Of the 1.1 million Alu retroposons in the human genome, about 10,000 are inserted in the 3' untranslated regions (UTR) of protein-coding genes and 1% of these (107 events) are active as polyadenylation sites (PASs). Strikingly, although Alu's in 3' UTR are indifferently inserted in the forward or reverse direction, 99% of polyadenylation-active Alu sequences are forward oriented. Consensus Alu+...

Our study aimed to quantify the effect of the Measurement Uncertainty function on planar dosimetry pass rates, as measured and analyzed with the Sun Nuclear Corporation MapCHECK 2 array and its associated software. This optional function is toggled in the program preferences of the software (though turned on by default upon installation), and automatically increases the dose difference toleranc...

Abstract We develop a novel measure of volatility pass-through to assess international propagation output shocks macroeconomic aggregates, equity prices, and currencies. An increase in country's is associated with decrease its output, consumption, net exports. The average consumption 50% (a 1% increases by 0.5%) it 70% for originating smaller countries. larger the order 90%. A channel risk shar...
