Resource utilization by nine abundant piscivores from a diverse tropical fish assemblage was examined over the course of a year. All nine species exhibited peak reproduction during the early wet season and a similar sequence of size-dependent shifts from a diet composed primarily of microcrustacea, to aquatic insects, and finally fishes. Three piranha species specialized on fish firis, particul...

Introduction: the objectives of this research were determination of Mean Glandular Dose in film- screen and digital mammography examinations, estimation of accumulated effective dose in some of mammography centers in Tehran city and estimating cancer risk due to these examinations. Materials and Methods: the clinical data were collected from the 1318 <...

YODEL is a peak calling software for analyzing RNA sequencing data generated by High-Throughput Sequencing of RNA isolated by Crosslinking Immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP; also known as CLIP-SEQ), a method to identify RNA-protein interactions genome-wide. We designed YODEL to analyze HITS-CLIP experiments, in which Argonaute proteins are immunoprecipitated, followed by sequencing of the associat...

KEELEY FX JR. Endoscopic biopsy of upper tract tumors: why bother? Can J Urol 2012;19(6):6566. BIGopsy device outperformed the Piranha forceps in terms of size and diagnostic accuracy, albeit in a very small group of patients. Its greatest value may lie in its ability to obtain good samples from sessile tumors. This aspect of the manuscript will be of interest to readers, even if it is too smal...

B invasion, which has caused grave disasters in history, particularly by infectious pathogenic microorganisms, is intimately associated with international trade. As economic globalization becomes enhanced, the risks of biological invasion have become increasingly acute, threatening ecological security, public health, and sustainable agriculture. According to studies in Europe and North America,...

In 1998, Brin and Page [2] identified the need for an Internet search engine capable of scaling to a huge size. They foresaw the explosion of the number of web pages to continue, making human maintained lists of web pages more expensive and less effective. They explain that with this increase in web pages comes an increase in matching pages per query, and thus the ranking system must be more ac...
