We sequenced exon 2 of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DRB3 gene from 471 individuals in four different Japanese populations of cattle (201 Japanese Black, 101 Holstein, 100 Japanese Shorthorn, and 69 Jersey cattle) using a new method for sequence-based typing (SBT). We identified the 34 previously reported alleles and four novel alleles. These alleles were 80.0-100.0% ident...

Matematické modelovanie lomových bodov v poklesových kotlinách V príspevku je prezentovaná teória matematického modelovania polynomiálnych lomových bodov pri analýze deformačných charakteristík poklesových kotlín. Teória určovania lomových bodov bola vyvinutá ako súčasť kinematických analýz horninového masívu dobývacieho ložiskového poľa magnezitu vo východoslovenskom regióne. Teoretické poznat...

Existing conceptual frameworks and commercially available technology could be considered to rapidly operationalize the use of Quality Measures (QM) within military health systems (Costantino et al. 2020). Purchased healthcare as well digital services have paved way for data collection from multiple information thus offering stakeholders actionable intelligence both guide measure outcomes. Howev...

m seu texto de 1916, intitulado “Sobre a linguagem em geral e sobre a linguagem humana”, Walter Benjamin expõe uma compreensão de linguagem que vai além da fala e da escrita. Ele expõe a teoria de uma linguagem geral, que atinge também aos seres da natureza e aos objetos, a todos os seres animados e inanimados. Dentro desta compreensão, tudo possui uma linguagem. Tudo se apresenta em uma forma,...

PURPOSE To establish our institutional guideline for IMRT delivery, we statistically evaluated the results of dosimetry quality assurance (DQA) measurements and derived local confidence limits using the concept confidence limit of |mean|+1.96σ. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2006 to March 2009, 206 patients with head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, or brain tumor were treated...

Lately there has been increasing interest regarding the practice of traditional healers and their use of indigenous plants to treat illnesses. Twenty-three local healers (n'ganga) in Chiawa, rural Zambia, were interviewed about knowledge, practices, and their use of indigenous plants in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) among male clients. They were also asked...

Mikrovlnné žiarenie frekvencie 2,45 GHz bolo použité na vzorkách uhlia z rôznych anglických lokalit, na ich tepelnú predúpravu pred rozpojovaním. Získané údaje poukazujú na vplyv mikrovlnnej tepelnej úpravy na relatívnu meliteľnosť uhlia. Výrazná redukcia ( 20 –40 % ) relatívnej energie mletia bola zaznamenaná už po pomerne krátkom čase pôsobenia mikrovlnného žiarenia (3 –8 min). Vplyv mikrovln...

Eight swine leucocyte antigen (SLA) gene (SLA-1, SLA-2, SLA-3, SLA-6, DRA, DRB1, DQA, DQB1) alleles were identified using sequence-based typing method in three Korean native pigs used for breeding at the National Institute of Animal Science in Korea. Six new alleles in class I genes and three new alleles in class II genes have been identified in this breed and can give valuable information for ...

Nucleic acids are excellent building blocks to enable switchable character in supramolecular polymer materials because of their inherent dynamic character and potential for orthogonal self-assembly. Herein, DNA-grafted squaramide bola-amphiphiles are used in a multicomponent supramolecular polymer system and it is shown that they can be addressed by DNAlabeled gold nanoparticles (5 and 15 nm) t...
