Systems biology is based on the understanding that the behaviour of the whole is greater than would be expected from the sum of its parts. Thus the ultimate goal of systems biology is to predict the behaviour of the whole system on the basis of the list of components involved. Recent advances in ‘-omics’ technologies and the development of new computational techniques and algorithms have greatl...

The growing interest in the psychological distress in patients with cancer has been the major reason for the conduction of this study. The aims were to assess the relationship of hopelessness, anxiety, distress, and preparatory grief, as well as their predictive power to hopelessness. Ninety-four patients with advanced cancer completed the study at a palliative care unit in Athens, Greece. Beck...

Field orientation, in one of its many forms, is an established control method for high dynamic performance AC drives. In particular, for induction motors, indirect fieldoriented control is a simple and highly reliable scheme which has become the de facto industry standard. In spite of its widespread popularity no rigorous stability proof for this controller was available in the literature. In a...

Incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains high. Limited data is available about whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent arrhythmic death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the impact of CKD on all-cause and sudden cardiac death in ICD recipients. We evaluated 4...

OBJECTIVE Clinical observations suggest that negative affects such as helplessness/hopelessness (HE/HO) may induce autonomic duration; affects were assessed for every move after reconstruction of the games. In all games compiled, 18 situation of intense confidence/optimism and 20 of intense helplessness/hopelessness were observed. RESULTS Intense affects of HE/HO were associated with decreasi...

Maize plays an important role both as food and feed throughout the world. For morphological characterization evaluation of yield attributes maize genotypes experiment was carried out at experimental field Department Crop Botany Tea Production Technology, Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU). The materials were seven exotic viz.ZM 0001, ZM 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006ZM 0007 along with BARI 6 co...
