Integrative prescreening in analysis of multiple cancer genomic studies
Abstract Background In high throughput cancer genomic studies, results from the analysis of single datasets often suffer from a lack of reproducibility because of small sample sizes.Integrative analysis can effectively pool and analyze multiple datasets and provides a cost Art by Room effective way to improve reproducibility.In integrative analysis
Agmatine for Pain Management in Dogs With Coxofemoral Joint Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Study
Background: Pain from coxofemoral joint (CFJ) osteoarthritis (OA) characteristic of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) afflicts many dogs.Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common CFJ OA comorbidity.Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administration is standard for treatment of pain door seal from degenerative joint disease.Potential side
Optimal Selection of Rotor Bar Number for Minimizing Torque and Current Pulsations Due to Rotor Slot Harmonics in Three-Phase Cage Induction Motors
The paper develops a method to choose the number of rotor bars in order to eliminate rotor slot harmonics in stator current spectrum and pulsation torques that are their consequence.Mains-fed, three-phase cage induction motors with the most common number of pole pairs and number of stator slots, that result in integer slot winding, are analyzed.The
Aberrant phenotypes of transgenic mice expressing dimeric human erythropoietin
Abstract Background Dimeric human erythropoietin (dHuEPO) peptides are reported to exhibit significantly higher biological activity than the monomeric form of recombinant EPO.The objective of this study was to produce transgenic (tg) mice expressing dHuEPO and to investigate the characteristics of these mice.Methods A dHuEPO-expressing vector under
