Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Polymorphism of Bovine Pituitary-Specific Transcription Factor and Leptin Gene Between Iranian Bos indicus and Bos taurus CattleArash Javanmard, Nader Asadzadeh, Fatollah SarhadiProblem statement: Variations at DNA level contribute to the genetic characterization of livestock populations and this may help to identify possible hybridization events as well as past evolutionary trends. Approach: The leptin and Pit-1 are attractive candidate genes for production and reproduction traits in cattle. A total of 247 Animals from four breeds from two species of Iranian cattle populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,024 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhat is Xenohormesis?Joseph A. Baur, David A. SinclairPolyphenols such as resveratrol and quercetin, which are produced by stressed plants, activate sirtuin enzymes and extend the lifespan of fungi and animals, ostensibly by mimicking the beneficial effects of caloric restriction. This observation raises an interesting question: Why should foreign molecules that are non-nutritive and seemingly unrelated to any endogenous molecule modulate the same biochemical pathways that mediate the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 10,386 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rough Set based Gene Expression Clustering AlgorithmJ. Jeba Emilyn, K. RamarProblem statement: Microarray technology helps in monitoring the expression levels of thousands of genes across collections of related samples. Approach: The main goal in the analysis of large and heterogeneous gene expression datasets was to identify groups of genes that get expressed in a set of experimental conditions. Results: Several clustering techniques have been proposed for identifying gene signatures and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,830 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasure of Departure from Average Cumulative Symmetry for Square Contingency Tables with Ordered CategoriesKouta Miyazawa, Sadao Tomizawa, Kouji TahataProblem statement: For square contingency tables with ordered categories, we are interested in considering a structure of weak symmetry when Bowker's symmetry model does not hold and in measuring the degree of departure from weak symmetry. Approach: The present study considered the average cumulative symmetry model that has a weaker restriction than the structure of symmetry. It also gave a … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,621 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of DNA Polymorphism at the Apolipoprotein B-100 Gene Locus with Plasma Lipid Concentration and Coronary Artery Disease among North IndiansVivek Pratap Singh, V. Ramesh, Sonal Somvanshi et al.The aim of this study was to investigate the association between apolipoprotein B gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease and lipid levels in north Indians. Two hundred patients of angiographically proven atherosclerotic CAD and two hundred age and sex matched control subjects were included in the study. Serum lipids including cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and ApoB were analyzed. PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,892 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInformation Contents of Short Selling Restriction and Stock Lending and Borrowing TransactionsYoungsik Kwak, Yeongsuk ChoThis study focuses on the distinctive incident in which Stock Lending and Borrowing (SLB) transaction and short selling grew continuously even during the wavering period of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) in the Korea Exchange (KRX) market. The authors analyze the information contents of SLB and short selling on KOSPI financial stocks. The financial stocks were freed from … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Oct 2017 · 7,980 accessesView PDF Cite
