E nergy is one of the main and essential factors in economic growth. Electricity as one of the most important resources of energy supply for economic sectors on one hand, and as an index of welfare, on the other hand, is one of the economic development benchmarks. The growth of GDP will increase the demand for energy resources, including electricity. Hence, policymakers should pay at...

V an der Woude syndrome (VWS, OMIM #119300) is a dominantly inherited developmental disorder characterised by pits and/or sinuses of the lower lip, cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P), isolated cleft palate (CP), bifid uvula (BU), and hypodontia (H). Cleft lip deformity is established during the first 6 weeks of life due to failure of fusion of maxillary and medial nasal processes or ...

Objec ve: This present study is aimed to inves gate the associa on between interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6), single nucleo de polymorphisms (SNPs), and nonsyndromic cle lip without without cle palate (NSCLP) in the South Indian popula on. Subject and Methods: For this study, 190 unrelated NSCLP pa ents and 189 controls with‐ out cle s were genotyped with rs2235371 (V274...

O ral clefts are the most common congenital malformations worldwide. Cleft palate can be non-syndromic (MIM 119540) or it can appear as a part of a syndrome or recurrence pattern. Non-syndromic cleft palate and non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) are considered to be separate entities, on the basis of different embryonic timing and epidemiology. However, in some syndrome...

A dilute system of CdS,Sel-, nanocrystals with low anisotropy and low size dispersion has been studied by SAXS. The presence of angularities at the surface of the nanoparticles is evidenced from the limit at zero of the chord distribution function. Moreover in a model of spherical particles the size given by the average chord does not agree with that given by the integral parameters. A cubic pa...
