ECOLOGICAL FACTORS RELATED TO THE WIDESPREAD DISTRIBUTION OF SYLVATIC RHODNIUS ECUADORIENSIS POPULATIONS IN SOUTHERN ECUADOR

Ecological factors related to the widespread distribution of sylvatic Rhodnius ecuadoriensis populations in southern Ecuador

Abstract Background Chagas disease transmission risk is a function of the presence of triatomines in domestic habitats.Rhodnius ecuadoriensis is one of the main vectors implicated in transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in Ecuador.This triatomine species is present in domestic, peridomestic and sylvatic habitats in the country.To determine the distrib

IWT and RSA based asymmetric image encryption algorithm

An asymmetric image encryption algorithm based on integer wavelet transformation (IWT) and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm is proposed.Firstly, two plain characteristic parameters (PCP) of the plain image are extracted and two random numbers are chosen.Then, a new parameter transformation model (PTM) is constructed to do nonlinear processing

Case report: Metastatic gastric squamous cell carcinoma with long duration of complete response via three-staged radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Introduction: Primary Gastric Squamous Cell Carcinoma (GSCC), especially in late-stage, is a very rare pathological type with poor prognosis.We Wheat Flours report a long duration of Complete Response (CR) of GSCC case with multiple metastases by an elaborate three-staged radical Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).Case presentation: A 36-year-old
