for its mountaineering prowess. The very small amount of available genetic information for …

It is essential to detect partial discharge (PD) as a symptom of insulation breakdown in gas-insulated
substations (GIS). However, the accuracy of such measurement is often degraded …

Somatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in exons 19 and 21 have been
found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and are associated with the therapeutic …

Background We set out to describe the fine-scale population structure across the Eastern
region of Nepal. To date there is relatively little known about the genetic structure of the Sherpa …

Background Giant or large aneurysms prevent direct clipping without compromise of the
parent vessels, and any countermeasures should be attempted. Methods We describe an A3-A3 …

The dynamics and surface chemistry of tert-butanethiol (TBT) adsorptive removal over silver-exchanged
Y zeolite (Ag−Y) were studied under ambient conditions. Saturation uptake on …

Background The principal role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the induction of immune
responses to lipopolysaccharides. Previously, mice deficient in the TLR4 gene exhibited up-…

Introduction High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a hypoxia-induced, life-threatening,
high permeability type of edema attributable to pulmonary capillary stress failure. Genome-…
