The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene was identified in 1989 by geneticist Lap-Chee Tsui and his research team as the gene associated with cystic fibrosis [4] (CF). Tsui?s research pinpointed the gene, some mutations to which cause CF, and it revealed the underlying disease mechanism. The CFTR gene encodes a protein in cell membranes in epithelial tissues and affec...

Abstract: According to attention restoration theory (ART), the mental fatigue that results from enhanced demands on directed imposed by an urban lifestyle can be restored exposure natural settings known as restorative environments. This opportunity becomes more important for children who spend a significant part of their life in institutions such orphanages. Although qualities setting have grea...

Irradiation of the posterior segment of the eye resulting from radiotherapy either of local ocular lesions (e.g. retinoblastoma or malignant melanoma of the choroid) or of extraocular lesions of the adjacent regions (e.g. carcinoma of the antrum and nose, rodent ulcer of the face, squamous cell carcinoma of eyelids, etc.) has been known to produce delayed retinal vascular changes which develop ...

grade control structures are hydraulic structures used to stabilize a river bed. scour downstream of this structure is the main cause of its failure. studies have developed numerous empirical relations for scour depth prediction that designers must choose between to decide the most effective equation for a specific application. this study tested the condition of submerged jets over beds of sedi...

Blood pulse is an important human physiological signal commonly used for the understanding of the individual physical health. Current methods of non-invasive blood pulse sensing require direct contact or access to the human skin. As such, the performances of these devices tend to vary with time and are subjective to human body fluids (e.g. blood, perspiration and skin-oil) and environmental con...
