the use of quantitative structure–activity relationships, since its advent, has becomeincreasingly helpful in understanding many aspects of biochemical interactions in drug research.this approach was utilized to explain the relationship of structure with biological activity ofantibacterial. for the development of new fungicides against, the quantitative structural–activityrelationship (qsar) an...

applying 2d algorithms for inverting the potential field data is more useful and efficient than their 3d counterparts, whenever the geologic situation permits. this is because the computation time is less and modeling the subsurface is easier. in this paper we present a 2d inversion algorithm for interpreting gravity data by employing a set of constraints including minimum distance, smoothness,...

background: ratio of second and fourth digit (2d:4d) is known to be germane in analyzing utero concentrations of testosterone and estrogen in human and other vertebrates. 2d:4d had been linked several traits like athletes’ abilities, reproductive success, risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease (cvd). metabolic syndrome (mets) is a clustering of several cardiovascular risk factors. waist ci...

introduction emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of autism spectrum disorders (asd). the ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2d:4d) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. ratio of second and fourth digits (2d:4d)  is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...

We report an experimental study of the backscattering of a sound wave of frequency f by a surface vibrating harmonically at frequency F (F << f) and amplitude A in the regime where the Doppler effect overcomes bulk nonlinear effects. When the duration to of the analyzed time series of the scattered wave is small compared to the vibration period, the power spectrum of the backscattered wave is p...
