The analysis and profiling of short tandem repeat (STR) loci is routinely used in forensic genetics. Current methods to investigate STR loci, including PCR-based standard fragment analyses and capillary electrophoresis, only provide amplicon lengths that are used to estimate the number of STR repeat units. These methods do not allow for the full resolution of STR base composition that sequencin...

The present study investigated processing strategies and matrix effects on the antioxidant capacity (AC) and polyphenols (PP) content of fruit-based beverages: (1) strawberry powder (Str) + dairy, D-Str; (2) Str + water, ND-Str; (3) dairy + no Str, D-NStr. Beverages were subjected to high-temperature-short-time (HTST) and high-pressure processing (HPP). AC and PP were measured before and after ...

We study the chiral interactions of hidden charm $D\bar{D}^*$ system within effective field theory. Chiral Lagrangians are constructed by incorporating symmetry, heavy quark symmetry as well proper charge conjugation properties mesons. The interacting potentials $S$-wave calculated up to second order at 1-loop level, where complete two-pion exchange included. further investigate behaviors in co...

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of swollen to tender joint count ratio (STR) and other baseline characteristics on treatment response to a first course of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS Patients with RA initiating their first course of anti-TNF treatment were included in a structured clinical followup protocol. Based on pragmatic thr...

(s. str.) pinnapes sp. n. (Sichuan), C. (s. str.) elegantissimus sp. n. (Sichuan), C. (s. str.) palpalis sp. n. (Gansu), C. (Fusionodes) corpulentus sp. n. (Sichuan), C. (Fusionodes) gutta sp. n. (Shaanxi) and...

This study was conducted Razakı grape variety (Vitis vinifera L.) and its vine which was aged 19 was grown on 5 BB rootstock in a vegetation period of 2014 in Afyon province in Turkey. In this research, it was investigated whether the applications of Control (C), 1/3 Cluster Tip Reduction (1/3 CTR), Shoot Tip Reduction (STR), 1/3 CTR + STR, Boric Acid (BA), 1/3 CTR + BA, STR + BA, 1/3 CTR + STR...

The species belonging to the genus Ptomaphagus Hellwig, 1795 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae, Ptomaphagini) from eastern Asia are assigned to three species groups. Group yasutoshii has a single species: P. (s. str.) yasutoshii Nishikawa, 1993 from Taiwan, China. Group nepalensis with three species: P. (s. str.) nepalensis Perreau, 1988 from Nepal and P. (s. str.) masumotoi Nishikawa, 2011 fr...
