This paper describes the development of a high density consensus genetic linkage map of a turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) family composed of 149 mapping individuals using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) developed using the restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing technique with the restriction enzyme, PstI. A total of 6,647 SNPs were assigned to 22 linkage groups, which is equal ...

BACKGROUND Access blood flow (Qac) is considered a useful indicator in the surveillance of haemodialysis access function. However, changes in Qac may be due to changes in blood pressure and/or to changes in access resistance (AR). METHODS Weekly readings of Qac, cardiac output, and arterial blood pressure measured early and late during haemodialysis were obtained in 11 patients for a period o...

Background: The severe cardiovascular response following tracheal intubation has threatened geriatrics’ safety. HbA1c may be an independent risk predictor for the outcome of cardiovascular disease and/or DM. We investigated the relationship between preoperative HbA1c levels and changes of hemodynamic and blood glucose (Glu) during tracheal intubation in geriatrics. Methods: 112 geriatric non-ca...

Individual subunits of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), protein phosphatase 4, and protein phosphatase 5 were knocked out in Drosophila Schneider 2 cells by using RNA interference. Ablation of either the scaffold (A) or catalytic (C) subunits of PP2A caused the disappearance of all PP2A subunits. Treating cells with double-stranded RNA targeting all four of the Drosophila PP2A regulatory subunits...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...

representative of such regions have been created before u is applied. According to the arrangement of entities in form of forests described in Section 5, the most abstract representatives of the regions must have been created in an update of type either point-to-region or line-to-region. This situation corresponds to the example shown in Fig. 8, where in (b) we show a subsequence of sequence in...

Modeling and mapping of soil properties has been identified as key for effective land degradation management and mitigation. The ability to model and map soil properties at sufficient accuracy for a large agriculture area is demonstrated using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) imagery. Soil samples were collected in the El-Tina Plain, Sinai, Egypt, concurren...
