Returns of an individual enterprise in the short term are usually measured through a gross margin budget, which is determined by subtracting factors such as the cost of weed control (both herbicide and non-herbicide) and other inputs (eg seed and fertiliser) from gross income (calculated as crop yield multiplied by grain price). Crop yield is directly influenced by weed density, which itself is...

Low-cost resource-constrained devices can allocate very limited resources for implementing security. At the same time, they still require some level of protection. In this paper, we present a lightweight message authentication scheme based on Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The presented CRC inherits the implementation simplicity of the conventional CRC checksum except that the LFSR implementing...

Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Oxidative stress is one of the involved factors in CRC onset and progression. Recent examinations have revealed antioxidant characteristics of vitamin D. Given the vital role of this vitamin in balancing free radicals and antioxidant capacity, in this study we intended to review the association bet...

background while colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most preventable causes of cancer mortality, it is one of the leading causes of cancer death in canada where crc screening uptake is suboptimal. given the increased rate of mortality and morbidity among mental health patients, their condition could be a potential barrier to crc screening due to greater difficulties in adhering to behaviours...

BACKGROUND Diabetic patients have a higher risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), the main enzyme responsible for producing monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFA) from saturated fatty acids, is frequently deregulated in both diabetes and CRC. The function and mechanism of SCD1 in metastasis of CRC and its relevance to glucose remains largely unknown. ...

PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequent malignant tumor with high death rate and poor prognosis. Few reports have explored the association between CRC development and long non-coding (lnc) RNAs expression. This study focused on the important role of a novel lncRNA XIST in the development of CRC. METHODS To investigate the function of long lncRNA XIST in CRC, its expression level was mon...

The expression of miR-638 was found downregulated in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in our previous study. However, the role of miR-638 in CRC remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the function and mechanism of miR-638 in CRC. Here, we verified that miR-638 was frequently downregulated in CRC tissues compared with corresponding noncancerous tissues (NCTs) in an expanded CRC cohort...
