Quantitative analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and its common deletion (CD) are sensitive and early markers for mitochondrial mutations and suffering. However, the use of purified DNA can lead to quantification errors because of variable DNA extraction yields due to the significant differences in size and structure between genomic DNA (gDNA) and mtDNA. ...

Classification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into their respective haplogroups allows the addressing of various anthropologic and forensic issues. Unique to mtDNA is its abundance and non-recombining uni-parental mode of inheritance; consequently, mutations are the only changes observed in the genetic material. These individual mutations are classified into ...
In areas where seismic imaging of the base of salt structures is difficult, seaborne electromagnetic techniques offer complementary as well as independent structural information. Numerical models of 2-D and 3-D salt structures demonstrate the capability of the marine magnetotelluric (MT) technique to map the base of the salt structures with an average depth ...

Since 1970, the Moir� phenomenon has been employed as a method of clinical diagnosis in topographical analyses of the human body. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the main characteristics of the Moir� phenomenon and its use as a topographical method for clinical applications, particularly those related to postural deviations. ...
Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is predominantly inherited maternally. Various mechanisms to avoid the transmission of paternal mtDNA to offspring have been proposed, including the dilution of paternal mtDNA by maternal mtDNA in the zygote. The effectiveness of dilution as a barrier will be determined by the ...
BackgroundFreehand 3D ultrasound is a powerful imaging modality with many potential applications. However, its reliance on add-on position sensors, which can be expensive, obtrusive and difficult to calibrate, is a major drawback. Alternatively, freehand 3D ultrasound can be acquired without a position sensor using image-based techniques. Sensorless reconstructions exhibit good fine scale detail ...

Our ability to perceive visual motion is critically dependent on the human motion complex (hMT+) in the dorsal visual stream. Extensive electrophysiological research in the monkey equivalent of this region has demonstrated how neuronal populations code for properties such as speed and direction, and that neurometric functions relate to psychometric functions within the ...
An adaptive computer-based spatial-filtering velocimeter to measure the surface velocity of a natural debris flow with high accuracy is described that can adjust the filter parameters, specifically, the slit width of the filter, based on the surface-pattern characteristics of the flow. A computer simulation confirms the effectiveness of this technique. The surface velocity of ...
A rapid, specific and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of oxymatrine (OMT) and matrine (MT) in beagle dog plasma. The method was applied to study the pharmacokinetics of OMT and MT after oral administration of OMT, MT and Kushen formula granule (KFG) containing ...
New, simple, rapid and precise reversed phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of diclofenac potassium (DP) and methocarbamol (MT) in ternary mixture with guaifenesin (GF), degradation product of methocarbamol.

The ontogeny of hepatic metallothioneins (Mt) in fetal tissue as related to dietary and hepatic Zn was investigated. Sixty 6-month-old female rats were divided into two groups and given either double-distilled water or water containing 700 )g of Zn per milliliter. Dams from each group were killed on 16, 19, or 21 days of gestation, and maternal and fetal livers were removed. ...
