Bves was discovered in 1999 by two independent laboratories using screens to identify novel genes that were highly expressed in the developing heart (Reese et al., 1999; Andree et al., 2000). As an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein, Bves is postulated to play a role in cell adhesion and cell motility. In studies of Bves protein disruption, there have been multiple phenotypes, but f...

A large number of models that are employed in the field of concurrent systems’ design, such as Petri nets, Signal Transition Graphs, gate-level circuits, dataflow structures have an underlying static graph structure. Their semantics, however, is defined using additional entities, e.g. tokens or node/arc states, which collectively form the overall state of the system. We jointly refer to such fo...

In Korean culture, the names of family members are recorded in special family books. This makes it possible to follow the distribution of Korean family names far back in history. It is shown here that these name distributions are well described by a simple null model, the random group formation (RGF) model. This model makes it possible to predict how the name distributions change and these pred...

NANCY W. DICKEY, MD A bit more than a decade ago, the country was bombarded by a series of headlines announcing tragic medical errors that caused pain, increased costs, and even death to the patients involved. As president of the American Medical Association (AMA), I was asked repeatedly about how Bthe best health care system in the world[ could allow mistakes like the ones being reported to oc...

Results: California Adventists have higher life expectancies at the age of 30 years than other white Californians by 7.28 years (95% confidence interval, 6.59-7.97 years) in men and by 4.42 years (95% confidence interval, 3.96-4.88 years) in women, giving them perhaps the highest life expectancy of any formally described population. Commonly observed combinations of diet, exercise, body mass in...

The year of 2014 is the the 10-th year since I joined the Computer Vision Group of ANU/NICTA; it also marks the 10th year that I have entred (and been working in) the field of comptuer vision, thanks to my academic supervisor Professor Hartley who introduced me to this research field. In 2004, Richard suggested me to attend the ECCV-2004, desipite that I did not have any paper in the conference...

During the past 50 years, the turbidite paradigm has promoted many myths related to deep-water turbidite deposition. John E. Sanders (1926–1999), a pioneering process sedimentologist, first uncovered many of these turbidite myths. This paper provides a reality check by undoing 10 of these turbidite myths. Myth No. 1: turbidity currents are non-turbulent flows with multiple sediment-support mech...

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

oligohydramnios is frequently used to identify at risk fetuses. the purpose of this study was to assess adverse perinatal outcomes in oligohydramnios. subjects comprised pregnant women diagnosed either with (590) or without (597) oligohydramnios who delivered after hospital admittance from 2000 to 2010 . data, including the resuscitation of newborn, apgar score at 5 min, nicu admission, death i...
