BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of patients with myocardial infarction are primarily determined by the successful restoration of myocardial reperfusion and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. AIM To investigate the predictive value of Gensini score on ST-segment resolution (STR) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for acute ST-elevation myocardial infar...

BACKGROUND Fibrinogen is a coagulation/inflammatory biomarker strongly associated with atherogenesis. However, no data is currently available regarding the association of fibrinogen level with the presence and severity of new-onset coronary atherosclerosis assessed by Gensini score (GS), particularly in Han Chinese with a large sample size. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 2288 consecutive, new...

The genome sequence of apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) was published more than a year ago, which helped develop an 8K SNP chip to assist in implementing genomic selection (GS). In apple breeding programmes, GS can be used to obtain genomic breeding values (GEBV) for choosing next-generation parents or selections for further testing as potential commercial cultivars at a very early stage. Thus GS...

Let R = K[y] = K[y1, . . . , yn] be a polynomial ring over an arbitrary field K and let F be a finite set {f1/g1, . . . , fs/gs} of rational functions in K(y), the quotient field of R, where fi (resp. gi) is in R (resp. R \ {0}) for all i. As usual we denote the affine and projective spaces over the field K by As and Ps−1, respectively. Points of the projective space Ps−1 are denoted by [α], wh...

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is a major weed in United States cotton and soybean production systems. Originally native to the Southwest, the species has spread throughout the country. In 2004 a population of A. palmeri was identified with resistance to glyphosate, a herbicide heavily relied on in modern no-tillage and transgenic glyphosate-resistant (GR) crop systems. This project aims ...

Between 1998 and 2011, the Venezuelan arachnologist Manuel Ángel González-Sponga (GS) published a series of taxonomic papers devoted to the Pholcidae of Venezuela. Of his 22 new genera, 20 were monotypic when described, suggesting a high percentage of synonyms. We studied his descriptions and as far as accessible his type specimens and propose the following new generic synonymies: Autana GS, 20...

Messenger RNA levels for the alpha subunit of G-proteins expressed in adipocytes of lean and obese (ob/ob) mice were compared with relative levels of the encoded proteins. Using both toxin labeling and Western blots, expression of Gs alpha, Gi alpha-1, and Gi alpha-3 was decreased by approximately 2-fold in adipocytes of obese mice, while levels of Gi alpha-2 did not differ between the phenotyp...

Background: One of the main reasons of environmental contaminations is the broad application of herbicides. Controlled release technologies such as encapsulation of herbicides are as an effective tool to reduce environmental contaminations. The aim of the present study was successful nanocapsulation of Gallant Super (GS), its characterization and compare the physiological responses of Spirodela...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP-GS) were synthesised from the precursor zinc acetate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂) through the green route using the milky latex from milk weed (Calotropis gigantea L. R. Br) by alkaline precipitation. Formation of the ZnONP-GS was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy followed by characterization and confirmation by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electr...

Let K be a basic closed semialgebraic set in R defined by polynomial inequalities g1 ≥ 0, . . . , gs ≥ 0, where g1, . . . , gs ∈ R[x1, . . . , xn], and let f ∈ R[x1, . . . , xn]. In [12], Schmüdgen proves that, if K is compact and f is strictly positive on K, then f belongs to the quadratic preordering generated by g1, . . . , gs. Denote by M the (smaller) quadratic module generated by g1, . . ...
