Recently, software defect prediction is an important research topic in the software engineering field. The accurate prediction of defect prone software modules can help the software testing effort, reduce costs, and improve the software testing process by focusing on fault-prone module. Software defect data sets have an imbalanced nature with very few defective modules compared to defect-free o...

BACKGROUND Most non-chromosomal congenital heart defects are thought to be caused by the interaction of genetic factors involving multiple genes and environmental factors. Families that have several affected members have been reported, however, which suggests that a single autosomal dominant or recessive gene may cause the cardiac defects. A family in which atrioventricular septal defect seemed...

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) has been shown to effect biochemical and morphologic changes in the small lymphocytes of normal human peripheral blood.1' 2 The percentage of morphologic transformation of small lymphocytes to blastlike cells on exposure to PHA is reduced in a variety of conditions associated with abnormalities of the lymphoid system, such as Hodgkin's disease, sarcoidosis, and chronic ...

Glucose 6-phoshphate dehydrogenase is X-chromosome linked that expressed in all tissues. This is the first enzyme of pentose phosphate pathway were 5-carbon sugar Ribose and NADPH were synthesized by coupled oxidation /reduction reactions and this enzyme is a highly polymorphic enzyme in humans. G6PD deficiency are shown to be the cause of haemolytic effect of Fava beans and primaquine. It soon...

Background The immotile short tail sperm (ISTS) defect is one of the disorders that cause male infertility. Men with this condition have immotile short-tail sperm with structural defects in the fibrous sheath(FS). A Kinase Anchoring Protein 4 (AKAP4) is one of the most abundant proteins in the fibrous sheathof sperm flagella and provides scaffold for the correct assembly of FS.Since exon 6 of A...

In the present research, molecular detection of bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) and complex vertebral malformation (CVM)in a population of Iranian Holstein cows has been carried outusing milk somatic cells by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). The BLAD and CVM are monogenic and autosomal recessive heredity lethal syndrome in Holstein-Friesi...
