Clinal variation has been described in a number of inversions in Drosophila but these clines are often characterized by cytological techniques using small sample sizes, and associations with specific genes are rarely considered. Here we have developed a molecular assay for In(3R)Payne in Drosophila melanogaster from eastern Australia populations. It shows in repeated samples that the inversion ...

Aim. To evaluate how health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutions of Yin-Xu, Yang-Xu, and Stasis are related in type 2 diabetes patients. Method. Seven hundred and five subjects were recruited in 2010 for this study from a Diabetes Shared Care Network in Taiwan. Generic and disease-specific HRQOL were assessed by the short form 36 (SF-36) and the d...

This paper deals with the classic second order Payne-Whitham macroscopic model, commonly known as PW-Model, used to represent and forecast traffic conditions in a freeway. The results of the model may show a misbehavior similar to the instability of numerical solutions of partial differential equations. Since this model comes from a partial differential equation system, we use some stability ru...
