BACKGROUND A new lung adenocarcinoma classification proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) has recently been published. This study aimed to investigate the utility of the new histological classification for identifying the prognostic subtypes of adenocarcinomas in stage IB patients.Corre...

background and objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the significance of multiple-mutations in the katg gene, predominant nucleotide changes and its correlation with high level of resistance to isoniazid in mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates that were randomly collected from sputa of 42 patients with primary and secondary active pulmonary tuberculosis from different geographic r...

Currently all the axiom systems for probability representation include the assumption that the ordering of events is total. However, empirical systems exist for which this condition is too strong. In particular, there may exist events A l , A2 in an algebra A for which the ordering is not connected; i.e., it is not possible to judge with complete confidence whether Al $A A2 or One approach to d...

Acipenser stellatus is one of the most invaluable species of Sturgeon fishes in the world. The purpose of this study was to identify the resident microbial community from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of Acipenser stellatus. One hundred and twenty three fungi were isolated from the GIT of 7 Acipenser stellatus samples including Aspergillus spp (45.5%), Trichoderma spp (8.9%) and Cladophialop...

The influence of melatonin receptor 1A gene on litter size was studied in 150 ewes from Zel (n=100) and Naeini (n=50) sheep breeds. Two restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses were done to determine all genotypes occurring by variations at MnlI and RsaI restriction sites. The M and C were the most frequent alleles in both of these breeds. The MM genotype was predominant in Zel ...

This paper describes a computationally efficient method for estimating the predominant pitch in audio recordings. The proposed method is intended for building a contentbased indexing and retrieval system that can search in a audio database using the melody line of a complex input audio sample. Available pitch estimation methods are effective primarily when dealing with recordings of human voice...

There are very few results in the literature on spectral content of seismic ground displacement; nonetheless, these singular as most is limited to a narrow low frequency band, contrary acceleration. These characterizations have been obtained, expectedly, by means power or Fourier analyses displacement records, only. As records not reliable acceleration existence clear predominant warrants confi...
