In this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by Cu2+/S2O82− process has beenpresented. Cu2+ as photocatalyst and S2O82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. Atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.The influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as pH, concentration o...

Recent advances in data intensive computing for science discovery are fueling a dramatic growth in the use of dataintensive iterative computations. The utility computing model introduced by cloud computing, combined with the rich set of cloud infrastructure and storage services, offers a very attractive environment in which scientists can perform data analytics. The challenges to large-scale di...

Joint genetic and neuroimaging data analysis on large cohorts of subjects is a new approach used to assess and understand the variability that exists between individuals. This approach has remained poorly understood so far and brings forward very significant challenges, as progress in this field can open pioneering directions in biology and medicine. As both neuroimagingand genetic-domain obser...

A DNA body is present in the females of the fly Tipula oleracea and is formed in contact with the sex chromosomes in the oogonial interphases. At each oogonial mitosis, the DNA body follows the chromosomes to one anaphase group and is included in one of the telophase nuclei. The body increases appreciably in size during the interphase of meiosis. All oocytes have the body, but only a few nurse ...

Results Examples will be given in a number of diseases but focusing on breast cancer and the results from the AZURE trial on the use of zoledronic acid, as well as from CALGBB trial 9741 which evaluated a dose-dense treatment strategy, as proposed by Norton and Simon. Results will be presented, including quantification of the cellkilling effect of zoledronic acid from the AZURE trial, which dem...
