lanthanum solid solution (L-WFeLaO-450) through a combination of cold gelation and calcination methods.

Sediment samples were collected from five estuaries and adjacent marine areas at varying depths. PBDE and OPE concentrations ranged from 0.

Several camelid single-domain antibodies (or VHHs) have been reported to exhibit high neutralizing activity against the receptor binding domain (H ) of the BoNT/A subtype used to generate them. However, it remains unclear if these VHHs can neutralize effectively H of other BoNT/A subtypes.

The results indicate a positive relationship between bank liquidity risk and income diversification, as well as loan interest rates. This implies that banks with greater income diversification tend to have higher liquidity ratios and reduce the bank risk and conversely.
