Novel Image Processing Method for Detecting Strep Throat (Streptococcal Pharyngitis) Using Smartphone

Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2019
In this paper, we propose a novel strep throat detection method using a smartphone with an add-on gadget. Our smartphone-based strep throat detection method is based on the use of camera and flashlight embedded in a smartphone.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Evaluation of a fully automated “sample-to-result” PCR-based diagnostic test for detecting A/C/G Streptococci from throat swab specimens

Microbiology Spectrum
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and group C/G Streptococcus (GCS/GGS) species cause bacterial pharyngitis in both adults and children. Occasionally, GAS can cause invasive and severe infections like septicemia, streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome, and ...

Stress-testing of the throat of a rocket's nozzle [PDF]

, 1969
Test motor in which high initial pressure can be reduced suddenly provides a method of testing stress effects in the throat of a rockets nozzle. Motors operating pressure is increased to aggravate tensile stresses in a submerged throat.

Rotating traversable wormholes [PDF]

, 1998
The general form of a stationary, axially symmetric traversable wormhole is discussed. This provides an explicit class of rotating wormholes that generalize the static, spherically symmetric ones first considered by Morris and Thorne.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Absorption of Scalars by Extended Objects [PDF]

, 1997
We derive the low energy absorption cross section of minimal scalars for a very generic class of geometries, that includes, among others, black holes, strings, $p$-branes, as well as intersecting brane configurations.

Structural Exploration of Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks Through Linker Desymmetrization and Modulator Compensation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A linker‐desymmetrization‐modulator‐compensation (LDMC) strategy for constructing structurally diverse Zr‐MOFs is reported. This approach reduces linker symmetry to create defects in Zr‐clusters, which can be compensated for by modulator coordination. Using this approach, we synthesized PCN‐1005 and PCN‐1006, featuring unprecedented Zr‐clusters. In PCN‐
