Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell, typical of the elderly, with a median age of over 60 years at diagnosis.In AML, older age is one of the strongest independent adverse prognostic factor, associated with decreased complete response rate, worse disease-free and overall survival, with highest rates of tr
Vascular dysfunction is an early feature of diabetic vascular disease, due to increased oxidative stress and reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability.This can lead to endothelial cell senescence and clinical complications such as stroke.Cells can become senescent by shortened telomeres and oxidative stress is known to accelerate telomere attrition
Monitoring of engineering structures is important for ensuring safety of operation.Traditional surveying methods have proven to be reliable; however, the advent of new point cloud technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) have provided an unprecedented wealth of data.Furthermore, simultaneous loc
A top drive is an essential mechanical device in oil field drilling since it provides the necessary torque for the drilling operations.Manufacturers in the oil and gas industry typically perform in-housing testing and classify the Safe Working Load of top drives.Testing a top drive requires a unique test stand, thus making testing top drives from o
Photovoltaic (PV) system has been extensively used over the last few years because it is a noise-free, clean, and environmentally friendly source of energy.Maximum Power Point (MPP) from the PV energy systems is a challenging task under modules mismatching and partial shading.Up till now, various MPP tracking algorithms have been used for solar PV
