We show the existence of spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models whose cosmic microwave background temperature is exactly isotropic at one instant of time but whose rate of expansion is highly anisotropic. The existence of these models shows that the observation of a highly isotropic cosmic microwave background temperature cannot alone be used to infer that the universe is clo...

Emergency general surgery (EGS) represents 11% of acute hospital admissions. Appendectomy is the most common among emergency abdominal surgeries. Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. The complications of MD are observed in 4-6% of cases. The purpose of the study was to identify the group of patients who underwent Meckel’s diverticu...

In many animal species, germ-line progenitors associate with gonadal somatic cells to form the embryonic gonads (EGs) that later develop into functional organ producing gametes. To explore the genetic regulation of the germ-line development, we initiated a comprehensive identification and functional analysis of the genes expressed within the EGs. First, we generated a cDNA library from gonads p...

Computational tools have enabled a relatively simple prediction of essential genes (EGs), which would otherwise be done by costly and tedious gene knockout experimental procedures. We present a machine learning based predictor using information-theoretic features derived exclusively from DNA sequences. We used entropy, mutual information, conditional mutual information, and Markov chain models ...

Impact of Rural Employment Guarantee Schemes on Seasonal Labor Markets: Optimum Compensation and Workers’ Welfare The recent enactment of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act in India has been widely hailed a policy that provides a safety net for the rural poor with the potential to boost rural income, stabilize agricultural production and reduce rural-urban migration. This paper, models...

The fetal liver kinase 1 (FLK-1)(+) hemangioblast can generate hematopoietic, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). ER71/ETV2, GATA2, and SCL form a core transcriptional network in hemangioblast development. Transient coexpression of these three factors during mesoderm formation stage in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) robustly enhanced hemangioblast generation by activating bone morph...

The Si(0001) face and C(000-1) face dependences on growth pressure of epitaxial graphene (EG) grown on 4H-SiC substrates by ethene chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and micro-Raman spectroscopy (μ-Raman). AFM revealed that EGs on Si-faced substrates had clear stepped morphologies due to surface step bunching. However, This EG formation did not occur...

Going deep is essential for deep learning. However it is not easy, there are many ways of going deep but most of them are ineffective. In this work, we propose two novel constrains in the design of deep structure to guarantee the performance gain when going deep. Firstly, for each convolutional layer, its capacity of learning more complex patterns should be guaranteed; Secondly, the receptive f...

Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis including pancreatitis. Symptomatic gall stones patients have up to 20% risk of having common bile duct (CBD) too. Although, guidelines been laid down management suspected CBD stones, in practice there a lot variability and lack standardisation. The waiting list Magnetic resonance chol...
