Editorial: The Evolving Telomeres

The Evolving Telomeres The study of the evolution of the end of chromosomes, or telomeres, has moved from the abstract to molecular observations and mechanistic possibilities. Although successful end-replication and end-protection are the primary driving forces acting at all telomeres (de Lange, 2009), the studies presented in this issue reveal apparent similarities, surprising differences, and...

Editorial In Vivo Assessment of the Risk Profile of Evolving Individual Coronary Plaques A Step Closer

The natural history of coronary plaques within an individual patient with coronary disease is highly heterogeneous. Over time, each plaque may exhibit a different temporal pattern of progression, quiescence, or regression, as well as a variable rate of change. The trajectory of the natural history of a particular plaque depends on the level of systemic risk factors and patient-specific genetics...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Histological assessment of liver siderosis.

2.1 Evolving methods of assessment.

This Working Section is concerned with evolving methods of assessment in dental education. It focuses on newer methods of assessment that might have relevance for broader application. Although it cannot provide answers to all the questions it raises, it is hoped that the contribution it makes is of value in the process of the development of a global network in dental education.
