Nacrtak For sanitary reasons, spruce trees affected by bark beetles (Ips typographus L.) should be removed out of the stand as soon as possible, to avoid the propagation of the beetles to healthy trees. One possibility, to utilize the accruing crown material in a reasonable way (instead of burning it) could be, to use it as wood-chips for biomass heating plants. The aim of this project was ther...

Myeloid neoplasms are clonal diseases of hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells that result from molecular alterations that perturb cellular self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation. As classified by the World Health Organization, myeloid neoplasms include myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MPN/MDS overlap, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which can oc...

The coordinated regulation of gene expression in higher eukaryotes is complex and poorly understood. Recent technological advances have allowed the first insights into these networks on a genome-wide scale. These investigations have identified transcription factor target sites in the genome and successfully predicted cooperative interactions with other factors. However, a detailed understanding...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the fracture load of veneered anterior zirconia crowns using normal and Weibull distribution of complete and censored data. METHODS Standardized zirconia frameworks for maxillary canines were milled using a CAD/CAM system and randomly divided into 3 groups (N=90, n=30 per group). They were veneered with three veneering ceramics, namely GC Initia...
