Studies on paleopathological alterations in fossil vertebrates, including damages caused by infections and ectoparasites, are important because they are potential sources of paleoecological information.Analyzing exoskeleton material (isolated osteoderms, carapace and caudal tube fragments) from fossil cingulates of the Brazilian Quaternary Megafaun
CMT: a constrained multi-level thresholding approach for ChIP-Seq data analysis.
Genome-wide profiling of DNA-binding proteins using ChIP-Seq has emerged as an alternative to ChIP-chip methods.ChIP-Seq technology offers many advantages over ChIP-chip arrays, including but not limited to less noise, higher resolution, and more coverage.Several algorithms have been developed to take advantage of these abilities and find enriched
Residue localization and risk for aspiration in partial laryngectomy: the relevance of assertive therapeutic strategies and resources
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the correlation between the residues, their anatomical location and the presence of laryngotracheal penetration and aspiration in patients after supracricoid laryngectomy undergoing cricohyoidoepiglotopexy reconstruction.Methods: This study included 70 patients treated by supracricoid laryngectomy with Poly-Fil / Stu
Spectral characterization of forest plantations with Landsat 8/OLI images for forest planning and management
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of Landsat 8/OLI images to differentiate the age and estimate the total volume of Pinus elliottii, in order to determine the applicability of these data in the planning and management of forest activity.Fifty-three sampling units were Slippers and Slipper Socks installed, and dendrometric
