ABSTRACT Candida albicans colonizes human mucosa, including the gastrointestinal tract, as a commensal.In immunocompromised patients, C.albicans can breach the intestinal epithelial barrier and cause fatal invasive infections.Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1; CD66a), CEACAM5 (CEA), and CEACAM6 (CD66c) are immunomod
In the production of cold-rolled strip, the strip surface may suffer from various defects which need to be detected and identified using an online inspection system.The system is equipped with high-speed and high-resolution cameras to acquire images from the moving strip surface.Features are then extracted from the images and are used as inputs of
