The cingulum bundle (CB) is a critical white matter fiber tract in the brain, which forms connections between the frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe. In non-human primates, the CB is actually divided into distinct subcomponents on the basis of corticocortical connections. However, at present, no study has verified similar distinct subdivisions in the human brain. In this study, we re...

Aim of study: The productivity poplar plantations in Mediterranean climates might be reduced due to lower precipitations a climate change scenario. Therefore, understanding the water consumption these is essential for their management. objective this study was estimate and preliminary crop coefficients (kc) two universally used clones (Populus x Canadensis ‘I-214’ ‘I-488’).Area Central Chile (3...

We present an algorithm GRAND for generating normally distributed pseudo-random numbers, assuming the existence of a source of uniform random numbers. The method is exact, apart from the effect of rounding errors. The idea of using a rejection technique to avoid any elementary function evaluations is due to Von Neumann [4] and Forsythe [3], but our implementation requires less uniform samples p...

The auditory fields in the cortex of the guinea pig were investigated with microelectrode mapping techniques. Pure tones of varying frequencies and amplitudes were used as acoustic stimuli. Mainly, multiunit activity was recorded. A large tonotopic area is found in the anterior half of the auditory cortex. This area is named the anterior field (field A). Frequency tuning curves of multiunits in...

Aim: Superparamagnetic cubic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized and functionalized with meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) as a potential agent for cancer treatment. Methods: Monodisperse IONPs high value of saturation magnetization by thermal decomposition method DMSA via ligand exchange reaction, their cytotoxic effects on HeLa cells investigated. Results: an edge length 2...

This study delineated the incidence of metastatic involvement of neural stem cell (NSC) regions and further aimed to explore the feasibility of selectively sparing the NSC compartments during whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). A total of 2270 intracranial metastases in 488 patients were identified. Lesions were classified according to locations, includin...

Plant homeo domain finger protein 8 (PHF8), as an oncogene, has been highlighted in cancer development and progression. However, its clinical significance and underlying molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the role of PHF8 in the progression of CRC was investigated. The mRNA and protein levels of PHF8 in tissues from patients with...
