A polyglutamine repeat expansion of more than 36 units in a protein called huntingtin (htt) is the only known cause of Huntington's disease (HD). The expanded repeat length is inversely correlated with the age-at-onset (AAO), however, the onset age among HD patients with CAG repeats below 60 units varies considerably. In addition to environmental factors, genetic factors different from the expa...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...

In this paper I present a pedagogical derivation of continuity equations manifesting exact conservation laws in an interacting electronic system based on the nonequilibrium Keldysh technique. The purpose exercise is to lay groundwork for extending hydrodynamic approach transport strongly correlated systems where quasiparticle approximation and Boltzmann kinetic theory fail.

unstable angina has progressive process and even in rest time, it happens frequently. it is a serious situation and 15-20 percent of patients are dying in duration of one year. treatment: patients often hospitalized because observation of their reactions to treatment is easier in hospital. treatment plan must be explain for them carefully. when patient’s situation due to anxiety is critical, be...

to investigate factors affecting the adoption of conservation tillage systems, the tillage methods utilized by wheat producers in the central darab county are categorized into conventional, reduced-tillage and no tillage systems. for this purpose, multinomial logit model approach using the stata software was applied to the data set collected by random cluster sampling method. the explanatory va...

BACKGROUND Significant blood loss continues to plague early tangential excision of the burn wound. Although various techniques to reduce intraoperative blood loss have been described, there is an absence of uniformity and consistency in their application. Furthermore, it is unclear whether these techniques compromise intraoperative tissue assessment and wound outcome. The purpose of this study ...

The conservation of translational symmetry in two-dimensional systems with interaction is a classical subject of statistical mechanics. Here we establish such a result for Gibbsian systems of marked particles with two-body interaction, where the interesting cases of singular, hard-core and discontinuous interactions are included. In particular we thus show the conservation of translational symm...

One of the major goals of the Sustainable Agriculture Farming initiatives at UC Davis is to provide information about the feasibility of adopting conservation tillage and cover cropping at the farm level. The project includes two tillage schemes: standard tillage (ST) and conservation tillage (CT), and three farming methods: conventional, organic, and winter legume cover crop. All three product...

Climate change has resulted in increased vulnerability of smallholder farmers in marginal areas of Zimbabwe where there is limited capacity to adapt to changing climate. One approach that has been used to adapt to changing climate is in-field water harvesting for improved crop yields in the semi- arid regions of Zimbabwe. This review analyses the history of soil and water conservation in Zimbab...
