Pancreatic cancer is a relatively rare malignancy with a very aggressive natural course, not restrained by the existing current treatments. At the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, the results of few phase I clinical studies on solid tumors and pancreatic cancer were presented. In particular, in the field of immunotherapy, a pilot phase I study tested for first t...

The Makey & Seal [(1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 453, 250-2561 method of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in buffer containing 6M-urea was used to determine the distribution of iron between the N-terminal and C-terminal iron-binding sites of transferrin in human serum. In fresh serum the two sites are unequally occupied; there is preferential occupation of the N-terminal site. On incubation of...

The genes encoding Δ6 desaturase, Δ6 fatty acid elongase, and Δ5 desaturase from the alga, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, were co-expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana under the control of the Brassica napus napin promoter to produce arachidonic acid (ARA; 20:4 Δ 8, 11, ) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5 Δ 8, 11, 14, ). ARA and EPA accumulated up to 0.5% and 0.05% of total fatty acids, respectively...

Bilgisayar destekli cihazların ve sistemlerin sağlık alanında kullanımı oldukça yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu cihaz hastalıkların daha hızlı erken teşhisine katkısı yüksekti. Özellikle Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (MRI), Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) gibi görüntüleme cihazları; teşhisin önemli olduğu hastalıklar özelinde büyük bir rol oynamaktadır. Nörolojik hastalıklarda da MR BT görüntülerinin derin öğr...

Estimates of the global number of arthropod species range from 2 million to more than 30 million species. One of the most critical assumptions affecting the higher of these estimates is the assumed magnitude of host specificity of phytophagous insects, which varies considerably. Difficulties in estimating this value are caused by both lack of satisfactory data sets and lack of methods for its o...

this study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the caspian sea on flooding using geographic information systems (gis) and hydrodynamic modeling. a rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. the feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...
