There are two essential elements to this paper.In the first instance, we explore the specific details of revenue and expenditure trends for local authorities over the last decade.The analysis is framed against a longer-term political context of forty years which focuses especially on the weakness of local government in Ireland.Despite an official n

The attainment of a satisfactory operating point is one of the main problems in the tuning of particle accelerators.These are extremely complex facilities, characterized by the absence of a model that Alpha Lipoic Acid accurately describes their dynamics, and by an often persistent noise which, along with machine drifts, affects their behaviour in

In the uncooled infrared imaging systems, owing to the non-uniformity of the amplifier in the readout circuit, the infrared image has obvious stripe noise, which greatly affects its quality.In this study, the generation mechanism of stripe noise is analyzed, and a new stripe correction algorithm based on wavelet analysis and gradient equalization i

NKp46 is a major determinant of natural killer (NK) cell function and it is implicated in tumor immune surveillance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of NKp46 expression in an independent cohort of patients with AML, and to investigate the impact of NKp46 on clinical outcome aft

Accurate segmentation of large choroidal vessels using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images enables unprecedented quantitative analysis to understand choroidal diseases.In this paper, we propose a novel multi-scale and fine-grained network called MFGNet.Since choroidal vessels are small targets, long-range dependencies need to be considered, t
