BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Rearrangements of the short arm of chromosome 12 have been described in different hematologic malignancies. Some of these abnormalities showed a rearrangement of the ETV6 gene. We studied the 12p region in one case with a t(8;12)(q12;p13) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). DESIGN AND METHODS We have identified a chromosome translocation, t(8;12)(q12;p13) in...

the aim of this study is to investigate underground water quality parameters in gorganrud river basin and their connection with aboveground conditions using gis and artificial neural networks. in order to prepare a land use map of the area, liss iii image of irs satellite of the year 2008 was used in a maximum likelihood classification. the results revealed that there was a significant correlat...

Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow cells of a 63-year-old male Caucasian patient with polycythemia vera (PV) who developed anemia, thrombocytopenia, and increased granulocytic immaturity revealed a 47, X,der(Y) t(Y;1)(q12;q12),+9 karyotype. The breakpoint in chromosome 1 appeared to map to q12 and not to q21, as has been described in previous reports without FISH confirmation. In the 4 years b...

This paper examines what factor determines demand of firms for contract farming, and how the market condition affects their demand. 208 pork processing firms in Jilin and Henan Provinces in China faced a severe price competition, and failed to differentiate their products that allow them to raise selling prices. Under this market condition, few firms have demands for employing contract farming....

Nowadays the low quality of agricultural products has resulted in some accidents in China. People are waiting for the arrival of the safe and high quality agricultural products than before. This paper takes the agricultural products’ safety as an example to analyze the RFID application. Firstly, this paper describes the characteristics of logistics activities about the agricultural products. Th...

Agricultural laborers frequently work for piece rate wages – where they are paid per unit of output rather than per unit of time – based on the assumption that these wages incentivize productivity. In this paper, I exploit quasi-experimental variation to estimate the elasticity of labor productivity with respect to piece rate wages by analyzing a high-frequency panel of over 2,000 blueberry pic...
