Implementation Of A Ground Truth Process For Development Of A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (Sav) Mapping Protocol Using Hyperspectral Imagery, Carlton R. Hall, Charles R. Bostater, Robert W. Virnstein Sep 2006

Implementation Of A Ground Truth Process For Development Of A Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (Sav) Mapping Protocol Using Hyperspectral Imagery, Carlton R. Hall, Charles R. Bostater, Robert W. Virnstein

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Protocol development for science based mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) requires comprehensive ground truth data describing the full range of variability observed in the target. The Indian River Lagoon, Florida, extends along 250 km of the east central Florida coast adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. The lagoon crosses the transition zone between the Caribbean and Carolinian zoogeographic provinces making it highly diverse. For large scale mapping and management of SAV four common and three uncommon species of seagrass (Tracheophyta) and three broad groups of macroalgae; red algae (Rhodophyta), green algae (Chlorophyta), and brown algae (Phaeophyta) are recognized. Based on …

VT-PCR is capable of rapid DNA amplification and real-time optical detection. The device rapidly cycles six 20 μl 96 bp λ-DNA samples between the PCR stages (denaturation, annealing, and elongation) for 30 cycles in approximately 6 min. Two-dimensional numerical simulations have been carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT v.6.2.16. Experiments and CFD simulations have been carried out to measure/predict the temperature variation between the samples and within each sample. Heat transfer rate …


A Spectroscopic Study On The Level Of Serum Selenium In Northern Baghdad Subject, Ahsan.K.Abbas Sep 2006

A Spectroscopic Study On The Level Of Serum Selenium In Northern Baghdad Subject, Ahsan.K.Abbas

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: This work is performed to measure the concentration of serum selenium in northern Baghdad subject. Selenium is one of the trace element that plays an important role in physiological functions of human body. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Selenium levels of blood serum were measured using furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer. RESULTS : The results obtained in this work showed a decrease in selenium level and the reduction is proportional to the duration of age. This can be explained principally due to the type of diet and malabsorption young subject may differ in certain diet intake.

The Role Of Garlic Extract On The Effect Of Organic Pesticides On Murine Liver Cells, Khalid Hamdan Gathwn

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACK GROUND: Organic phosphorus pesticides are most widely preferred pesticides, and know to have detrimental effect on various living organisms. METHODS: Twenty four male Balb/c mice were used. These were divided into four group (1,2,3,4) . Chlorpyriphos was given orally on alternate days by garage (20mg/kg body weight), aqueous garlic alone was given orally daily by garage (200mg/kg body weight, while garlic extract followed by chlorphriphos was also given. RESULTS: Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was measured in liver homogenate . The extent of LPO was significantly increased in animals treated with pesticide while non-significant result were obtained with garlic extract …

Immunological Study Of Febrile Fever: Serum Sialic Acid, Immunoglobulin Levels (Iga, Igg And Igm), Complement Factors (C3 And C4) In Patients With Typhoid Fever And Brucellosis, Ghassan Mohammad Sulaiman Sep 2006

Immunological Study Of Febrile Fever: Serum Sialic Acid, Immunoglobulin Levels (Iga, Igg And Igm), Complement Factors (C3 And C4) In Patients With Typhoid Fever And Brucellosis, Ghassan Mohammad Sulaiman

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever and brucellosis are frequent causes of bloodstream infections in many countries. The diagnosis of these infections is challenging because they can have diverse clinical manifestations with symptoms that overlap with a wide spectrum of other diseases. However, neither Widal nor Rose-Bengal agglutination assays are sufficiently sensitive, specific, or practical in areas of endemicity .In this study, it was undertaken to determine the sensitivity and specificity of clinical application of sialic acid in the evaluation of humoral immune response in patients with typhoid fever and brucellosis. Furthermore, the role of sialic acid (SA) was investigated as a …

Pancreatic Fistula Following Surgery Of Primary Pancreatic Hydatid Cyst Causing Pancreatitis, Ghassan A .A .Nasir

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Primary pancreatic hydatid cyst is rarely encountered and difficult to differentiate from pancreatic cystic neoplasm. THE AIM: Of this case report is to discus the mode of presentation and best management of this condition. CASE REPORT: A twenty-eight years old male, presented with recurrent upper abdominal pain of three years duration. The pain was radiating to the back and associated with vomiting and low-grade fever.

Sequence-Specific Recognition And Cooperative Dimerization Of N-Terminal Aromatic Peptides In Aqueous Solution By A Synthetic Host, Lisa M. Heitmann, Alexander B. Taylor, P John Hart, Adam R. Urbach Sep 2006

Sequence-Specific Recognition And Cooperative Dimerization Of N-Terminal Aromatic Peptides In Aqueous Solution By A Synthetic Host, Lisa M. Heitmann, Alexander B. Taylor, P John Hart, Adam R. Urbach

Chemistry Faculty Research

This article describes the selective recognition and noncovalent dimerization of N-terminal aromatic peptides in aqueous solution by the synthetic host compound, cucurbit[8]uril (Q8). Q8 is known to bind two aromatic guests simultaneously and, in the presence of methyl viologen, to recognize N-terminal tryptophan over internal and C-terminal sequence isomers. Here, the binding of Q8 to aromatic peptides in the absence of methyl viologen was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), 1H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The peptides studied were of sequence X-Gly-Gly, Gly-X-Gly, and Gly-Gly-X (X = Trp, Phe, Tyr, and His). Q8 selectively binds and dimerizes Trp-Gly-Gly …

Biologic Interaction And Their Identification, Tyler J. Vanderweele, James Robins Sep 2006

Biologic Interaction And Their Identification, Tyler J. Vanderweele, James Robins

COBRA Preprint Series

The definitions of a biologic interaction and causal interdependence are reconsidered in light of a sufficient-component cause framework. Various conditions and statistical tests are derived for the presence of biologic interactions. The conditions derived are sufficient but not necessary for the presence of a biologic interaction. Through a series of examples it is made evident that in the context of monotonic effects, but not in general, the conditions which are derived are closely related but not identical to effect modification on the risk difference scale.


A Theory Of Sufficient Cause Interactions, Tyler J. Vanderweele, James M. Robins Sep 2006

A Theory Of Sufficient Cause Interactions, Tyler J. Vanderweele, James M. Robins

COBRA Preprint Series

Sufficient-component causes are discussed within the potential outcome framework so as to formalize notions of sufficient causes, synergism and sufficient cause interactions. Doing so allows for the derivation of counterfactual conditions and statistical tests for detecting the presence of sufficient cause interactions. Under the assumption of monotonic effects, more powerful statistical tests for sufficient cause interactions can be derived. The statistical tests derived for sufficient cause interactions are compared with and contrasted to interaction terms in standard statistical models.
