Abstract Background Evidence from previous studies comparing lung ultrasound to thoracic computed tomography (CT) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is limited due to multiple methodologic weaknesses.While addressing methodologic weaknesses of previous studies, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultra
Verification of the system is essential during the development of a tractor; however, there are cost and Western Saddle time limitations when verification is performed on an actual tractor.To solve this problem, we developed a tractor model for real-time simulation to verify the gear shift performance of the tractor and evaluate the control algorit
Cancer cells rewire metabolism to meet biosynthetic and energetic demands.The characteristic increase in glycolysis, i.e., Warburg effect, now considered as a hallmark, supports cancer in various ways.To attain such metabolic reshuffle, cancer cells preferentially re-express the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2, M2-PK) and alter its quaternary s
