BACKGROUND A previous survey on allergens used by Mexican allergists in their skin prick test (SPT) panel showed wide variation. Humidity varies in different zones of Mexico. This might lead to differences in natural exposure and allergic sensitisation throughout the country. We aim to describe the SPT sensitivity patterns in the different climatic zones in Mexico and to show the usefulness of ...

The distribution and quantification of tetracycline, sulfonamide and beta-lactam resistance genes were assessed in slaughterhouse zones throughout meat chain production and the meat products; this study represents the first to report quantitatively monitor antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in goat and lamb slaughterhouse using a culture independent approach, since most studies focused on indivi...

in this paper, an interval approach is presented to achieve perfect selectivity and maximum sensitivity in distance relay zones, considering uncertainties. for this purpose, first, the uncertainties affecting the settings of the three zones of a distance relay are discussed. then, by using the monte-carlo simulation, the uncertainties are modelled and the impedances seen by the distance relay a...

The aim of this study is determination and separation of alteration zones using Concentration-Area (C-A) fractal model based on remote sensing data which has been extracted from Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images. The studied area is on the SW part of Saveh, 1:250,000 geological map, which is located in Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt, Central Iran. The ...

Histopathologic-electrographic studies of ventriculography depicted nitroglycerin responsive and unresponsive asynergic areas were performed in 25 patients. Of 29 areas, 12 improved with nitroglycerin, showing < 10% muscle loss. Seventeen unimproved zones demonstrated significant fibrosis. Epicardial electrograms showed R waves in eight of nine improved zones. Of 11 unimproved zones, eight had ...

Agro-ecological zoning for the entire state of Punjab was carried out using modern tools such as remote sensing and geographical information system. The main input parameters based on which zoning was done were annual average temperature, length of growing period (LGP), biomass and soil texture. Initially, spatial database for temperature, LGP, biomass and soil texture were generated in GIS dom...

Topographically expressed zones of flow accumulation often coincide with fault intersections because of increased rock fracturing. We have conducted a study of the interrelationships between topographically expressed accumulation zones and fault intersections, and the function of these sites in landscape evolution. The investigation has been performed with the use of digital terrain models, geo...

The cerebellum is organized into parasagittal zones that control sensory-motor behavior. Although the architecture of adult zones is well understood, very little is known about how zones emerge during development. Understanding the process of zone formation is an essential step toward unraveling how circuits are constructed to support specific behaviors. Therefore, we focused this study on post...
