ACCURATE QUANTIFICATION OF DISLOCATION LOOPS IN COMPLEX FUNCTIONAL ALLOYS ENABLED BY DEEP LEARNING IMAGE ANALYSIS

Accurate quantification of dislocation loops in complex functional alloys enabled by deep learning image analysis

Abstract In-depth statistics of individual defects observed during transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments are essential for the thorough characterization of materials.In this study, we aim to quantitatively characterize the population of dislocation loops in ion-irradiated CrFeMnNi alloys.To this end, we propose an efficient guideline t

Rejuvenated Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Nitric Oxide in Premenopausal Women with Hyperhomocysteinemia

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) induced endothelial dysfunction is associated with disturbance in circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).Nevertheless, whether this unfavorable effect of HHcy on circulating EPCs also exists in premenopausal women is still unknown.Therefore, this leaves an area for the investigation of the difference on the numb

Novel Clostridium difficile Anti-Toxin (TcdA and TcdB) Humanized Monoclonal Antibodies Demonstrate In Vitro Neutralization across a Broad Spectrum of Clinical Strains and In Vivo Potency in a Hamster Spore Challenge Model.

Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) infection (CDI) is the main cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated colitis and increased incidence of community-associated diarrhea in industrialized countries.At present, the primary treatment of CDI is antibiotic administration, which is effective but often associated with recurrence, especially in the elder
