Previous studies have demonstrated both an elevated level of cellular myc-homologous RNA in HL-60 cultures and a decrease in this messenger RNA following the chemically induced differentiation of HL-60 cells. A nuclear transcription system isolated from HL-60 cells was used to investigate whether an alteration in the rate of transcription of the c-myc gene was associated with this decrease in m...

1. In an effort to develop quantitative relationships between various kinds of flow alteration and ecological responses, we reviewed 165 papers published over the last four decades, with a focus on more recent papers. Our aim was to determine if general relationships could be drawn from disparate case studies in the literature that might inform environmental flows science and management. 2. For...

The widespread deployment of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) in law enforcement and border control applications has heightened the need for ensuring that the security afforded by these systems is not compromised. While several issues related to fingerprint system security have been investigated in the past, including the use of fake fingerprints for masquerading identity, th...

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit is located in northwestern Iran and is associated with diorite/granodiorite to quartz-monzonite of Miocene age, which intruded Eocene volcanosedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Copper mineralization was accompanied by both potassic and phyllic alteration. Three main mineralization related alteration episodes (potassic, transition, and phyllic alteratio...

In this paper, we aim to present a quantitative modeling for delineating the alteration zones and lithological units in the hypogene zone of Masjed-Daghi Cu-Au porphyry deposit (NW Iran) based on the drill core data. The main goal of this work is to apply Ordinary Kriging (OK) and concentration-volume (C-V) fractal model based on Cu grades in order to separate the different alteration zones and...
