Detection, characterisation and risk factor of Leptospira spp. among dogs and dog handlers by Goh, Soon Heng

“…In conclusion, MAT remains a gold standard test for serological diagnosis and surveillance, however, detailed considerations should be taken when interpreting results of clinical cases with the presence of anti-leptospiral antibodies, as paired serum for better interpretation was required. …”

“…Observations of the rate of emission and composition of volcanic plumes are essential to recognize and, in some cases, predict the state of volcanic activity. Measurements of the size and location of the plumes are important to assess the impact of the emission from sporadic or localized events to persistent or widespread processes of climatic and environmental importance. …”

“…Plasma F2-IsoP concentrations also inversely correlated with red cell deformability and were higher in fatal cases. Mixed effects modeling including an interaction term for CFH and time showed that F2-IsoPs, IsoFs, PfHRP2, CFH, and red cell rigidity were independently associated with increasing creatinine over 72 h. …”

Deep learning-based concrete image analysis and generalization capability by Qian, Hanjie

“…Another generalization capability issue related to models trained on SEM data is the unavailability of labels in new scenarios, which may have data from a different distribution. In such cases, obtaining labels becomes unfeasible. However, traditional research has often overlooked this constraint and instead selected the best results based on the model's performance on new data. …”

Synthesis and optical study of lead halide perovskites for opto-electronic applications by Ha, Son Tung

“…In this chapter, the lasing behavior of several materials will be discussed in detail such as: layered PbI2 (i.e., precursor of perovskite), 3D perovskite nanoplatelets, and 2D perovskite flake. In most cases, the lasing mechanism was attributed to whispering gallery mode (WGM) cavity which was naturally formed in the crystal. …”

Preparation of low-dimensional materials for plasmonic bio-sensing by Das, Chandreyee Manas

“…Also, when the thickness of the dielectric layer(s) above and/or below the SPR metal film is below a threshold value of 3 nm, the non-locality effect comes into picture where the metal can no longer be represented by a bulk permittivity. In these cases, the evaluation method needs to be modified so that the non-local effect can be considered. …”
