Modeling Factors Associated With Diarrhea Caused by Cryptosporidium Species Using Machine Learning Methods

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study applies machine learning methods, specifically Random Forest and Bagged CART, to classify Cryptosporidium spp. infections among children and identify key risk factors. The Bagged CART model demonstrated superior sensitivity and predictive performance, highlighting household crowding and water source as the most influential determinants of ...

On the occurrence of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types at Mabura Hill, Guyana [PDF]

, 1990
A floristic and ecological study of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types around Mabura Hill, Guyana, South America, yielded 170 species: 52 mosses, 82 liverworts and 36 macrolichens. Lejeuneaceae account for about 30% of the

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Manual of tropical bryology [PDF]

, 2003
Bryophytes belong to the oldest land plants. They existed already in the Palaeozoic 300 mio years ago in forms which were hardly different from the extant species. They remained relatively unchanged with relatively low evolution rates (and are thus often

A review of the postharvest biochemical, biophysical and biological properties of 61 cultivars of North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Fruit from the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is unfamiliar to many as a food crop and botanically unusual because it is the northernmost genus and only temperate member of the tropical Annonaceae family. It is the largest edible fruit native to North America.

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.

Taxonomic results of the Bryotrop expedition to Zaire and Rwanda : 23., Neckeraceae, Pterobryaceae, Hypopterygiaceae [PDF]

, 1993
Neckera submacrocarpa may be recognized by the numerous paraphyllia to ca. 2 mm long, and distally rugose perichaetial leaves. According to De Sloover (1977), it occurs in montane forests and Senecio heaths between 2 400 and 3 650 m. The present material
