Background Ventricular dysfunction in patients with a single right ventricle (SRV) or a single left ventricle (SLV) is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality. In normal hearts, LV and RV augment each other, while this is not possible in single ventricle (SV) patients. Ventricular-ventricular relationship in SV patients remain poorly understood, with only a few studies performed [1-3]. ...

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has recently approved several proposals submitted by the present Caliciviridae Study Group. These proposals include the division of the family into 4 new genera designated Lagovirus, Vesivirus, "Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs), and "Sapporo-like viruses (SLVs); the latter 2 genera were assigned temporary names until acceptable names can be d...

However, in attempting to find a suitable polynomial approximation to a general function fix), the integral occurring in equation (1.3) cannot be evaluated explicitly, and recourse has to be made to approximate methods for evaluating a„ . The most widely used method is the "curve-fitting" method described by Lanczos [1], and, in greater detail, by Clenshaw and Curtis [2]. There are two variatio...

Quality control on fruits requires reliable methods, able to assess with reasonable accuracy and possibly in a non-destructive way their physical and chemical characteristics. More specifically, a decreased firmness indicates the presence of damage or defects in the fruit or else that the fruit has exceeded its “best before date”, becoming unsuitable for consumption. In high-value exotic fruits...

The representation of relationships between haplotypes in a population is performed normally through the use of trees. Frequently, the selection of a single tree implies the application of maximum parsimony principles, being prone to interpretation errors. The adoption of a graph structure, rather than a tree-like structure, avoids making simplifying assumptions leaving open the number of possi...
