the late sexual maturity in sturgeon and the absence of morphological differences between males and females makes sex discrimination difficult. identification of sex at an early life stage is of high interest in caviar production because it allows efficient selection of females. in this study, the genome of 10 mature male and 10 mature female specimens of persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus...

a pvc membrane ni(ii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using (1e,2e)-bis(2-aminophenyl)n'1,n'2-dihydroxyethanebis as membrane carrier. the electrode exhibited a goodpotentiometric response for ni(ii) over a wide concentration range 1.0×10-4 to 1.0×10-1m with aslope of 29.4±0.5 mv/decade a and a working ph range of 6.5-9.0. it had a fast response time of≤20s. the best perfo...

in order to study the cu(ii) ion selective electrode, an optimized membrane was prepared by mixing of 30 mg of pvc powdered, 5 mg of considered ionophore, 60 mg of plasticizer and 5 mg of additive. the sensor showed a near nernstian response for cu(ii) ions over a concentration range from 1.0×0-6 –1.0×0-2 m with a slope of 28.90.5 mv per concentration decade with a working ph range of 3.5-6.3. ...

the electrochemical behavior of a modified carbon paste electrode (mcpe) with n,n′ethylenbis(salicylideneiminato)copper(ii) complex ([cu(ii)-salen]) was investigated as a newsensor for cystein. the britton-robinson buffer with ph 5, 10% modifier in electrode, potentialscanning rate of 20 mvs-1 and puls height of 50 mv were used as the optimum condition for thedetermination of cysteine using car...

objective(s):to determine the fetal discernment in suspected cases of sex linked recessive disease in the first trimester of pregnancy. materials and methods: after collection of 100 chorionic villi samples, the dnas were extracted and baby gender was determined. meanwhile, after increasing the sensitivity, the system was able to detect the sex of each cell which was obtained by biopsy. results...

background: fetal dna in maternal plasma and serum has been shown to be a useful material for prenatal fetal sex determination during early gestational ages. non-invasive prenatal diagnosis is now possible at 8th week of pregnancy, by maternal blood sample testing. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate two dna extraction methods from mother plasma and its routine clinical applica...

We consider first the zero-nonzero determination problem, which consists in determining the list of zero-nonzero conditions realized by a finite list of polynomials on a finite set Z ⊂ C with C an algebraic closed field. We describe an algorithm to solve the zero-nonzero determination problem and we perform its bit complexity analysis. This algorithm, which is in many ways an adaptation of the ...

interferences”. We considered the latter two sources of error to be outside the scope of our study, in part because it is difficult to know how one might model the interferences. We did, however, discuss the importance of the continuing efforts of manufacturers to design instruments that avoid sources of error, such as those encountered by patients with special needs. We believe that our conclu...

Simulation is important in evaluating novel methods when input data is not easily obtainable or specific assumptions are needed. We present cophesim, a software to add the phenotype to generated genotype data prepared with a genetic simulator. The output of cophesim can be used as a direct input for different genome wide association study tools. cophesim is available from https://bitbucket.org/...
