AN INTERNATIONAL QUIET OCEAN EXPERIMENT

An International Quiet Ocean Experiment

The effect of noise on marine life is one of the big unknowns of current marine science.Considerable evidence exists that the human contribution to ocean noise has increased during the past few decades: human noise has Foam Earpads become the dominant component of marine noise in some regions and noise is directly correlated with the increasing ind

Randomized controlled trial on analgesic effect of pre-operative fascia iliaca compartment block in geriatric patients with hip fracture

Objective While most geriatric patients with hip fracture benefit from definitive operative treatment, pre-operative pain management is often overlooked.Conventional oral analgesics may provide suboptimal pain control, resulting in poor morbidity outcomes.Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) provides a more consistent analgesic effect.This study

Non PCR-amplified Transcripts and AFLP fragments as reduced representations of the quail genome for 454 Titanium sequencing

Abstract Background SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) discovery is now routinely performed using high-throughput sequencing of reduced representation libraries.Our objective was to adapt 454 GS FLX based sequencing methodologies in order to obtain the largest possible dataset from two reduced representations libraries, produced by AFLP (Amplifie

In-gel fluorescence detection by DNA polymerase elongation

Fluorescence-based DNA readouts are increasingly important in biological research, owing to enhanced analytical sensitivity and multiplexing capability.In this study, we characterize an in-gel polymerase elongation process to understand the reaction kinetics and transport limitations, and we evaluate DNA sequence design to develop signal amplificat
