Germany has experienced a strong and sustained labour market upswing since the mid-2000s. While various studies have highlighted different specific reasons for this development, study contributes to debate by simultaneously considering broad set of candidate factors in unified methodological framework systematically weighing them against each other on an empirical basis. We develop structural m...

Deriving useful microsatellite markers in lepidopterans has been challenging when relying on scans of genomic DNA libraries, presumably due to repetitiveness in their genomes. We assayed 96 of 320 microsatellites identified in silico from a collection of Bicyclus anynana ESTs, in 11 independent individuals from a laboratory population. From the 68 successful assays, we identified 40 polymorphic...

Hydatid disease is one of the most serious parasitic infection in humans and ruminants. In spite of this, no research had been conducted about the prevalence of this infection in the city of Arak, which is one of the centers for raising livestocks. In order to do this, medical files of  73 subjects, whom were diagnosed as having hydatid cyst ( between years 1983-1993) and had gone under operati...

We present an image of pseudo-polymorphic ventricular tachycardia recording on a 12-lead surface ECG Holter. Although at first glance the appearance of the recording resembled polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, careful investigation revealed normal electrocardiographic findings.
