papillon-lefevre syndrome (pls) is a very rare genetic syndrome, and fewer than 500 cases have been reported in the world. patients exhibit typical cutaneous involvement with hyperkeratosis, especially on the soles and palms, and early shedding of primary teeth. internal organ involvements, such as liver abscesses, have been described in case reports. this  communication  represents  the  first...

Corridors are frequently proposed to connect patches of habitat that have become isolated due to human-mediated alterations to the landscape. While it is understood that corridors can facilitate dispersal between patches, it remains unknown whether corridors can mitigate the negative genetic effects for entire communities modified by habitat fragmentation. These negative genetic effects, which ...

Abstract How can dancers control or influence variables such as lighting, music, projections the overall spatial experience that affect traditional hierarchy in a performative setting? The dance performance Digital Footprints uses advanced technologies allow to test this question live situation. In article, choreographer discusses some preliminary conclusions.

We analyze existing discourses surrounding blockchains’ energy consumption and look at the actors actions involved. also provide an evaluation of various considerations factors that affect blockchain networks’ resulting environmental impacts.

We study the Minimum-Length Corridor (MLC) problem. Given a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectilinear polygons, the objective is to find a corridor of least total length. A corridor is a set of line segments each of which must lie along the line segments that form the rectangular boundary and/or the boundary of the rectilinear polygons. The corridor is a tree, and must include at least ...

Establishing habitat corridors has been an important strategy in many conservation practices. Nonetheless, the existing literature has ignored the role habitat corridors could play in reserve network design. Based on modern ecological theory, the effectiveness of a reserve system largely depends on its connectivity, but it is less clear how recent spatial modeling of reserve network design impr...

Ribosome profiling suggests that ribosomes occupy many regions of the transcriptome thought to be noncoding, including 5' UTRs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Apparent ribosome footprints outside of protein-coding regions raise the possibility of artifacts unrelated to translation, particularly when they occupy multiple, overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). Here, we show hallmarks of tran...
