background:non-melanoma skin cancer (nmsc), the most prevalent types being squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), is the most common type of malignancy in human beings. these neoplasms are more frequent in the elderly and fair skinned people and mainly occur on sun-exposed sites of the body. ultraviolet b (uvb) has a well-known effect in induction and promotion of growth ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system (cns), characterised by a cellular immune response in early stages and demyelination of the cns later. although the cause of ms is unknown, there is much evidence that points to ms as an autoimmune disease. to test the hypotheses that an autoantigen is involved in ms, we screened a ?gt11 human foetal spinal ...

Abstract The chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus is a major insect pest affecting trees worldwide. Medium and long-term control of this can be improved by using resistant or less susceptible cultivars hybrid clones. In addition, little known about the local patterns dispersal pest. We obtained data from 3 species 27 clones in field trial NW Spain with aim evaluating susceptibility material...

Identification of kinship in various coffees the Indonesian Industrial & Beverages Crops Research Institute (IIBCRI) is essential for coffee breeding process future. The analysis can be done by using multivariate analysis. This study aimed to identify pattern and specific morphological characteristics clone collections experiment was carried out through observational method corrected with covar...

This article discusses clones with nullary operations and the corresponding relational clones, both defined on arbitrary sets. By means of two pairs of kernel and closure operators, the relationship between such clones and clones in the traditional sense, i.e. without nullary operations, is investigated, and in particular the latter type of clones is located in the lattice of all clones. Finall...

Exchanging mutable data objects with untrusted code is a delicate matter because of the risk of creating a data space that is accessible by an attacker. Consequently, secure programming guidelines for Java stress the importance of using defensive copying before accepting or handing out references to an internal mutable object. However, implementation of a copy method (like clone()) is entirely ...

We show that (consistently) there is a clone C on a countable set such that the interval of clones above C is linearly ordered and has no coatoms.

We investigate interpolation and extrapolation properties of composition-closed sets of partial operations defined on an infinite set E. Considering local completeness (interpolation property) the structure of a maximal local partial clone is described via its intersections with the full partial clones on every finite k-element (k 2) subset of E. The criteria are established which characterize ...
