In this study, we present a semi-automatic procedure using Neural Networks— Self Organizing Map—and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission DEMs to characterize morphometric features of the landscape in the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians”. We investigate specially the effect of two resolutions, SIR-C with 3 arc seconds and X-SAR with 1 arc second for morphometric feature identification...

CONTEXT Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant neoplasm of epithelial tissue origin. OSCC is traditionally graded into well, moderate and poorly differentiated. The assessment of cellular and nuclear features is very important in the histological grading of OSCC. AIMS To establish morphometric study as an important prognostic indicator of OSCC. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The present st...

Actinomycetes are inexhaustible producers of commercially valuable metabolites, are continually screened for beneficial compounds. The taxonomic and phylogenetic study of novel actinomycetes strains are mostly based on conventional methods and primary DNA structure of 16s rRNA. Although 16s rRNA sequence is well accepted in phylogeny studies, its secondary structures have not been widely used. ...

background: the people residing in coastal areas of visakhapatnam are mostly engaged in fishery, which is always been a physically demanding job, and numerous factors have direct or indirect impact on the health of fishermen; but, the data about their physical fitness or health status is quite scanty. thus, the present study was conducted to assess their cardiorespiratory fitness pattern, as we...

Methods 1) 10 weeks old Fgf10 mice (50% Fgf10 expression compared to WT) in normoxic condition: Lung function and morphometric analysis. 2) BPD model: a) Fgf10 and Fgf10 mice were exposed to 85% O2 from P0-P8. Morphometric analysis and a-Actin/vWF staining were performed at P3. b) Rosa26;tet(O)Fgf10 (gain-of-function) mice were exposed to 85% O2 from P0-P8. From P9-P45 the pups were exposed to ...

Development and interpretation of morphometric maps are important tools in studies related to neotectonics and geomorphology; Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows speed and precision to this process, but applied methodology will vary according to available tools and degree of knowledge of each researcher about involved software. A methodology to integrate GIS and statistics in morphometr...
