MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small endogenous RNA molecules, which regulate target gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Besides, miRNA activity can be controlled by a newly discovered regulatory mechanism called endogenous target mimicry (eTM). In target mimicry, eTMs bind to the corresponding miRNAs to block the binding of specific transcript leading to increase mRNA expression. Thus, miRNA...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of using Landsat ETM+ data for the determination of leaf area index (LAI). The investigation is prompted by the need for obtaining spatially distributed data on LAI to be used as input for carbon modelling of northern boreal forests. Detailed field data have been collected in a coniferous forest area in Uppland, central Sweden, dominated b...

Many land-management agencies are caught between decreased budgets and increasing public interest. Furthermore, semi-arid landscapes are sensitive to management prescriptions and use, and require a significant amount of monitoring in order to assess vegetation productivity and health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) Imagery to monitor ...

We evaluated the influence of measurement site on the ranking (low to high) of abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue. We also determined the influence of measurement site on the prediction of abdominal SAT and VAT mass. The subjects included 100 men with computed tomography (CT) measurements at L4-L5 and L3-L4 levels and 100 men with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mea...

Satisfiability procedures have shown significant promise for symbolic simulation of large circuits, hence they have been used in many formal verification techniques, including automated abstraction refinement, ATPG etc. We show how to use modern SAT solvers like Chaff and GRASP to compute images of sets of states and how to efficiently detect fixed point of the sets of states during reachabilit...

* Corresponding author and present address: Bangladesh Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization (SPARRSO), Agargaon, Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh Abstract – Recent global climate change is the consequence of many human activities; deforestation in the tropics is one of them. The research estimated the amount of carbon flux due to forest cover change by combining satellite i...

Multispectral image reconstruction allows to combine a multispectral low resolution image with a panchromatic high resolution one to obtain a new multispectral image with the spectral properties of the lower resolution image and the level of detail of the higher resolution one. In this paper we formulate the problem of multispectral image reconstruction based on super-resolution techniques and ...

different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the khaf – dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of iran. kuh-e-zar is one of these ore deposits known as fe- oxide gold deposit. the main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the etm+ data. data processing has been done by envi (environment for visualizing...

In this study we investigated the structure-activity relationships by using the Electron- Topological Method (ETM) for a class of AChE inhibitors related to tacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine) and 11 H-Indeno-[1,2-b]-quinolin-10-ylamine that tetracyclic tacrine analogues, a drug currently in use for the treatment of the AD. Molecular fragments being specific for active and inactive com...
