Landauer’s principle says that, in principle, a computation can be performed without consumption of work, provided no information is erased during the computational process. This principle can be introduced into endoreversible models of thermodynamics.Evaluation of the population density in many ecological and biological problems requires a…[Read more]

The lesions show a benign clinical course with rare recurrences but no malignant transformation.

Most mesothelial cysts are peritoneal and rarely pericardial. Peritoneal cysts differ from pericardial cysts. Peritoneal solitary lesions differ from multiple lesions, also suggesting their pathogenetic differences.

Most mesothelial cysts…[Read more]

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that acts as a component of first-line defense system against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Copper/Zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) is one of the isoforms of SOD enzyme and is sensitive to the exposure of different environmental factors, in different species and tissues. Caiman latirostris…[Read more]

71 [95% CI; 1.27 – 2.31], 1.14 [95% CI; 1.0 – 1.30] and 1.39 [95% CI; 1.23 – 1.57], respectively. Low to moderate level of between-study heterogeneity was noted. The association between pre-pregnancy BMI and perinatal anxiety symptoms remain uncertain.

Pre-pregnancy obesity was associated with an increased risk of maternal depressive…[Read more]

The persistence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) under the aerobic vs. anaerobic conditions is unknown, especially under different fertilization. Towards this goal, a microcosm experiment was carried out with chemical fertilized and manured soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. High throughput qPCR was used to analyze ARGs with 144…[Read more]

We explored the nasal microbiota in Indigenous Australian children in relation to ear and nasal health.

In total, 103 Indigenous Australian children aged 2-7 years (mean 4.7 years) were recruited from 2 Queensland communities. ODQ Children’s ears, nose, and throats were examined and upper respiratory tract…[Read more]

The output from pyrolysis has a different composition than traditional fossil-based hydrocarbon streams, and therefore, must be evaluated to correctly process as feedstock. The authors have previously shown that gas chromatography coupled to vacuum ultraviolet detection (GC-VUV) provides accurate identification and quantification of the…[Read more]

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is gaining popularity as healthy food due to its nutritional and phytochemical properties. This study reports nutritional and phytochemical profile of ten finger millet genotypes. SKF38393 datasheet Proximate analysis of finger millet genotypes revealed moisture, total carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber and ash…[Read more]

Adult Fibrosarcoma (FS) is very rare and it constitutes approximately 1% of adult sarcomas. It is a malignant or intermediate (rarely metastasizing) tumor, composed of fibroblasts with variable collagen production. Fibrosarcomas usually involve the deep tissues of the extremities, trunk, head and neck. Adult FS usually appears in the fourth to…[Read more]

Regenerative techniques are increasingly applied in endodontic surgery, but different materials used in regenerative techniques may have varying impacts on wound healing.

This study evaluated the effects of different regenerative techniques and materials on the outcome of endodontic surgery.
