Heteroplasmy, the mixture of mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA), varies among individuals and cells. Heteroplasmy levels alter the penetrance of pathological mtDNA mutations, and the susceptibility to age-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Although mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in age-related type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the involvement of heteroplasmy in diabetes is unclear. We hy...

conclusions pine trees can be used as a worthy bio-indicator for hms pollution monitoring in the ambient air in areas with extensive vegetation of pine trees. results iron had the highest concentration (345.0053 mg/kg) in leaves when compared with other hms. the concentration of zn, cu, pb and cd were 26.1384, 5.5905, 2.9963 and 0.7383 mg/kg, respectively. spatial mapping indicated that industr...

Worldwide competition among manufacturing enterprises has acted as a driving force for the design, development and utilization of manufacturing systems with an increased degree of agility. In these regards, Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) are considered an intelligent systems paradigm to meet requirements for agile manufacturing systems. Despite all advantages of HMS, design and implementat...

The aim of the study was to investigate wound healing and scar formation in rabbit corneal lamellar wounds repaired with simple interrupted sutures (SIS) or horizontal mattress sutures (HMS). Two parallel 'I'-shaped lamellar cornea wounds were created in one eye of 40 white New Zealand rabbits, while 5 uninjured rabbits were sacrificed to serve as normal controls. One side of the wounds, in the...

We characterized rabbit antisera to synthetic human calcitonin that specifically recognize the aminoand carboxy-terminal regions of calcitonin (antisera 1-506 and HMS-385, respectively), by both classical (parallelism of dose-response curves) and (owing to the unavailability of a variety of analog fragments of human calcitonin) biochemical plus enzymic alteration of synthetic human calcitonin. ...

Abstract Hydrological modeling is important to provide relevant hydrologic information from limited data. In this study, Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) was used simulate the rainfall–runoff relationship for Dabus subbasin of Blue Nile Basin. Daily precipitation and stream flow data 2002 2019 were as key input model, together with soil land use/land cover data, a digital elevation model st...

The Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) represent a pragmatic solution to model and design modern production processes intended to be flexible in terms of to the volume and the diversity of the resulting consumer goods and adaptable to the availability of the processing resources. In order to increase the efficiency of HMS, the communication aspects like interoperability and reliability inside ...

Building accurate occupancy maps is crucial for autonomous vehicles to make path planning safer. Hilbert maps (HMs) are used for building such occupancy maps in a continuous fashion from depth sensors such as LiDAR in static environments. However, HMs are highly dependent on coefficients of the regularization term of the objective function which needs to be tuned heuristically. In this paper, w...

Using the VORTEX v. 10. 5.0.0, population viability analysis (PVA) was performed for Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) in highest density section between Hukou and Meilong (HMS) of River. Baseline model showed that this a relatively vulnerability state; deterministic growth rate (Det-r) −0.0230; stochastic (Stoch-r) −0.0385; probability extinction (PE) 0.5690; mean siz...
