supported by a visual analog scale (VAS), and the role of pharmacological agents in …

The present study examines the outcomes of rectal cancer patients undergoing surgery. We
also wanted to examine factors affecting surgeon decision-making with regard to the type of …

Networks that are simple connection networks, such as telephone exchanges or the Internet,
are able to grow in an unconstrained way. In contrast, regulatory networks—such as those …

Networks exhibiting “accelerating” growth have total link numbers growing faster than
linearly with network size and either reach a limit or exhibit graduated transitions from …

Eukaryotic phenotypic diversity arises from multitasking of a core proteome of limited size.
Multitasking is routine in computers, as well as in other sophisticated information systems, and …

Many growing networks possess accelerating statistics where the number of links added
with each new node is an increasing function of network size so the total number of links …

ADCC can be essential for anti-viral immunity and supports many tumor immunotherapies. It
is a challenge to quantify and one wants a fast assay that uses few lymphocytes when …

Stable carbon isotope ratios from the latewood cellulose of 12 trees from two sites in
northern Finland are used to construct an isotope chronology covering AD 1640 to 2002. By …

Tree-ring stable carbon isotope ratios (δ 13 C) often display a decline over the industrial
period (post-AD1850) that is only partly explained by changes in the isotopic ratio of carbon …
