We discuss some general properties of the Landau kinetic equation. In particular, the difference between the ”true” Landau equation, which formally follows from classical mechanics, and the ”generalized” Landau equation, which is just an interesting mathematical object, is stressed. We show how to approximate solutions to the Landau equation by the Wild sums. It is the so-called quasi-Maxwellia...

A case-control study of the association of miR-499A>G rs3746444 with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)was conducted. Patients with HCC and healthy control subjects were recruited for genotyping of miR- 499A>G using duplex polymerase-chain-reaction with confronting-two-pair primer(PCR-RFLP) analysis. The MiR-499 GG genotype was associated with a decreased risk of HCC as compared with the mi...

During Leg 59 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, five sites (447 to 451) were occupied and seven holes drilled between Okinawa and Guam in the Philippine Sea (Fig. 1). All holes except Hole 447 yielded common calcareous nannoplankton at certain intervals cored. Nannoplankton assemblages and their age assignments will be discussed for each site, and fossil lists for selected samples from Holes 44...
