BACKGROUND Atopy is considered to be a complex genetic trait and does not follow a simple mendelian pattern of inheritance. It is now well recognised that gene-gene interactions are important in complex genetic disease. AIM To analyse the influence of gene-gene interactions in the development of atopy. METHODS A total of 2055 ethnically identical participants aged 10-18 years living in rura...

Objective: GenoType MTBDRplus line probe assay (LPA) is developed for performing drug susceptibility testing (DST) for Rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid in sputum specimens from smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients and revised national TB control Programme (RNTCP) has endorsed LPA for the diagnosis of multi drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). This study was conducted to assess the potential...

The planetary boundary framework constitutes an opportunity for decision makers to define climate policy through the lens of adaptive governance. Here, we use the DICE model to analyze the set of adaptive climate policies that comply with the two planetary boundaries related to climate change: (1) staying below a CO2 concentration of 550 ppm until 2100 and (2) returning to 350 ppm in 2100. Our ...

The relationship between certain types of highdimensional neural networks and low-dimensional prototypical equations (neuromodules) is investigated. The high-dimensional systems consist of finitely many pools containing identical, dissipative and nonlinear single-units operating in discrete time. Under the assumption of random connections inside and between pools, the system can be reduced to a...

Bee keeping is indispensable to global food production. It is an alternate income source, especially in rural underdeveloped African settlements, and an important forest conservation incentive. However, dwindling honeybee colonies around the world are attributed to pests and diseases whose spatial distribution and influences are not well established. In this study, we used remotely sensed data ...

In Mobile agents systems, agents can perform their programs with traveling from the server to others and fault tolerance is important in their itinerary. In the paper, existent methods of fault tolerance in mobile agents are considering and described. Then the method is considered that which uses cooperating two agents to fault tolerance, to detect and to recover server and agent failure, meani...

W hat goes inside a Maya building is just as signif icant in determining its function as a building's architectural plan and external appearance. Structures are not alike in their contents. Some hold in-terments and caches; some contain earlier buildings; others are single or multiple construction efforts with no contents other than f ill. Artifacts are found littered on the f loors of some bui...

We present AutonoVi-Sim, a novel high-fidelity simulation platform for au1 tonomous driving data generation and driving strategy testing. AutonoVi-Sim 2 is a collection of high-level extensible modules which allows the rapid develop3 ment and testing of vehicle configurations and facilitates construction of complex 4 traffic scenarios. Autonovi-Sim supports multiple vehicles with unique steerin...
