Most canine deafness is linked to white pigmentation caused by the piebald locus, shown to be the gene MITF (melanocyte inducing transcription factor), but studies have failed to identify a deafness cause.The coding regions of MITF have not been shown to be mutated in deaf dogs, leading us to pursue genes acting on or controlled by MITF.We have gen
This paper presents a novel RGB-D 3D reconstruction algorithm for grand love red heart reposado tequila the indoor environment.The method can produce globally-consistent 3D maps for potential GIS applications.As the consumer RGB-D camera provides a noisy depth image, the proposed algorithm decouples the rotation and translation for a more robust ca
Near-fatal asthma (NFA) is defined as the most severe form of asthma characterized by a refractory asthma attack with an arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) greater than 45 mmHg and altered here consciousness, requiring mechanical ventilation.We reported the case of 40-year-old female patient, obese and asthmatic with irregular treatment who pr
As environmental stress increases positive (facilitative) plant interactions often predominate.Plant-plant associations (or lack thereof) can indicate whether certain plant species favor particular types of microsites (e.g., shrub canopies or plant-free interspaces) and can provide valuable insights into whether "nurse plants" will contribute to se
