Denoising serves as a critical preprocessing step for the subsequent analysis of the hyperspectral image (HSI).Due to their high computational efficiency, low-rank-based denoising methods that project the noisy HSI into a low-dimensional subspace identified by certain Benches criteria have gained widespread use.However, methods employing second-ord
Some reports have described the interference of Leishmania on sand flies physiology, and such behavior most likely evolved to favor the development and transmission of the parasite.Most of these studies showed that Leishmania could modulate the level of proteases in the midgut after an infective blood meal, and decreased proteolytic activity is ind
