Fishes, in general, follow ammonotelic mode of excretion. However, certain stress factors may provoke them to excrete urea. In the present study, the possible role of ureogenesis to avoid accumulation of toxic ammonia under water-restricted condition was tested in Heteropneustes fossilis. A total of hundred fishes were collected and sacrificed. Excretory urea and ammonia were estimated in the w...

Cloud top heights as derived using measurements of two instruments (GOME and ATSR-2) onboard the ESA ERS-2 space platform are intercompared. It was found that cloud altitudes obtained using thermal IR measurements of ATSR-2 highly correlate with those obtained from top-of-atmosphere backscattered solar light measurements of GOME in O2 A-band using both the semi-analytical cloud retrieval algori...

The original multiscale MRF texture model proposed by Paget (IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1998, page 925-931) can be used to synthesize a broad range of textures but is limited to taking a single input texture and outputting a homogeneous texture similar to the input. This is insufficient for textures that have combined visual characteristics from several different sources. To address...

This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity and efficacy of modified FOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with particular regard to oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy. Toxicity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) (version 3.0). The evaluation was especially focused on grade 2 oxal...
