Abstract Background Chromosomal segmental copy number variation (CNV) has been recently recognized as a very important source of genetic variability.Some CNV loci involve genes or conserved regulatory elements.Compelling evidence indicates that CNVs impact genome functions.The chicken is a very important farm animal species which has also served as

Background: Subjective health states valuation has an increasing impact in the last decade and is used more and more in determining the quality of life of population.On its basis the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) are calculated that are used in economic cost utility analyses in health care fi eld.Quite in a few countries such analyses are rec

Amyloid myopathy (AM) is a rare manifestation of primary systemic amyloidosis (AL).Like inflammatory myopathies, it presents with proximal muscle weakness and an increased creatine kinase level.We describe a case of AL with severe, rapidly progressive myopathy as the initial symptom.The clinical manifestation and GF BROWN RICE FARINA muscle biopsy

In this paper, we propose a fiber-optic time synchronization technique based on the bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission over a fiber link.The effect of fiber dispersion on the uncertainty of the system is effectively suppressed by properly allocating the forward and backward wavelength maps.Thus, only an initial easy-t
