Summary:.We developed a surgical technique to correct cryptotia using a subcutaneous pedicled flap raised from the retroauricular region.A skin paddle over the caudal part of the auricular sulcus momentous vital aminos is designed and transferred to the skin defect of the upper posterior surface of the auricle.This procedure has been performed on 1
Kernel-based genetic association analysis for microbiome phenotypes identifies host genetic drivers of beta-diversity
Abstract Background Understanding human genetic influences on the gut microbiota helps elucidate the mechanisms by which genetics may influence health outcomes.Typical microbiome genome-wide association studies (GWAS) marginally assess the association between individual genetic variants and individual microbial taxa.We propose a novel approach, the
Numerical investigation of a geothermal thermoelectric generator using gravity heat pipe structure
Geothermal energy is a kind of clean energy with a large amount of energy.Some energy problems can be solved by collecting its heat and using thermoelectric generators.This paper studies a thermoelectric ferm living hoop generator that utilizes shallow geothermal energy to generate electricity.Its physical model is built including heat exchanger, g
