DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is a congenital disease characterized by defects in organs and tissues that depend on contributions by cell populations derived from neural crest for proper development. A number of candidate genes that lie within the q11 region of chromosome 22 commonly deleted in DGS patients have been identified. Orthologues of the DGS candidate gene HIRA are expressed in the neural c...

DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) has classically been characterized by the triad of clinical features including congenital cardiac defects, immune deficiencies secondary to aplasia or hypoplasia of the thymus, and hypocalcaemia due to small or absent parathyroid glands. The phenotypic features of these patients are much more variable and extensive than previously recognized. The acknowledgement of simil...

Malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (OGCTs) include immature teratomas (ITs), dysgerminomas (DGs), endodermal sinus tumors (ESTs), choriocarcinomas, and embryonal carcinomas. Knowledge about the genetic changes associated with malignant OGCT development is sparse. We therefore analyzed 25 OGCTs (12 DGs, 4 ESTs, and 9 ITs) for gains and losses by comparative genomic hybridization. In total, more ...

Rapid expansion of the fuel ethanol industry has greatly increased availability of distillery byproducts. Distiller’s grains with solubles (DGS) are the predominant byproduct of fermenting grains into fuel ethanol. During this process, starch is removed from the grain and the residual components of the grain are concentrated in the DGS. Improvements in the conversion of cereal grains to ethanol...

Dynamic or interactive Geometry software (DGS) is the mathematical version of vector based drawing software: the objects (points, lines, circles, conics, polygons, etc.) are both graphical and mathematical entities. This allows adding relations between the objects that govern their behavior. Thus, DGS is used as an input tool for constructions, as opposed to simple drawings. The additional info...

OBJECTIVE The main goal was to explore the different toxin properties (proteolytic, hemorrhagic, and neurotoxic) of Leptodeira annulata ashmeadii Duvernoy's gland secretion (DGS). METHODS To separate and characterize the different proteins present in L. annulata ashmeadii DGS, 20% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was run. To partially purify the proteolytic...

Recently, the penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) at medium and low voltages in utility networks is increasing in developed countries and takes special place for them worldwide. Due to the DGs advantages, including use of Renewable Energy which do not pollute environment and has endless nature, the application of DGs can potentially reduce the need for traditional system expansion, contr...

We present a study of the classification of z∼ 1 extremely red objects (EROs), using a combination of Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC), and ground-based images of the COSMOS field. Our sample includes ∼ 5300 EROs with i − Ks ≥ 2.45 (AB, equivalently I − Ks = 4 in Vega) and Ks ≤ 21.1 (AB). For EROs in our sample, we compute, us...

In this paper optimum size and location of capacitors and distributed generations (DGs) are determined simultaneously in a radial distribution network. The objective function includes power losses reduction and voltage profile improvement using ant colony algorithm. Allocation capacitors and of DGs should be carefully determined with the consideration of different planning incentives. It shows ...
