aim : evaluation of biological characteristics of 13 identified proteins of patients with cirrhotic liver disease is the main aim of this research.   background : in clinical usage, liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis. evaluation and confirmation of liver fibrosis stages and severity of chronic diseases require a precise and noninvasive biomarkers. since the...

All tools in the DAVID Bioinformatics Resources aim to provide functional interpretation of large lists of genes derived from genomic studies. The newly updated DAVID Bioinformatics Resources consists of the DAVID Knowledgebase and five integrated, web-based functional annotation tool suites: the DAVID Gene Functional Classification Tool, the DAVID Functional Annotation Tool, the DAVID Gene ID ...

new advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology are having amajor impact on our understanding of how human spermatozoa acquire their capacity for fertilization. a complete analysis of the proteins found in the human spermatozoa is essential for understanding the events leading up to, and including, fertilization and early embryo development. in this short review, we have collected...

A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic. A literature review usually precedes a research proposal and results section. Its ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and forms the basis for...

UNLABELLED Our current biological knowledge is spread over many independent bioinformatics databases where many different types of gene and protein identifiers are used. The heterogeneous and redundant nature of these identifiers limits data analysis across different bioinformatics resources. It is an even more serious bottleneck of data analysis for larger datasets, such as gene lists derived ...

DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) is a bioinformatics resource developed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at Frederick in conjunction with the Laboratory of Immunopathogenesis and Bioinformatics (LIB), SAIC Frederick. This resource is described as “a graph theory evidence-based method to agglomerate speciesspecific gene/protein i...

Hoerter, Michael E. M.S., Purdue University, May, 2014. Just Noticeable Difference Survey of Computer Generated Imagery Using Normal Maps. Major Professor: David Whittinghill. Normal maps are widely used as a resource-efficient means of simulating detailed topology on 3D surfaces in the gaming, simulation, and film industries. However, as surface mesh density increases, it is unknown at what le...

Like “golden weddings”, there are also “golden papers”: seminal papers which appear to be characterized by their uniqueness in having raised issues which fifty years after they have been written look as relevant as they probably did fifty years ago. Paul David (2003) in reviewing Zvi Griliches contributions to the economics profession, noticed with typical shrewd insight how the numbers of cita...
