A-tree: Distributed indexing of multidimensional data for cloud computing environments
(2011)Efficient querying of huge volumes of multidimensional data stored in cloud computing systems has become a necessity, due to the widespread of cloud storage facilities. With clouds getting larger and available data growing ... -
Abbott curves characteristics of turned surfaces
(2003)Evaluation and modelling of bearing curves and bearing ratio parameters are of great importance in surface characterization and tribological functioning of engineering surfaces. The present investigation is focused upon ... -
Abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernia as manifestations of a connective tissue disorder
(2011)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and abdominal wall hernias represent chronic degenerative conditions. Both aortic aneurysms and inguinal hernias share common epidemiologic features, and several investigators ... -
Abdominal setae and midgut bacteria of the mudshrimp Pestarella tyrrhena
(2009)We investigated the diversity of the bacterial 16S rRNA genes occurring on the abdominal setal tufts and in the emptied midgut of the marine mudshrimp Pestarella tyrrhena (Decapoda: Thalassinidea). There were no dominant ... -
Aberrant methylation of c-myc and c-fos protooncogenes and p53 tumor suppressor gene in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia
(2003)Purpose: Aberrant methylation, as an epigenetic phenomenon, may precede and regulate the expression of genes involved in transformation mechanisms that lead to leukemogenesis of hemopoietic cells. The genes involved mostly ... -
Abiotic and biotic factors affect efficacy of chlorfenapyr for control of stored-product insect pests
(2011)Laboratory bioassays were conducted to assess pyrole chlorfenapyr as a potential grain protectant against adults of Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, Prostephanus truncatus, Tribolium confusum, and Liposcelis ... -
Abiotic factors and autumn migration phenology of Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola Linnaeus, 1758, Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) in a Mediterranean area
(2013)This research examines the relationship of abiotic factors to the autumn number increase of Eurasian woodcocks in a wintering area. Data on the number of woodcocks spotted per day using dogs for 12 years in an area of ... -
Abiotic factors and insect abundance

ABNORMAL EXPRESSION OF C3ORF9 GENE IN PATIENTS WITH MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES
(2009)Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) cells present genetic instability and dysregulation of the gene C3ORF9, which was isolated from an MDS cDNA library and codes for a putative protein. We studied the expression of C3ORF9 in ... -
Abnormal serum concentrations of proteins in Parkinson's disease
(2009)Blood serum was used to identify protein biomarkers for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) using analytically validated quantitative 2D-gel electrophoresis, and single variable and multivariate statistics. Using banked ... -
Abortion in ewes associated with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
(2006)We describe the features of an outbreak of ovine abortions caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a flock of sheep in Greece. Abortion occurred in 3.5% of ewes in the flock; the foetuses were well developed and had ... -
Absence of aprataxin gene mutations in a Greek cohort with sporadic early onset ataxia and normal GAA triplets in frataxin gene
(2010)Phenotype of patients with the aprataxin gene mutation varies and according to previous studies, screening of aprataxin gene could be useful, once frataxin gene mutation is excluded in patients with normal GAA expansion ... -
Absence of blood pressure, metabolic, and inflammatory marker changes after adenotonsillectomy for sleep apnea in Greek children
(2008)Aim: Pediatric studies revealed associations of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure. Evidence about effects of adenotonsillectomy on these ... -
Absence of leptin expression and secretion by human luteinized granulosa cells
(2003)Whether leptin is secreted by the human ovary is not known. The available data on leptin gene (ob gene) expression by human granulosa cells are conflicting. The aim of the present study was first to re-examine the expression ... -
Absence of linkage to chromosomes 6q and 16p in a Greek population with knee osteoarthritis
(2006)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related debilitating disease of the joints characterized by degeneration of the articular cartilage which leads to joint pain, discomfort, and immobility. Several risk factors have been ...
