The cuneiform-inscription (CI) signs recorded on the original clay tablet known as HS 158b from Nippur (1329 B.C.) have been characterized by the use of a multifunctional optoelectronic device. Properties such as features in object and Fourier space or similarity measures between the CI sign samples were investigated by the application of various numerical and experimental procedures. An overal...

To clarify the relationship between the β-fibrinogen (FGB) genetic polymorphism (-148C>T) and ischemic stroke, we identified studies by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CKNI) databases. Data from eligible studies were extracted and subjected to meta-analysis. Publication bias was tested using a funnel plot. We identified 12 independent case-control st...
