"Etude etiologique de la circulation ra.pide iutra-rena-le"  Le but de l'angiographle renale n'est pas '.seu­lement le controle anatomique de l'organe, une etude physiologique (Hemodynamique) doit toujours etre prise en consideration.  Le temps normal de la circulation intra-renale selon les differents auteurs varie entre 6 a 8, 8 a 10 et 10 a 12 secondes, mais le temps moyen est de 6 a 8 seco...

Motivation: SBML is becoming a standard ‘de-facto’ to represent and store biological models. Although SBML is very useful in defining ways of exchanging and storing biological information, it is not formal enough to allow direct translation into non ambiguous formal representation languages to perform analysis and simulation of models. We here suggest to map SBML models into process calculi rep...

background: here we describe a new case of partial distal 10q trisomy in a 6-year-old iranian girl from healthy parents with mental, growth, and psychomotor retardations. methods: additional clinical features include dysmorphic craniofacial features, microcephaly, bilateral hydronephrosis without heart problems, small and rotated low-set ears, bow-shaped mouth, abnormal teeth, short neck, and a...

MOTIVATION De novo assembly of a eukaryotic genome with next-generation sequencing data is still a challenging task. Over the past few years several assemblers have been developed, often suitable for one specific type of sequencing data. The number of known genomes is expanding rapidly, therefore it becomes possible to use multiple reference genomes for assembly projects. We introduce an assemb...

MOTIVATION Permutation testing is very popular for analyzing microarray data to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes; estimating false discovery rates (FDRs) is a very popular way to address the inherent multiple testing problem. However, combining these approaches may be problematic when sample sizes are unequal. RESULTS With unbalanced data, permutation tests may not be suitable bec...
