Abstract Background The prevention of methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) transmission in the healthcare setting is a priority in Infection Control practices.A cornerstone of this policy is contact tracing of nosocomial contacts after an unexpected MRSA finding.The objective of this retrospective study was to quantify the rates of MRSA transmissi
Context: The increase in cancer morbidity and mortality, as well as high cost and adverse effects of the available cancer therapies, necessitate the need for the discovery of new and safe anticancer agents.Many medicinal plants, which have served as sources of beneficial drugs were revealed through an ethnobotanical survey.Aims: To reveal and docum
This study introduces a novel controller based on a Reinforcement Learning Posts (RL) algorithm for real-time adaptation of the stimulation pattern during FES-cycling.Core to our approach is the introduction of an RL agent that interacts with the cycling environment and learns through trial and error how to modulate the electrical charge applied to
Properties of mineral wool products are, to a significant extent, pre-set by conditions of their thermal treatment.The findings of analytical and experimental researches into patterns of thermal treatment of mineral wool carpets have been converted into dominant factors of influence used to compile a network of factor-to-factor dependencies and res
