Most patients with hereditary hemochromatosis are homozygous for C282Y in the HFE gene in populations of Celtic origin, but the genetic cause of this disease is unknown in Japan because of its rarity. A 48-year-old Japanese patient was recently diagnosed with idiopathic hemochromatosis. Analysis of the entire coding region of the patient's HFE by RT-PCR showed a heterozygous nucleotide substitu...

Human-like holder plays an important role in identifying actual emotion expressed in text. This paper presents a baseline followed by syntactic approach for capturing emotion holders in the emotional sentences. The emotional verbs collected from WordNet Affect List (WAL) have been used in extracting the holder annotated emotional sentences from VerbNet. The baseline model is developed based on ...

In order to estimate genetic parameters for production traits and reproductive performance, 115 465 records of production traits and 90 942 records of reproductive performance from Iranian Holstein cows that were collected during 1980 to 2004 at Animal Breeding Center of Iran, were used. The estimations were performed using Restricted Maximum Likelihood method (REML) under an animal model by DF...

In a previous work [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 24, 942-956 (2007)] we showed how to design an optimum multispectral system aimed at spectral recovery of skylight. Since high-resolution multispectral images of skylight could be interesting for many scientific disciplines, here we also propose a nonoptimum but much cheaper and faster approach to achieve this goal by using a trichromatic RGB charge-couple...

Population Registry of Lifestyle Diseases (PROLIFE) is a prospective cohort study aimed at the long-term follow-up of the residents of seven contiguous villages in Kerala, India. There were 161 942 subject enrolments as of 1 July 2002. The study was initiated by Health Action by People (HAP), a non-profit public health research organization. Kerala, with a population of 431 million in 2001, has...
