Enhanced RGB-Based Basis Pursuit Sparsity Averaging Using Variable Density Sampling for Compressive Sensing of Eye Images

Compressive sensing (CS) plays a critical role in sampling, transmitting, and storing the color medical image, i.e., magnetic resonance imaging, colonoscopy, wireless capsule endoscopy, and eye images.Although CS for medical images has been extensively investigated, a challenge remains in the reconstruction time of the CS.This paper considers a rec

High-Throughput 16S rRNA Sequencing to Assess Potentially Active Bacteria and Foodborne Pathogens: A Case Example in Ready-to-Eat Food

Technologies to detect the entire bacterial diversity spectra and foodborne pathogens in food represent a fundamental advantage in the control of foodborne illness.Here, we applied high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing of amplicons obtained by PCR and RT-PCR from extracted DNA and RNA targeting the entire bacterial community and the active bacterial
