We introduce an analysis of the experience curly birch introductions accumulated in Russia and abroad, from which main means methods evaluating introduction prospects were derived. It follows this that most important commonly used approaches criteria are: comparison edaphic climatic conditions prospective site location source material is taken (climate analogues method), assessment origin biolo...

Outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections associated with lettuce and other leaf crops have occurred with increasing frequency in recent years. Contaminated manure and polluted irrigation water are probable vehicles for the pathogen in many outbreaks. In this study, the occurrence and persistence of E. coli O157:H7 in soil fertilized with contaminated poultry or bovine ...

We describe a patient with the unusual association of cleft palate, bilateral choanal atresia, curly hair, and congenital hypothyroidism. This association has been reported before in two brothers and may represent a new syndrome.

While straightening or curling hair with styling tools, enough heat must be provided to temporarily break the chemical bonds that give the hair its natural texture and shape. However, when excess heat is provided, the chemical bonds are permanently damaged and the hair loses its natural shape. This is a problem for many women, and it is often referred to as heat damage. Although others have con...

Because clinical databases vary in structure, access methods and vocabulary used to represent data, the Arden Syntax does not define a standard model for querying databases. Consequently, database queries are encoded in ad hoc ways and enclosed in "curly braces" in Medical Logic Modules (MLMs). However, the nonstandard representation of queries impairs sharing of MLMs, an impediment that has co...

The mouse mutant curly tail (ct) provides a model system for studies of neurulation mechanisms. 60% of ct/ct embryos develop spinal neural tube defects (NTD) as a result of delayed neurulation at the posterior neuropore whereas the remaining 40% of embryos develop normally. In order to investigate the role of cell proliferation during mouse neurulation, cell cycle parameters were studied in cur...
