Early detection is the key to improve breast cancer prognosis. The only proven effective method of breast cancer early detection is mammography. An early sign of 30-50% of breast cancer is the appearance of clusters of fine, granular microcalcifications and 60-80% of breast carcinomas reveal microcalcification clusters upon histological examination. The high correlation between the appearance o...

While the machinery of quantitative genetics can blissfully function in complete ignorance of any of the underlying genetic details, we are certainly interested (at least one some level) in the genetic basis of trait variation. At the most practical level, if a gene of major effect is segregating in our population of interest, we would certainly like to be aware of this, as well as being able f...

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was discovered in 1981 as an infectious disease of homosexual men transmitted by sexual intercourse. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was soon discovered and shown to be the causative agent, and additional risk groups and modes of infection were identified. The virus could also be transmitted by blood transfusions and contaminated needles. HIV in...

The efficacy of iron(II) sulfide (FeS)-based autotrophic denitrification in simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater was studied with batch experiments. It was efficient at a wide pH range of 5-9, and temperature range of 10-40 °C. The concentrations of NH₄⁺-N, Mg²⁺ and HCO₃⁻ in the wastewater should be kept over 7.8, 0.24 and 30 mg L⁻¹ for efficient nitrate (NO₃⁻-N) reducti...
