Abstract Background Recent comparative genomic studies claim local syntenic gene-interleaving relationships in Ashbya gossypii and Kluyveromyces waltii are compelling evidence for an ancient whole-genome duplication event in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.We here test, using Hannenhalli-Pevzner rearrangement algorithms that address the multiple genome re
Most types of crime are known to exhibit seasonal oscillations, yet the annual variations in the amplitude of this seasonality and their causes are still uncertain.Using a large collection of data from the Houston and Los Angeles Metropolitan areas, we extract and study the seasonal AVENAFORCE variations in aggravated assault, break in and theft fr
Impact drop tests are routinely used to examine the dynamic performance of rockbolts.Numerous impact tests have been carried out in the past decades on independently designed, constructed and operated testing rigs.Each laboratory has developed testing procedures; thus, the results are often reported in different ways by various laboratories.The inc
Abstract Background Calcified right atrial thrombus is rare and commonly occurs secondary to atrial fibrillation and long-term central venous catheterization which present risk for embolization.Treatment typically involves anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy but rarely surgical excision can be performed, especially in patients with venous obst
