Abstract Background Chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis, present significant threats to global health.Recent studies have revealed the crucial role of the lung microbiome in the development of these diseases.Pathogens have evolved complex strategies to evade the immune response, with
MHD solitons are studied in a model where the usual Hall-MHD model is extended to include the finite Larmor radius (FLR) corrections to Decanters the pressure tensor.The resulting 4-dimensional set of differential equations is treated numerically.In this extended model, the point at infinity can be of several types.Necessary for the existence of lo
A contactless method based on infrared image matching is presented for zero-value insulator detection on outdoor porcelain insulator string.An improved SIFT (scale-invariant feature transformation) method is developed to extract features and accomplish the pre-matching between the insulator string to be detected and the standard string in the image
This article presents a qualitative study that examines hate speech (HS) from the perspectives of the most representative minority communities in Portugal, namely Afro-descendants, Roma, and LGBTQ+.The empirical research employed three focus groups, each with a representation of these communities (n=17), Legends with the primary goal of investigati
