| exclusion of the dysplastic nevus syndrome (dns) locus from the short arm of chromosome 1 by linkage studies in dutch families. | familial dysplastic nevus syndrome (dns) is an autosomal dominant premalignant condition characterized by multiple large moles of variable size and color and a strongly increased risk for cutaneous malignant melanoma. in order to determine the chromosomal localization of the dns gene, linkage studies were initiated in six large dutch families. no support was obtained for linkage between the loci for dns and the rhesus blood group on chromosome 1. data from additional markers (dnf15s1, d1z2, fuca ... | 1989 | 2504660 |
| detection of rickettsia felis and rickettsia typhi and seasonal prevalence of fleas collected from small mammals at gyeonggi province in the republic of korea. | abstract fleas were collected from live-captured small mammals to identify flea-borne pathogens, host associations, and seasonal prevalence of flea species, as part of the 65th medical brigade rodent-borne disease surveillance program at 20 military installations and training sites, gyeonggi province, republic of korea, 2005-2007. a total of 1251 fleas were recovered from 2833 small mammals. apodemus agrarius, the striped field mouse, accounted for 93.1% (2,637/2,833) of all small mammals captur ... | 2011 | 21612536 |
| bilateral projections from the medial superior olivary nucleus to the inferior colliculus in the mole (mogera robusta). | a retrograde tracing study in the mole using wheat germ-agglutinated horseradish peroxidase (wga-hrp) indicated that the medial superior olivary nucleus (mso) projects to the inferior colliculus (ic) bilaterally. considering the strict ipsilateral projections from the mso to the ic in all other eutherian species ever reported, the bilateral projection in the mole is quite unique. this may reflect specializations of the peripheral auditory apparatus of the underground dwellers and/or primitivenes ... | 1988 | 2461789 |
| a review of fur-mites of the genus dubininetta fain & lukoschus, 1978 (acariformes: listrophoridae), ectoparasites of moles (soricomorpha: talpidae). | the fur mite genus dubininetta fain & lukoschus, 1978 (acariformes: listrophoridae) represented by ectoparasites of moles (soricomorpha: talpidae) is revised. an amended diagnosis of this genus is provided. two new species are described from moles in vietnam: dubininetta euroscaptor n. sp. from euroscaptor parvidens (miller) and dubininetta abramovi n. sp. from euroscaptor subanura kawada, son & can. the insufficiently described d. taiwanensis (fain & lukoschus, 1978) from mogera insularis (swin ... | 2017 | 28585103 |
| short interspersed elements (sines) from insectivores. two classes of mammalian sines distinguished by a-rich tail structure. | four trna-related sine families were isolated from the genome of the shrew sorex araneus (sor element), mole mogera robusta (tal element), and hedgehog mesechinus dauuricus (eri-1 and eri-2 elements). each of these sines families is specific for a single insectivora family: sor, for soricidae (shrews); tal, for talpidae (moles and desmans); eri-1 and eri-2, for erinaceidae (hedgehogs). there is a long polypyrimidine region (tc-motif) in tal, eri-1, and eri-2 elements located immediately upstream ... | 2001 | 11668393 |
| overcoming catalyst residue inhibition of the functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes via the billups-birch reduction. | the billups-birch reduction chemistry has been shown to functionalize single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) without damaging the sidewalls, but has challenges in scalability. currently published work uses a large mole ratio of li to carbon atoms in the swcnt (li:c) to account for lithium amide formation, however this increases the cost and hazard of the reaction. we report here the systematic understanding of the effect of various parameters on the extent of functionalization using resonant ra ... | 2017 | 29058877 |
| prevalence and predictors of recent skin examination in a population-based twin cohort. | the incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide. guidelines for clinical skin exam for improving early diagnosis of melanoma remain inconsistent, and current data on factors associated with regular skin screening on a population basis are limited. | 2015 | 25994738 |
| communication: unusual structure and transport in ionic liquid-hexane mixtures. | ionic liquids having a sufficiently amphiphilic cation can dissolve large volume fractions of alkanes, leading to mixtures with intriguing properties on molecular length scales. the trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation paired with the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide anion provides an ionic liquid that can dissolve large mole fractions of hexane. we present experimental results on mixtures of n-c6d14 with this ionic liquid. high-energy x-ray scattering studies reveal a persistence of the char ... | 2015 | 25833557 |
| individual risk of cutaneous melanoma in new zealand: developing a clinical prediction aid. | new zealand and australia have the highest melanoma incidence rates worldwide. in new zealand, both the incidence and thickness have been increasing. clinical decisions require accurate risk prediction but a simple list of genetic, phenotypic and behavioural risk factors is inadequate to estimate individual risk as the risk factors for melanoma have complex interactions. in order to offer tailored clinical management strategies, we developed a new zealand prediction model to estimate individual ... | 2014 | 24884419 |
| why is the partial molar volume of co2 so small when dissolved in a room temperature ionic liquid? structure and dynamics of co2 dissolved in [bmim+] [pf6(-)]. | when supercritical co2 is dissolved in an ionic liquid, its partial molar volume is much smaller than that observed in most other solvents. in this article we explore in atomistic detail and explain in an intuitive way the peculiar volumetric behavior experimentally observed when supercritical co2 is dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim+] [pf6(-)]). we also provide physical insight into the structure and dynamics occurring across the boundary of the co2 ionic liqui ... | 2005 | 16351115 |
