WormGender – Open-Source Software for Automatic Caenorhabditis elegans Sex Ratio Measurement
(2015)
Fast and quantitative analysis of animal phenotypes is one of the major challenges of current biology. Here we report the WormGender open-source software, which is designed for
accurate quantification of sex ratio in ...
A simple model to quantitatively account for periodic outbreaks of the measles in the Dutch Bible Belt
(2015)
In the Netherlands there has been nationwide vaccination against the measles since 1976. However, in small clustered communities of orthodox Protestants there is widespread refusal of the vaccine. After 1976, three large ...
Disseminated superficial porokeratosis involving the groin and genitalia in a 72-year-old immunocompetent man
(2015-09)
The porokeratoses are a group of disorders of
abnormal epidermal keratinization resulting in the
characteristic histologic feature of the cornoid
lamella. Several clinical variants of porokeratosis
exist, which are ...
Recent research on Gulf War illness and other health problems in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War: Effects of toxicant exposures during deployment
(2015)
Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield − the 1991 Gulf War (GW) − are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently ...
Prognostic factor from MR spectroscopy in rat with astrocytic tumour during radiation therapy
(2015-01)
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the tumour volume and metabolic rates of astrocytic tumours using MR spectroscopy (MRS) during radiation therapy (RT).
Methods:
12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley® rats ...
Self-similarity and non-Markovian behavior in traded stock volumes
(2015)
The volume traded daily for 17 stocks is followed over a period of about half a century. We look at
the volume of stocks traded in a certain time interval (day, week, month) and analyze how long that traded
volume keeps ...
Removal of Thin Clouds in Landsat-8 OLI Data with Independent Component Analysis
(2015)
An approach to remove clouds in Landsat-8 operational land imager (OLI) data
was developed with independent component analysis (ICA). Within cloud-covered areas,
histograms were derived to quantify changes of the reflectance ...
Prevalence of coronary heart disease risk factors in physical education students
(2015)
Abstract To establish the prevalence of coronary risk in physical education students, and compare risk between the genders and the years of course. We evaluated 246 physical education students using RISKO questionnaire to ...
MicroRNA profiling in the left atrium in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
(2015)
identifying miRNAs that were significantly associated with non-valvular paroxysmal AF.
Methods: The RNA samples were isolated from healthy controls (n = 5) and patients with atrial fibrillation (n = 8). To
confirm the ...
Casimir Pistons with General Boundary Conditions
(2015)
In this work we analyze the Casimir energy and force for a scalar field endowed with general self-adjoint boundary conditions propagating in a higher dimensional piston configuration. The piston is constructed as a direct ...
