Vanishing white matter disease (VWM) is a progressive cavitating disease of central white matter due to a deficiency of the translation initiation factor eIF2B. Oligodendrocytes appear to be numerically increased in some white matter areas, while decreased in others. We compared oligodendrocytes of cerebral, cerebellar, and pontine white matter from 5 VWM patients with those of age-matched cont...

In this paper, a home network message specification for white goods based on power line communication is proposed. It is designed for white goods such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. The proposed home network message specification is composed of a virtual device service and a devicespecific attribute. For practical implementation, an application software and two types...

Our objectives were to evaluate general and specific combining ability (SCA) genetic divergence among tropical maize inbred lines using single sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Thirteen crossed based on a complete diallel scheme. Hybrids three checks evaluated in lattice experimental design. Silk anthesis flowering, average plant height, ear white spot (Pantoea ananatis) gray leaf (Cercospora zeae...

The importance of lameness in primiparous dairy heifers is increasingly recognised. Although it is accepted that clinical lameness in any lactation increases the risk of future lameness, the impact of foot lesions during the first lactation on long-term lameness risk is less clear. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impacts of foot lesions occurring around the time of firs...
