Current morphometric methods that comprehensively measure shape cannot compare the disparate leaf shapes found in seed plants and are sensitive to processing artifacts.We explore the use of persistent homology, a topological method applied as a filtration across simplicial complexes (or more simply, a method to measure topological features of space
Abstract Background Characterization of breast cancer (BC) through the determination of conventional markers such as ER, PR, HER2, and Ki67 has been useful as a predictive and therapeutic tool.Also, assessment of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes has been proposed as an important prognostic aspect to be considered in certain BC subtypes.However, there
In the present article, we investigated the possibility of inducing phantom tactile Large Plate sensations in healthy individuals similar to those that we observed in patients after stroke.On the basis of previous research, we assumed that manipulating visual feedbacks may guide and influence, under certain conditions, the phenomenal experience of
Comprehensive studies on spatial distribution of preantral follicles in the ovary are scarce.Considering that preantral follicles represent the main ovarian reserve, harvesting of these follicles is crucial for the development/use of assisted reproductive techniques.Therefore, knowledge on follicle spatial distribution can be helpful for targeting
