The photoperiodic sensitivity of soybean (Glycine max L.) is one the limiting factors affecting plant growth and yield. At higher latitudes, early flowering maturity with neutral reaction to photoperiods are required for adaptation plants long-day conditions. Currently, production distribution new varieties soybeans adapted widespread agricultural regions in northern Kazakhstan strong demand. E...

Although DNA of the human papilloma viruses (HPV) can be identified in epithelium of a large proportion of patients with genital squamous lesions, relatively little is known about the extent of the local host immune response to this virus. We analyzed cervical secretions from patients undergoing evaluation because of abnormal Papanicolaou smears (cervi cal biopsy showed nonspecific atypia, flat...

To determine if apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism influences postprandial lipemia and hence can help explain the wide range of lipemic responses to a standardized fat meal observed previously, blood samples were collected from 25 healthy men whose postprandial responses to a standardized fat meal had been measured. Venous blood samples had been obtained before the fat meal (0.73 g fat/kg cont...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess the relation between apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype and serum interleukin (IL)-10 levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic stable angina (CSA). BACKGROUND Genetic variations in the apoE gene affect the risk for coronary artery disease (i.e., carriers of the e4 allele have an increased risk). Increased levels of C-reactive...

Machine learning’s focus on ill-defined problems and highly flexible methods makes it ideally suited for KDD applications. Among the ideas machine learning contributes to KDD are the importance of empirical validation, the impossibility of learning without a priori assumptions, and the utility of limited-search or limited-representation methods. Machine learning provides methods for incorporati...

We have investigated the variability of four hormonal parameters used for the endocrine monitoring of the third trimester of pregnancy (E3, E4, HPL, SP1). We have observed no circadian rhythm of Estriol, Estetrol, HPL, and SP1. The within-a-day and the day-to-day variations are much greater for E4 than for E3 and for HPL than for SP1. The standard deviations were great for the steroids, especia...
