It has been posited that the longest uninterrupted stretch (LUS) of tandem repeats, as defined by the number of exactly matching repeating motif units, is a better predictor of rates of stutter than the parental allele length (PAL). While there are cases where this hypothesis is likely correct, such as the 9.3 allele in the TH01 locus, there can be situations where it may not apply as well. For...

Objectives; In this study we compared transabdominal ultrasound to transvaginal determine which one of them is most accurate in measuring the LUS. Methods; a prospective observational on 100 pregnant at term women with history previous CS visited Maternity Teaching Hospital between period Jan 2020 Sep 2020. Results; total ( age range 20-42 years), more than half were primiparous and majority no...

Lung collapse is a known complication that affects most of the patients undergoing positive pressure mechanical ventilation. Such atelectasis and airways closure lead to gas exchange and lung mechanics impairment and has the potential to develop an inflammatory response in the lungs. These negative effects of lung collapse can be reverted by a lung recruitment maneuver (RM) i.e. a ventilatory s...

In this work, the effect of immobilization of bread yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by sol-gel technique combined with functionalized nanoporous silica was investigated in different weight ratios of silica containing materials (TMOS: LUS-1). The activities of immobilized yeast in days after immobilization were examined. The results showed immobilization maintain the yeast life for a longer tim...

Mesoporous silica LUS-1 (Laval University Silica) was successfully functionalized by propyl sulfonic acid and was used as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of acridine-1,8-diones via a pseudo four component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and ammonium acetate (or anilines). The excellent yields, short reaction time, simple work-up procedure, and environmentally friendly condition...

BACKGROUND Studies aimed at investigating the influence of habitat change on species phenology. Studies that investigate people's perceptions of the phenology of certain species still area few; yet this approach is important for effective decision-making for conservation. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenology of Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae), a native species of econ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of nucleolar channel systems (NCSs) by uterine region, applying continuous quantification. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. SETTING Tertiary care academic medical center. PATIENT(S) Forty-two naturally cycling women who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications. INTERVENTION(S) NCS presence was quantified by a novel method in six uterine regio...

We show that an area preserving homeomorphism of the open annu lus which has at least one periodic point must in fact have in nitely many interior periodic points

Laparoscopic Ultrasound (LUS) is recommended as a standard-of-care when performing laparoscopic liver resections it images sub-surface structures such tumours and major vessels. Given that LUS probes are difficult to handle some iso-echoic, registration of pre-operative CT has been proposed an image-guidance method. This problem particularly challenging due the small field view LUS, usually dep...
