We construct the incipient infinite cluster measure (IIC) for sufficiently spread-out oriented percolation on Zd × Z+, for d + 1 > 4 + 1. We consider two different constructions. For the first construction, we define Pn(E) by taking the probability of the intersection of an event E with the event that the origin is connected to (x, n) ∈ Z×Z+, summing this probability over x ∈ Zd, and normalisin...

TO THE EDITOR: Chiang et al are correct that gene expression profilinginpatientswithcancerofunknownprimary(CUP)canbeuseful and in some instances complements immunohistochemistry in determining the primary cancer site or tissue of origin in these patients. However, thecasepresentedisprobablynotCUP,but illustrateswelloneof the limitations of gene expression profiling in patients with suspected CU...

Herbal medicine, botanical medicine, phytotherapy, alternative medicine or, complimentary medicine are terms used to describe the science of using plant-based materials to treat specific symptoms or diseases. People have strong belief that natural remedies are perfectly safe. Because we have strong ties to traditional culture we use herbs and spices on daily basis. Plants are an abundant natura...

During S phase, the entire genome must be precisely duplicated, with no sections of DNA left unreplicated. Here, we develop a simple mathematical model to describe the probability of replication failing due to the irreversible stalling of replication forks. We show that the probability of complete genome replication is maximized if replication origins are evenly spaced, the largest inter-origin...

Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition caused by low doses of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) leading to absence or incomplete sexual maturation. One of the disorders leading to IHH is Kallmann syndrome which is characterized by GnRH deficiency with anosmia or hyposmia. This disorder generally occurs as a hereditary syndrome with X-linked recessive inhe...

Background: Virulent Newcastle disease virus (vNDV) causes great economic losses to the poultry industry throughout the world. Despite the endemicity of Newcastle disease (ND) and occurrence of recurrent outbreaks, the nature and genetic features of circulating NDV strains in Iran are largely unknown. Aims: This study was conducted to characterize 13 NDV isolat...
