BACKGROUND: BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers are at substantially increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. The incomplete penetrance coupled with the variable age at diagnosis in carriers of the same mutation suggests the existence of genetic and nongenetic modifying factor In thi...

Global biodiversity gradients are generally expected to reflect greater species replacement closer to the equator. However, empirical validation of global biodiversity gradients largely relies on vertebrates, plants, and other less diverse taxa. Here we assess the temporal and spatial dynamics of gl...

Abstract A mathematical model is developed for stagnation point flow toward a stretching or shrinking sheet of liquid nano-biofilm containing spherical nano-particles and bioconvecting gyrotactic micro-organisms. Variable transport properties of the liquid (viscosity, thermal conductivity, nano-part...

OBJECTIVE: Neurological recovery after stroke mainly depends on the location of the lesion. A substantial portion of strokes affects the brainstem. However, patterns of neural plasticity following brainstem ischemia are almost unknown. METHODS: Here, we established a rat brainstem ischemia model tha...

FigureFigureWe commend JAAPA for publishing its first feature article on preventive health and wellness for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) adults.1 Subject-matter experts have long asserted that TGD health is primary care.2 Although Schmidt and Rizzolo's article reflects a statement from Reisn...

Key Points Proteolytic activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) was compromised by transmembrane serine protease 2 deficiency in murine cortical collecting duct cells and native mouse kidney. To compensate for impaired ENaC activation, rise in plasma aldosterone in response to low-salt die...

Reptiles are a very diverse group with a long evolutionary history dating back 300 million years to the Pennsylvanian subsystem of the Carboniferous period (Hedges & Poling, 1999; Sahney et al., 2010). Reptiles have adapted to a variety of habitats in environments ranging from temperate to hot and m...

Sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in cathode electrode is the most common problem in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems. In this study, the ORR behaviours of a half-cell in the cathodic part were investigated which had an impact on its catalyst activity. The electrode was synthe...

AbstractThe continuing emergence of sudden financial crises and the bankruptcy of Big banks audited by the ‘Big Four’ auditors confirms that the external audit quality (EAQ) always remains insufficient compared to the desired quality. The quality weakness is due either to the bad audit company choic...

This paper discusses a phonetic feature (PF) based automatic speech recognition system (ASR) for Bangla (widely known as Bengali), where the PF features are enhanced. There are three stages in this method where the first step maps Acoustic Features (AFs) or Local Features (LFs) into Phonetic Feature...

This paper presents a distinctive phonetic features (DPFs) based phoneme recognition method by incorporating syllable language models (LMs). The method comprises three stages. The first stage extracts three DPF vectors of 15 dimensions each from local features (LFs) of an input speech signal using t...

This paper aims to create empirical support about Creating Shared Value (CSV) notion developed by Porter, M.E. and Kramer, M.R. (2011). To accomplish the aim, the study has developed a set of decision rules to recognize banking products or services that can be characterized as Sustainable Corporate ...

In the present paper, we are concerned by weighted Arnoldi like methods for solving large and sparse linear systems that have different right-hand sides but have the same coefficient matrix. We first give detailed descriptions of the weighted Gram-Schmidt process and of a Ruhe variant of the weighte...
