Model organisms offer many advantages for the genetic analysis of complex traits. However, identification of specific genes is often hampered by a lack of recombination between the genomes of inbred progenitors. Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in humans have offered gene-level mapping resolution that is possible because of the large number of accumulated recombinations among un...

Yersinia enterocolitica is a food-borne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis with occasional postinfection sequels. This study was aimed to determinate the pathogenic potential, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genomic relationships of Y. enterocolitica strains of different bioserotypes (B/O) isolated from foods and human samples in San Luis, Argentina. Strains obtained by culture were biosero...

Native Sathiya. The operation for the removal of the defect of vision depending on cataract, as practised by this class, is somewhat similar to the, old operation of " couching"?ail operation which, till a recent date, held its own place in opposition to other modes of treatment, in the hands of the surgeons of more civilised countries. But the instruments employed by them are certainly most pr...

A new method of computing all optimal certain rules from an incomplete information system is presented and proved. The method does not require changing the size of the original incomplete system. Additionally. several existing rough set methods of computing decision rules from incomplete information systems are analyzed and compared. We show which of these methods are capable of generating ail ...

In this chapter we propose an oligopoly mode] where firms invest in cost zeducing R&D for producing homogeneous goods that are sold in a market. In particular, we assume that R&D efforts build up a "stock of lmowledge", which, in tura, redúces margina] costs of production. Moreover, though ail firms are competitors in the marketplace, they can decide to collaborate through cooperation agreement...
