Frankia genus-specific characterization by polymerase chain reaction

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an in vitro procedure for primer-directed enzymatic amplification of specific template nucleic acid sequences. In order to determine wheth...

Discriminative learning in sequential pattern recognition

In this article, we studied the objective functions of MMI, MCE, and MPE/MWE for discriminative learning in sequential pattern recognition. We presented an approach that unifies...

The primordial helium abundance from updated emissivities

Observations of metal-poor extragalactic H II regions allow the determination of the primordial helium abundance, Y_p. The He I emissivities are the foundation of the model of t...

SG06, a fully continuous and varved sediment core from Lake Suigetsu, Japan: stratigraphy and potential for improving the radiocarbon calibration model and understanding of late Quaternary climate changes

Scientific Journals and Their Authors’ Financial Interests: A Pilot Study

<b>Background:</b> The credibility of modern science is grounded on the perception of the objectivity of its scientists, but that credibility can be undermined by fi...

Display of 3-D Digital Images: Computational Foundations and Medical Applications

These new approaches to 3-D medical imaging promise better and more cost-effective object identification, representation, and manipulation in space and time.

An International MDS/MPN Working Group's perspective and recommendations on molecular pathogenesis, diagnosis and clinical characterization of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms

In the 2008 WHO classification, chronic myeloid malignancies that share both myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features define the myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative group,...

RatImage - research Assistance Toolbox for Computer-Aided Human Behavior Experiments

This paper reports on RatImage, a toolbox specifically developed to simplify the programming of software used in computerized human behavior experiments. RatImage contains Borla...

Improving quality in general practice: qualitative case study of barriers faced by health authorities

The health authorities faced significant barriers that would impede their ability to fulfil their responsibilities in the new NHS and that would reduce their capacity to contrib...

Simulations of a Protein Crystal with a High Resolution X-ray Structure: Evaluation of Force Fields and Water Models

We use classical molecular dynamics and 16 combinations of force fields and water models to simulate a protein crystal observed by room-temperature X-ray diffraction. The high r...
