Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare variant of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) which originates from the skin adnexa, most probably eccrine and apocrine glands. This tumor has a head and neck predilection and also occurs in the chest, abdomen, back, and perineum. We hereby present a 63-year-old man with PCACC located on the shin. No previous similar case has been reporte...

hopA mutants, which have been suggested to be defective in mini-F plasmid partitioning (H. Niki, C. Ichinose, T. Ogura, H. Mori, M. Morita, M. Hasegawa, N. Kusukawa, and S. Hiraga, J. Bacteriol. 170:5272-5278, 1988), were found to carry mutations in the gyrB gene, coding for the B subunit of DNA gyrase. In gyrB(HopA) mutants, relaxation of the superhelicity of plasmids, increased IncG incompati...

In the Semantic Web information would be retrieved, processed, combined, shared and reused in the maximum automatic way possible. Obviously, such procedures involve a high degree of uncertainty and imprecision. For example ontology alignment or information retrieval are rarely true or false procedures but usually involve confidence degrees or provide rankings. Furthermore, it is often the case ...

This paper is an addendum to [4], in which the authors constructed a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with pg = 0 and K 2 = 3. Motivated by Y. Lee and the second author’s recent construction on a surface of general type with pg = 0, K 2 = 2 and H1 = Z/2Z [3], we extend the result to the K = 3 case in this paper. That is, we construct a new non-simply connected minimal su...

BACKGROUND Shin pain is a common complaint among running athletes and can be caused by bony, muscular, vascular or neural pathology. OBJECTIVE This article discusses the likely causes, assessment and management of shin pain in athletes presenting in the general practice setting. DISCUSSION Accurate diagnosis is important as treatment differs depending on the cause. The characteristics of th...

abstract more than %90 of natural silk in world is produced by means of mulberry silkworm (bombyx mori l.). therefore, it is important that we recognize and collect mulberry varieties which have high quantity and quality leaf performance. for this purpose, an experiment was conducted with five mulberry varieties (kenmochi, kairyonase, ichinose, shinichinose and local varieties) during two seaso...
