Performance evaluation is one of the most important issues in the field of parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs).As a very important class of PKMs, the redundant Shorts PKMs have been studied intensively.However, the performance evaluation of this type of PKMs is still unresolved and a challenging endeavor.In this paper, indices that assimilate mo
Abstract Background The flowering transition which is controlled by a complex and intricate gene regulatory network plays an important role in the reproduction for offspring of plants.It is a challenge to identify the critical transition state as well as the genes that control the transition of flower development.With the emergence of massively par
IGF-1 has been shown to promote proliferation of normal epithelial breast cells, and the IGF pathway has also been linked to mammary carcinogenesis in animal models.We comprehensively examined the Concealers association between common genetic variation in the IGF1, IGFBP1, and IGFBP3 genes in relation to circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels and bre
I hypothesize that the distribution chain guard of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) is affected by multiple, interrelated factors.These factors include, but are not limited to, terrain and snow characteristics as well as predation pressure and habitat.To test this hypothesis, I attributed caribou locations derived from satellite tel
