Background I'Tc-Q12 is a new Tc(III) perfusion imaging agent that permits prompt myocardial visualization in humans. We postulated that 9'Tc-Q12 myocardial activity is related to actual myocardial blood flow during conditions of myocardial ischemia and pharmacological coronary artery vasodilation and that 99'Tc-Q12 shows little or no myocardial redistribution as long as 4 hours after intravenou...

The ETV6 gene (first identified as TEL) is a frequent target of chromosomal translocations in both myeloid and lymphoid leukemias. At present, more than 40 distinct translocations have been cytogenetically described, of which 13 have now also been characterized at the molecular level. These studies revealed the generation of in-frame fusion genes between different domains of ETV6 and partner ge...

abstract research and development (r&d;) spending plays a major role in innovation, raising productivity and increasing economic growth. the purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of r&d; spending on growth and total factor productivity (tfp) in iran's agricultural sector. we estimate growth and productivity models using auto-regressive distributed lag (ardl) approach and data over ...

India is a country where agriculture is the backbone of economy. It is need of hour to estimate agricultural production based upon its sown area, which deems to be not achievable manually every year. The underlying reason behind is the existing facilities and mechanism is inadequate to achieve the same. However, with the advent of state of the art technologies in Remote Sensing and GIS, it is q...

The ASTER sensor onboard NASA’s Earth observing satellite Terra is an optical remote sensor comprised of 14 spectral bands ranging from the visible to thermal infrared region. With its multispectral bands the sensor bears the potential to provide data for both a detailed land use classification of heterogeneously vegetated areas. This study evaluates the potential of ASTER data for land use cla...

The objective of this research is to evaluate multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 polarimetric SAR data for urban land-cover classification using a novel classification scheme. Six-date RADARSAT-2 Polarimetric SAR data in both ascending and descending orbits were acquired during June to September 2008 in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area. The major land-cover types are builtup areas, roa...
