Changing Mat Cover The increase in luminosity foreseen in the future years of operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) creates new challenges in computing efficiency for all participating experiment.For Run 3 of the LHC, the LHCb collaboration needs to simulate about two orders of magnitude more Monte Carlo events to exploit the increased lumin
Abstract Background Medicago truncatula is a model legume whose genome is currently being sequenced by an international consortium.Abiotic stresses such as salt stress limit plant growth and crop productivity, including those of legumes.We anticipate that studies on M.truncatula will shed light on other economically important legumes across the wor
Background:.Malar/zygoma reduction is an effective procedure to change a broader, flatter facial appearance to an oval facial shape.Of the intraoral and coronal approaches, the intraoral Music Box is the more commonly used technique than the coronal, due to the perception that complications with the coronal approach are significant, and intraoral r
Many theoretical and experimental studies suggest that range expansions can have severe consequences for the gene pool of the expanding population.Due to strongly enhanced genetic drift at the advancing frontier, neutral and weakly deleterious mutations can reach large frequencies in the newly colonized regions, as if they were surfing the front of
Abstract Background Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to be associated with lung function.Recent findings showed that DNA methylation (DNAm) variation is likely to be a consequence of changes in BMI.However, whether DNAm mediates the association of BMI with lung function is unknown.We examined the mediating role of DNAm on the association of pre
