this research studies the potential impact of climate change on future trend and changes of two well known drought indicators namely rdi and spi in yazd meteorological station, in central part of iran. for this purpose, data of hadcm3 model that were resulted from gcm-runs based on the ipcc-sres scenarios of a2 and b2 were acquired and analyzed for projection of daily tmin, tmax and precipitati...

Accurate pre-mRNA splicing requires primary splicing signals, including the splice sites, a polypyrimidine tract, and a branch site, other splicing-regulatory elements (SREs). The SREs include exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs), exonic splicing silencers (ESSs), intronic splicing enhancers (ISEs), and intronic splicing silencers (ISSs), which are typically located near the splice sites. However, ...

Long-term food demand scenarios are an important tool for studying global food security and for analysing the environmental impacts of agriculture. We provide a simple and transparent method to create scenarios for future plant-based and animal-based calorie demand, using time-dependent regression models between calorie demand and income. The scenarios can be customized to a specific storyline ...

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Recently, deep transcriptional sequencing has been used as an effective genomic assay to get an insight into this disease. AIM This study is carried out to identify specific regulatory elements (SREs) in lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The RNA-sequencing data on lung cancer sample and normal sample were do...

Assessing uncertain futures Perceived uncertainties and risks can be considered to be the main motivation behind ‘Futures Thinking’ or ‘Futures Studies’ to assess potential economic, environmental, social or technical developments and their expected consequences on society and environment (or from a systems perspective – feedbacks between the components of complex social-ecological systems, e.g...

Most model projections agree that the ocean will experience stronger stratification and less nutrient supply from deep waters. ...
