The freshwater angel fish (Pterophyllum scalare Schultze, 1823) is South American cichlid become very popular among aquarists. There is little information on their culture and aquarium husbandry. In this study growth performance and survival rate of angelfish subjected to different feeding frequencies were evaluated. Four groups of angel fish juveniles (0.87 ± 0.01 g; 3.98 ± 0.08 mm) were fed e...

In the paper, we give illustrated reviews, new approaches and results of how rcps –problems are being solved with Hybrid algorithm’s. Firstly, considering Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA), Vicente a et al 2007, introducing many changes in Genetic algorithm (GA) paradigm, resulting in HGA giving fast and high quality algorithms out performing state-of-the-art-algorithm (SOTAA). for rcps-problem. S...

conclusions the peripheral arterial disease is more frequent in patients with the severe form of cvi, than in patients without cvi. concomitant risk factors for cvi and pad were high bmi and hypertension. in each patient with severe cvi it is necessary to determine the abpi, in order to exclude the presence of pad. results our results showed that the risk factors for cvi were high body mass ind...

Mycobacteriophages BPs, Angel and Halo are closely related viruses isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis, and possess the smallest known mycobacteriophage genomes, 41,901 bp, 42,289 bp and 41,441 bp, respectively. Comparative genome analysis reveals a novel class of ultra-small mobile genetic elements; BPs and Halo each contain an insertion of the proposed mobile elements MPME1 and MPME2, respe...

BACKGROUND Lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with decreased functional status, diminished quality of life, amputation, myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Nevertheless, public knowledge of PAD as a morbid and mortal disease has not been previously assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a cross-sectional, population-based telephone survey of a nationally...

BACKGROUND We compared the incidence of depression, defined by a Geriatric Depression Score (GDS) ≥6, between people with versus without peripheral artery disease (PAD). We determined whether depressive symptoms were associated with increased mortality in people with and without PAD. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine hundred and fifty-one PAD patients and 478 non-PAD patients were recruited from Chica...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in a large population-based sample of twins. METHODS AND RESULTS The understanding of genetics in PAD is still limited. From the Swedish Twin Registry and the national patient discharge registry, 1464 twins with PAD were identified, including 33 monozygotic (MZ) a...

BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diabetes is known to increase the risk of PAD two- to four-fold. The prevalence of PAD in Korean diabetic patients has not been established. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of PAD in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes atte...
