Pooled Genomic Indexing (PGI) is a novel method for physical mapping of clones onto known macromolecular sequences. PGI is carried out by pooling arrayed clones, generating shotgun sequence reads from pools and by comparing the reads against a reference sequence. If two reads from two different pools match the reference sequence at a close distance, they are both assigned (deconvoluted) to the ...

Abstract AIMS CaPaBLE tests the feasibility and acceptability of assessing quality life (QoL) using patient-, or caregiver-generated index (PGI/CaGI) methodology in patients with HGG their caregivers. METHOD CaPaBLE, (https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN45555598), followed and/or caregivers up to 6 months. Standard measures for were EORTC QLQ-C30/BN20, CarGOQOL questionnaire. The QoL topics raised thr...

Previous studies have shown that paragigantocellularis nucleus (PGI) neurons contain some neurotransmitters such as GABA, neuropeptides, monoamines, substance P, enkephalin and serotonin. It has been suggested that PGI is a main cholinergic source in the rat’s brain stem. There are few evidences on the presence and importance of cholinergic receptors on PGI neurons with regard to nociception. I...

We provide axiomatizations for six variants of the Public Good Index for games with a priori unions. Two such coalitional PGIs have been introduced and alternatively axiomatized in Alonso-Meijide et al. (2008b). They assign power in two steps. In the first step, power is distributed between unions according to the PGI of the quotient game. In a second step, the Solidarity PGI splits power equal...

outcomes in a genocide-affected population in Rwanda. Specifically, we examined whether an individual’s belief in their ability to change and develop had an adaptive role in managing symptoms of distress. Prior research has demonstrated that high levels of PGI are associated with psychological well-being (Robitschek & Keyes, 2009), and lower levels of depression and anxiety (Robitschek & Kashub...

In the paper we propose PD calibration framework for LDP that allows producing smooth non-zero PD estimates for any given time horizon within the length of economic cycle. The advantages of the approach is that produced PDs are consistent with two main anchors – PIT and TTC PD estimates and are subject to smooth, monotonic transition between those two anchors. In practise, proposed framework co...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the motion interplay effect in early-stage left-sided breast cancer intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), incorporating the radiobiological gamma index (RGI). The IMRT dosimetry for various breathing amplitudes and cycles was investigated in 10 patients. The predicted dose was calculated using the convolution of segmented measured ...

The discus is a very popular and expensive aquarium fish belonging to the family Cichlidae, genus Symphysodon, formed by three Amazon basin endemic species: Symphysodon aequifasciatus, S. discus and S. tarzoo. The taxonomic status of these fish is very controversial, with a paucity of molecular research on their population genetic structure and species identification. Information on molecular g...
