The consequences of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus during pregnancy are severe for both mother and fetus. The risk of congenital malformations among infants of diabetic mothers is related to the quality of the diabetic control (Allen et al., 2007; American Diabetes Association [ADA], 2004). In diabetic pregnancy, unsatisfactory glycemic control at the moment of diagnosis or delivery of care was...

Galaxy cluster gas mass fraction versus redshift data (Allen et al. 2004) and Hubble parameter versus redshift data (Simon et al. 2005) are used to jointly constrain dark energy models. These constraints favor the Einstein cosmological constant limit of dark energy but do not strongly rule out slowly-evolving dark energy. Subject headings: cosmology: cosmological parameters — cosmology: observa...

The Allen Human Brain Atlas provides an anatomically comprehensive view of gene expression in the brain (Hawrylycz et al., 2012). The complete transcriptome dataset consists of 58,692 measurements of gene expression in 3702 brain samples obtained from 6 individuals. The resulting product, over 200 million gene expression values, can be overwhelming for neuroscientists seeking to use the data. F...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have gained worldwide attention in recent years, particularly with the proliferation of Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology which has facilitated the development of smart sensors. Smart sensors are small devices composed of one or more sensors, a memory, a processor, a power supply and a radio unit. They can sense the environment, measure and send ...

Arsenic, an important environmental contaminant, is present in the aquatic environment as a result of geogenic and anthropogenic processes (Gonzaliz et al., 2006; Singh and Banerjee, 2008) and it has been reported as one of the most alarming chemical (ATSDR, 2002). In the environment, arsenic is present in different forms and the toxicity depends upon its chemical form and oxidation states (Agu...
