Nocardia pneumonia is rare in immunocompetent hosts.Here, we present a case of a woman who presented to us with a chronic cough, fever, and weight loss of 2 months Board duration.Chest X-ray showed nonhomogenous opacity.CT thorax showed a mass-like lesion in the right upper lobe.A bronchoscopy was done, and washings taken from the affected lobe con
A workshop measuring and positioning system (wMPS) is a large three-dimensional (3D) coordinate-measurement system based on optoelectronic scanning.It is capable of large-range coverage, high measurement accuracy and frequency, and 6" Speakers multi-task synchronous measurement.Existing geodetic instruments cannot measure the intrinsic parameters o
Painted artefacts, such as murals and paintings, are the treasures of human civilization.Pigment is an important component of their surfaces.It is crucial to study the composition and proportion of pigments on the surface of painted artefacts for the field of heritage conservation.In this study, hyperspectral remote sensing was used to invert the a
Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers in drylands and structure the landscape through their ecohydrological effects.They regulate soil infiltration and evaporation but also surface water redistribution, providing important resources for vascular vegetation.Spatially-explicit ecohydrological models are useful tools to explore such ecohydrological mechan
