BACKGROUND: The lung diffusion capacity (DLCO) determined by the single-breath technique greatly helps in the differential diagnosis and classification of severity of common lung diseases. However, widespread use of ...

Conductance-based (CB) models are a class of high dimensional dynamical systems derived from biophysical principles to describe in detail the electrical dynamics of single neurons. Despite the high dimensionality of these ...

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of breeding values (EBVs) predicted using the traditional pedigree based Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (PBLUP) and the single-step genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of single dental implants subjected to immediate function. Twelve patients with edentulous areas in the posterior mandible were included in the study. All received at least ...

In this work an optomechanical system inside a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is studied from the perspective of the weak value amplification effect. The optomechanical system consists of a Fabry-Perot cavity with a moving ...

Rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a big public health problem and the ponA1 gene could be related to this. Our study analyzed three secondary databases of 914 M. tuberculosis genomes, which ...

Polymorphisms in the growth hormone (GH) gene that is associated with the growth rate of farmed fish have been the target of many breeding programmes. The present study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
