The investigation of samples with low amounts of template DNA remains at the forefront of forensic DNA research and technology as it becomes increasingly important to gain DNA profile information from exceedingly trace levels of DNA. Previous studies have demonstrated that it is possible to obtain short tandem repeat (STR) profiles from <100pg of template DNA by increasing the number of amplifi...

A database for 14 short tandem repeat loci on Y-chromosome (Y-STRs) (DYS393, DYS19, DYS391, DYS437, DYS435, DYS439, DYS389II, DYS438, DYS436, DYS390, Y-GATA-H4, DYS385, DYS460, and DYS392) was constructed from 207 Honshu-Japanese (main island of Japan, Nagoya City) and 87 Okinawa-Japanese (southernmost islands of Japan) male DNA specimens. The samples were analyzed for 14 Y-STRs using two multi...

The analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA sequences is of fundamental importance to forensic science because they have become the recognized standard in constructing national public databases. Consequently, considerable effort has been expended in developing multiplexed (one tube) reactions that analyze several loci in combination. The implementation of STRs in casework cannot take place wi...

AIM To study the distribution of allele frequencies of 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci in a representative sample of Croatian population. METHODS A total of 195 unrelated Caucasian individuals born in Croatia, from 14 counties and the City of Zagreb, were sampled for the analysis. All the tested individuals were voluntary donors. Buccal swab was used as the DNA source. AmpFlSTR Identifiler ...

Resonator techniques can be successfully used to extract effective medium properties from dispersive materials. However, in some cases the dispersion can cause modes to repeat. If repeated modes are not taken into account, the useful range of the resonator technique is limited. A resonance tube containing tethered balloons is used to create a dispersive effective medium. Resonator measurements ...

cerebrovascular attack (cva) and transient ischemic attack (tia) are major causes of emergency department visits around the globe. a significant number of these patients may experience repeat attacks if left untreated. several risk stratifying scoring systems have been developed in recent years to point out the high risk patients. abcd 2 is based on age, blood pressure, clinical status, diabete...
