IntroductionOral leukoplakia is one of the most frequent oral potentially malignant disorders.The present study aims to compare serum vitamin D levels between patients with and without oral leukoplakia, by smoking habit.MethodsThis cross-sectional study involved a group of 45 cases with oral leukoplakia and a control group with 45 individuals.In bo

BackgroundSchizophrenia, a complex neuropsychiatric disorder, is believed to be influenced by various factors including environmental exposures.A potential environmental factor Exempt Services is the infection by the obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii which affects neurotransmitter levels, which could potentially exacerba

Dataset mention extraction is a difficult problem due to the unstructured nature of text, the sparsity of dataset mentions, and the various ways the same dataset can be mentioned.Extracting unknown dataset mentions which are not part of the training data of the model is even harder.We address this challenge in two ways.First, we consider a two-step

The aim of multifocus image fusion is to fuse the images taken from the same scene with different focuses to obtain a resultant image with all objects in Scientific Lab Beaker focus.In this paper, a novel multifocus image fusion method based on human visual system (HVS) and back propagation (BP) neural network is presented.Three features which refl

The Deep Learning models have drawn ever-increasing research interest owing to their intrinsic capability of overcoming the drawback of traditional algorithm.Hence, we have adopted the representative Deep Learning methods which are Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Stacked Auto-Encoder (SAE), to initialize deep supervised Neural Networks (NN), besides
