The aims of this study were to verify if frontal sinuses can uniquely identify individuals belonging to family groups using Cameriere methods and to test if kinship can affect the proportion of erroneous identifications. For this purpose, we compared the proportion of false-positive identifications in a sample of 99 individuals within 20 families with a control sample of 98 other individuals wi...

We review and test twelve different approaches to the detection of finite-time coherent material structures in two-dimensional, temporally aperiodic flows. We consider both mathematical methods and diagnostic scalar fields, comparing their performance on three benchmark examples: the quasiperiodically forced Bickley jet, a two-dimensional turbulence simulation, and an observational wind velocit...

Designer protein modules, which bind specifically to a desired target, have numerous potential applications. One approach to creating such proteins is to construct and screen libraries. Here we present a detailed description of using a split-GFP reassembly assay to screen libraries and identify proteins with novel binding properties. Attractive features of the split-GFP based screen are the abs...

This paper focuses on three Far East cabinets that have ended up in Sweden for various reasons and routes. Some specific characteristics been analysed using scientific methods: sectional microscopy, wood taxonomy, X–ray fluorescence pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, strontium isotope ratio measurement, radiocarbon dating. The results show the contain from species endemic to Japan,...

Background: Coniferous cones are a by-product of forestry and wood logging, used for many possible purposes, e.g., the extraction polyphenols. Objective: The aim present article was comparison antioxidant polyphenol content differently matured 17 selected conifers, either common in Hungary or yet uninvestigated. Methods: Total content, ferric reducing power 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assays ...
