Detection of genetic alterations could provide a tool as an adjuvant for the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to define patients at risk for early relapse. In this study, a multi-target fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was conducted to investigate the correlation between the alterations of chromosomes, including 5p15.2, 6p11.1-q11, 7p12, and 8q24.12-q24.13 (LaV...

We present a Photon-Assisted Cascaded Electron Multipliers (PACEM) which has a potential for ion back-flow blocking in gaseous radiation detectors: the avalanche from a first multiplication stage propagates to the successive one via its photons, which in turn induce photoelectron emission from a photocathode deposited on the second multiplier stage; the multiplication process may further contin...

BACKGROUND The program has been organized at two levels: (1) institution and (2) voivodeship. Institutions have prepared programs adapted to their needs. Their actions were supported by voivod coordinators. The implementation of the first stage ofthe program has been evaluated.

The effects of four levels of crude protein (CP) and stage of gestation on the growth, reproductive performance and N balance of 64 crossbred gilts were examined in two trials. Gilts were fed 147, 256, 309 or 369 g of CP daily in trial 1 and 119 ,227 ,275 or 326 g/d in trial 2. Total body weight gain and average daily gain (ADG) were not significantly affected by protein intake, although the qu...
