Meiosis involves deep changes in the spatial organisation and interactions of chromosomes enabling the two primary functions of this process: increasing genetic diversity and reducing ploidy level.These two functions are ensured by crucial events such as homologous chromosomal pairing, synapsis, recombination Floor Lamps and segregation.In most sex
A potentially novel overlapping gene in the genomes of Israeli acute paralysis virus and its relatives
Abstract The Israeli acute Cupcake Toppers paralysis virus (IAPV) is a honeybee-infecting virus that was found to be associated with colony collapse disorder.The IAPV genome contains two genes encoding a structural and a nonstructural polyprotein.We applied a recently developed method for the estimation of selection in overlapping genes to detect p
A Hybrid Approach to Reduce Cone-Beam Artifacts for a Circular Orbit Cone-Beam CT System
In a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) system, the Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) algorithm produces cone-beam artifacts due to insufficient object sampling in the missing cone region of frequency space.While total variation minimization-based iterative reconstruction (TV-IR) may reduce cone-beam artifacts by filling in the missing cone region,
Frequency ofRisk Factors Associated with Road Traffic Accidents of Motorbike in a Big City of a Developing Country
Objective: To determine the frequency of risk factors associated with road traffic accidents of motorbike in Karachi, Pakistan.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the two tertiary care hospitals (Civil Hospital andJinnah Postgraduate Medical Center) of Karachi, Pakistan.All male motorbike accident victims presented to th
Influence of Novel Microcapsulates of Bee Products on Gut Microbiota Modulation and Their Prebiotic and Pro-Adhesive Properties
With the aim to obtain controlled-release systems and to preserve the antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and prebiotic activity of the bioactive compounds, microencapsulation of both honeydew honey and royal jelly into biopolymeric microparticles based on rye bran heteropolysaccharides (HPS) was successfully performed.Honeydew honey and royal jelly mic
