This study compared gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE) and light-scattering (LS) methods of determining low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size. LDL was isolated from 27 fasting subjects. Peak particle size was determined by GGE on 3-13% gradient gels (Gradipore, Sydney, Australia) and by LS using a Zetasizer 3000 (Malvern Instruments, Malvern, UK). Repeated measurements on a single specime...

SDS is mostly used to enhance the solubilization and extraction of membrane proteins due to its strong detergency and low cost. Nevertheless, SDS interferes with the subsequent procedures and needs to be removed from the samples. In this work, a special gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE) system was developed to remove SDS from the SDS-solubilized protein samples. As a proof-of-principle experim...

The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and the genotype main effects and genotype x environment interaction (GGE) models stand out among the linear-bilinear models used in genotype x environment interaction studies. Despite the advantages of their use to describe genotype x environment (AMMI) or genotype and genotype x environment (GGE) interactions, these methods have ...

BACKGROUND To establish a generalized equivalent uniform dose (gEUD) -based prescription method for Image Guided Brachytherapy (IGBT) that reproduces the Gyn GEC-ESTRO WG (GGE) prescription for cervix carcinoma patients on CT images with limited soft tissue resolution. METHODS The equivalence of two IGBT planning approaches was investigated in 20 patients who received external beam radiothera...

Thirty six wheat genotypes derived from diallel crosses from F1 to F3 and their parents were evaluated in six different environments for the stability of performance. Performance was measured by seed yield per plant under drought and non-drought stress conditions. The experiment was conducted as a randomised complete block design with three replications in over one year. Additive main effects a...

We describe the preliminary version of our investigative software, GGE { Generative Genetic Explorer , in which genetic operations interact with Au-toCAD to generate novel 3D forms for the architect. GGE allows us to asess how evolutionary algorithms should be tailored to suit Architecture CAD tasks.
