SUMMARY Scaffolded and Corrected Assembly of Roche 454 (SCARF) is a next-generation sequence assembly tool for evolutionary genomics that is designed especially for assembling 454 EST sequences against high-quality reference sequences from related species. The program was created to knit together 454 contigs that do not assemble during traditional de novo assembly, using a reference sequence li...

We prove non-emptiness of the α-core for balanced games with non-ordered preferences, extending and generalizing in several aspects the results of Scarf (1971), Border (1984), Florenzano (1989), Yannelis (1991b) and Kajii (1992). In particular we answer an open question in Kajii (1992) regarding the applicability of the non-emptiness results to models with infinite dimensional strategy spaces. ...

To see its theoretical interest, consider an unusual description of a familiar type of phenomenon. John sees Mary searching for something in her living room. He surmises she has misplaced her scarf.

Femoral osteotomy is performed for osteonecrosis of the femoral head to prevent progression collapse and promote repair process by transposing necrotic lesion nonweight-bearing portion. The purpose this review article was summarize current knowledge on two types osteotomy: transtrochanteric anterior or posterior rotational curved varus osteotomy, both which are currently osteonecrosis, mainly i...

Neurodevelopmental assessment in the first year of life is important for determining presence or absence of brain damage. Assessment of passive tone is essential for planning interventional therapy. One hundred infants with a normal antenatal, natal and perinatal course were prospectively followed up for one year. Social smile had appeared by 6 weeks in all infants, transfer of objects at 6 mon...
