The role of common fragile sites (CFSs) in cancer remains controversial.Two main views dominate the discussion: one suggests that CFS loci are hotspots of genomic instability leading to inactivation of genes encoded within them, while the other view proposes that CFSs are functional units and that loss of the encoded genes confers selective pressur
This paper explores in parallel the underlying mechanisms in human perception of biological motion and the best approaches for automatic classification of gait.The experiments tested three different learning paradigms, namely, biological, biomimetic, and non-biomimetic models for gender identification from human gait.Psychophysical experiments with
Wood borer species of the families Euplatypodidae and Scolytidae were observed attacking trees of Pinus sp.in the Municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in March 2000.This plantation had been previously burned in an accidental fire in NAILCARE January 2000, causing the trees to become partially or totally unhealthy
