While it is known that European mortality rates from heart disease have substantially decreased within all age groups, it has been assumed that this decline might not be seen in younger adults. In younger people, the benefits from reduced smoking might be offset by increases in obesity, diabetes, and other potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Alternative splicing plays an important role in regulating gene expression. Currently, most efficient methods use expressed sequence tags or microarray analysis for large-scale detection of alternative splicing. However, it is difficult to detect all alternative splice events with them because of their inherent limitations. Previous computational methods for alternative splicing prediction coul...

Detection of very fine defects in the width range of a few microns is very difficult by using conventional radiographic equipment, due to three limiting factorscontrast, definition and image graininess. Variables, such as X-ray energy, scattered radiation, type of film, processing parameters, film density, focal spot size, source to object distance etc, if controlled properly, can lead to radio...
