The esterase-based insecticide resistance mechanisms characterised to date predominantly involve elevation of activity through gene amplification allowing increased levels of insecticide sequestration, or point mutations within the esterase structural genes which change their substrate specificity. The amplified esterases are subject to various types of gene regulation in different insect speci...

Mating systems can vary among species and populations and thus influence evolutionary trajectories, ecological traits, and population demography. The siring of offspring by an extrapair male, or extrapair paternity (EPP), is a widespread and varied phenomenon in all vertebrate classes. However, we do not understand all of the factors associated with variation in EPP rates. The breeding synchron...

soil salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. preparation of such maps is useful for natural resource managers. old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. this investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

the behcet disease (bd) is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. evidences suggest that at least some of the clinical aspect of the bd may be due to autoimmune responses, these includes elevated levels of immunoglobulins (igs) and immune complexes. to clarify the molecular basis of the changes in the level of different classes of igs in bd, we have detected the amount of igg, igm...

Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is crucial to normal reproductive function and abnormalities in pulse frequency give rise to reproductive dysfunction. Kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), neuropeptides secreted by the same neuronal population in the ventral hypothalamus, have emerged recently as critical central regulators of GnRH and thus gonadotropin secretion. Patients with mut...

This study examined sports anxiety and coping skills in high school students from the Davao del Sur Division using online survey questionnaires for 101 participants who are three major public schools Sur. To address hypotheses, correlation analysis Pearson's product-moment correlation, mean, linear regression was used. Sports Anxiety among athletes is moderate; results also showed that athletes...

Digital elevation data is often affected by errors due to excessive interpolation or to interferometric artifacts. The local analysis of the DEM roughness allows both the detection of these errors and the segmentation of the elevation data for a better understanding of the existing geological structures. This analysis can be performed by means of fractal dimension estimators. We compare several...
