Lung adenosquamous carcinoma is a particular subtype of non-small cell lung carcinoma that is defined by the coexistence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. The aim of this study was to assess the mutational profile in each component of 16 adenosquamous carcinoma samples from a ...
Background Enalapril is an antihypertensive medicine that inhibits angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). The present study investigated interactions between enalapril and a fermented milk product (FMP) containing the ACE-inhibitory peptides, Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP). Methods Single-dose ...
Abstract We present perforating on wireline with dynamic underbalance (DUB) to simultaneously maximize productivity and minimize gunshock. We focus on perforating on wireline with DUB because, when compared with other approaches, perforating with DUB is probably the best method to deliver lower tunnel ...
Moisture retentive gloves characterized by using fibers treated with a moisture retentive component as fibers of an internal surface of gloves fabricated of a rubber or a synthetic resin. In particular, moisture retentive gloves wherein the fibers of an internal surface of gloves are staple fibers bonded ...
An information processing device is associated with a mobile body trajectory database storing mobile body trajectory data including a mobile body ID and trajectory data for each mobile body ID, and with an aerial photograph database storing aerial photograph data including an aerial photograph scene ...
This study investigated effects of microalgae (Rhodomonas baltica) and heterotrophic protists (Oxyrrhis marina) on the daily growth, activity, condition and feeding success of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) larvae from hatch, through the end of the endogenous (yolk sac) period. Yolk sac larvae were ...
Global climate change is expected to have major effects on host-parasite dynamics, with potentially enormous consequences for entire ecosystems. To develop an accurate prognostic framework, theoretical models must be supported by empirical research. We investigated potential changes in host-parasite ...
Statistical models often use observational data to predict phenomena; however, interpreting model terms to understand their influence can be problematic. This issue poses a challenge in species conservation where setting priorities requires estimating influences of potential stressors using observational ...
In the coastal countries of East Asia and Southeast Asia, ciguatera should be common because of the extensive tropical and subtropical coral reefs along the coasts and in the neighboring seas with ciguatoxic fishes. An extensive search of journal databases, the Internet and the government websites was ...
Marking organisms with fluorescent dyes and powders is a common technique used in ecological field studies that monitor movement of organisms to examine life history traits, behaviors, and population dynamics. External fluorescent marking is relatively inexpensive and can be readily employed to quickly ...
Background Dietary supplements are taken by about half of Americans. Knowledge of dietary supplement use is important because they may interact with prescription drugs or other supplements, cause adverse reactions including psychiatric symptoms, or contain inherently toxic ingredients or contaminants. ...
A neural code based on sequences of spikes can consume a significant portion of the brain's energy budget. Thus, energy considerations would dictate that spiking activity be kept as low as possible. However, a high spike-rate improves the coding and representation of signals in spike trains, particularly ...
This paper describes a technological development project in charge of collecting and relaying data using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) from one or more small, low power, modular sensor nodes that can be placed in remote areas or floating on the water surface. The overall characteristics and architecture ...
This paper presents a combined robotic and external ballistic model to predict the feed pellet distribution pattern across the water surface generated by a pneumatic rotary feed spreader commonly used in sea cage aquaculture. Results from experimental studies have been used to parameterize and validate ...
The development of non-invasive methods for fish welfare and contaminant monitoring is of high relevance for the production of high quality and safe farmed fish. We have recently shown the suitability of the Shannon entropy (SE) in a commercially relevant fish system (European seabass, Dicentrarchus ...
Multimedia advertising content needs to be assessed before campaign to assure its future success. Content consumption techniques are used to identify user's interest through a determined content, but it needs effective validation. This paper describes the design of a two-fold analysis of video consumption ...
Wikis delineate a new work tool in enterprises and they are spreading everywhere. Indeed, they are often used as internal documentation for various in-house systems and applications as well as powerful tools for collaboration and knowledge sharing. As occurs with software, the fundamental growth of ...
This paper presents a radio-frequency identification (RFID) aquarium sensing system in order to monitor the parameters of the environments in an aquarium. The system includes tags, readers, antennas, impedance matching circuits, and embedded sensors. The RFID tag is powered by the reader through electromagnetic ...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are deployed in search and rescue operations where it is difficult for divers to reach. During the operation a fleet of AUVs communicate among themselves and exchange two type of information. The first includes control signal which has a low-data rate but has a ...
