Nacrtak Forest biomass from timber harvesting residues is often used during mechanized forest opera­ tions to improve trafficability of strip roads (machine operating trails). In particular, during cut-to-length operations brush mats from harvesting residues are created on operating trails to reduce rutting. However, forest biomass is becoming increasingly important as a source of renewable ene...

BACKGROUND Cancer of the oral cavity is the sixth most common malignancy reported worldwide and one with the highest mortality rate among all malignancies. There is a paucity of reliable diagnostic methods to detect early malignancies. This study was performed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of brush biopsy in identifying oral premalignant and malignant lesions. METHODS Oral brush...

This paper uses theories of complexity, pace layering and resilience to address the question of tagging and folksonomies, and their influence on the practice of information architecture. User-centered tagging systems such as Flickr and del.icio.us have triggered diverse responses, both within and outside the community of information studies, because they differ so sharply from many standard app...

Visualizing dynamic graphs is challenging because changing node and edge attributes as well as topological alterations need to be encoded in the visual representation. However, existing approaches such as animation, juxtaposition, and superimposition do not scale well. In this poster we propose a novel layering approach for visualizing dynamic graphs where the graph for each point in time is a ...

Background: World wide, Cervical cancer comprises 12% of all cancers in women. In developed countries, routine cervical cytology tests resulted in a large decline in cervical cancer incidence. This study is a descriptive- analytical research to evaluate the order of cell sampling from exocervix and endocervix and compare final cytological diagnosis. Materials and methods: Totally, 1129 smears ...

Two extremely high molecular weight proteins were found to be components of the intestinal epithelial cell brush border cytoskeleton. The largest brush border protein, designated T-protein, migrated on SDS gels as a doublet of polypeptides with molecular weights similar to muscle titin T I and T II. The other large brush border protein, designated N-protein, was found to have a polypeptide mole...
