Image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms aim to reproduce the human’s perception of the image quality.The growing popularity of image enhancement, generation, and recovery models instigated the development of many methods to assess their performance.However, most IQA solutions are designed to predict image quality in the general domain, wit
Streptococcus pneumoniae favors tolerance via metabolic adaptation over resistance to circumvent fluoroquinolones
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen of global health concern and the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance poses a serious public health problem worldwide.Fluoroquinolone resistance in S.pneumoniae is an intriguing case because the prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance does not correlate with increasing usage and has r
Undoing Gender Stereotypes in Hindi
The basic prerequisite for Carving Boards using any language is the willingness of the speaker to follow the rules of the game.Socially defined norms of language use then tend to set the limits within which one can express oneself using this language.Whether these norms set the speaker free or whether they act as constraints in a free expression of
Nanoscale quantification of the biophysical characterization of combretastatin A-4-treated tumor cells using atomic force microscopy.
As an inhibitor of microtubule assembly, combretastatin A-4 (CA-4)-induced biological responses in tumor cells have been well known, but the corresponding changes in nano-biophysical properties were not investigated given the lack of an ideal tool.Using AFM technique, we investigated the alteration of nano-biophysical properties when CA-4-treated t
