Sequence tagged site (STS) markers are valuable tools for genetic and physical mapping that can be successfully used in comparative analyses among related species. Current challenges for molecular markers genotyping in plants include the lack of fast, sensitive and inexpensive methods suitable for sequence variant detection. In contrast, high resolution melting (HRM) is a simple and high-throug...

Although often cast by realists as an exemplar of moralist or rationalist thinking, Jürgen Habermas and certain commentators on his work reject this characterisation, highlighting elements thought that conflict with it. This article will examine dimensions Habermas’s relate to many realist concerns in political theory. I argue while he escapes the commonplace caricature abstract thinker who is ...

This has occurred despite apparent broad-based public rejection of Europe’s Nazi past. is puzzle, since there are affinities between the old and new far right. article addresses that puzzle. Theoretically, distinguishes broad narrow interpretations what it means to rej...

can be obtained using the so-called “reject” option. Namely, the patterns that are the most likely to be misclassified are rejected (i.e., they are not classified); they are then handled by more sophisticated procedures (e.g., a manual classification is performed). However, handling high reject rates is usually too time-consuming for application purposes. Therefore, a trade-off between error an...

Credit scoring models are normally built using only applicants who have been previously accepted for credit. Such non-random sample selection may produce bias in estimated model parameters and accordingly model predictions of repayment performance may not be optimal. Previous empirical research suggests that omission of rejected applicants has a detrimental impact on model estimation and predic...

ellis-van creveld syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by a short stature, short limbs, short ribs, postaxial polydactyly, dysplastic nails, multiple frenula, and congenital heart defects.  we describe a 22-year-old boy with a short stature, short limbs, short distal extremities, small teeth, short upper lip bound by frenula to the alveolar ridge, multipl...
