What factors determine the spatial heterogeneity of household energy consumption (HEC) in China? Can the impacts of these factors be quantified? What are the trends and characteristics of the spatial differences? To date, these issues are still unclear. Based on the STIRPAT model and panel dataset for 30 provinces in China over the period 1997–2013, this paper investigated influences of the inc...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as essential gene expression regulators associated with human diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of miR-330-3p and its target gene BMI1 in tissue samples of patients with CRC, polyp, and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with clinicopathological and demographic factors such as age...

introduction and aims: previous reports show a high proportion of young crc patients in iran. in this study we aim to look for the clustering of colorectal cancer in families of a series of crc patients from iran. materials and methods: the family history of cancer is traced in 449 crc patients of which 112 were 45 years or younger and 337 were older than 45years at time of diagnosis. the patie...

background colorectal cancer (crc) is the second most common malignancy in the world.  however, its mortality rate can be reduced if diagnosed early. p33 ing1b is a tumor suppressor protein, which plays a role in growth control and apoptosis. suppression of p33 ing1b is associated with the loss of cellular growth control. however, p33 ing1b expression in crc and its correlations with clinicopat...

background and purpose: colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most highly prevalent and life-threatening digestive tract cancers. crc and its treatment are associated with numerous complications in the patients. orem’s self-care model is a theory on clinical improvement and reducing fatigue in patients with crc. this study aimed to investigate the effects of orem’s self-care theory on the nutri...

This paper presents a theoretical result in the context of realizing high speed hardware for parallel CRC checksums. Starting from the serial implementation widely reported in literature, we have identified a recursive formula from which our parallel implementation is derived. In comparison with previous works, the new scheme is faster and more compact and is independent of the technology used ...
