Schizophrenia is a common neuropsychiatric disorder with a lifetime risk of 1%. A number of large scale genome wide association studies have identified numerous individual risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) whose precise roles in schizophrenia remain unknown. Accumulation of many of these risk alleles has been found to be a more important risk factor. Consistently, recent studies showe...

Let G be a graph and p ∈ [1,∞]. The parameter fp(G) is the least integer k such that for all m and all vectors (rv)v∈V (G) ⊆ R , there exist vectors (qv)v∈V (G) ⊆ R k satisfying ‖rv − rw‖p = ‖qv − qw‖p, for all vw ∈ E(G). It is easy to check that fp(G) is always finite and that it is minor monotone. By the graph minor theorem of Robertson and Seymour [9], there are a finite number of excluded m...

Transfer of Lemna minor fronds to adverse or stress conditions produces a large increase in the rate of protein degradation. Cycloheximide partially inhibits stress-induced protein degradation and also partially inhibits the protein degradation which occurs in the absence of stress. The increased protein degradation does not appear to be due to an increase in activity of soluble proteolytic enz...

background; recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of using lemna minor for acid blue 292 (ab292) dye removal from aqueous solution and to determine the optimal conditions. methods; this experiment...

Introduction: Many pregnant women experience discomforts during their pregnancy that are not severe, but may reduce their well-being. These minor discomforts such as vomiting, heartburn, and leg cramps can be troublesome and may affect the women’s quality of life. Objective: This research aims to determine the relationship between socio-demographic variables and minor discomforts in pregnancy....
