Biotic resistance, the process by which new colonists are excluded from a community by predation from and/or competition with resident species, can prevent or limit species invasions.We examined whether biotic resistance by native predators on Caribbean coral reefs has influenced the invasion success of red lionfishes (Pterois volitans and Pterois
Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women.Systemic disease with metastatic spread to distant sites such as the liver reduces the survival rate considerably.The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in gene expression that occur on invasion and expansion of CRC cells w
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers and Internal Model Controllers (IMC) are effective tools in control analysis and design.However, parameter tuning, and inaccurate model representation often lead to unsatisfactory closed loop performance.In this study, we analyse the effect of PID controllers and IMCs tuned with Genetic Algorithm (
The international initiatives developed in the context of combating global warming are based on the monitoring of Land Use, Land Use Changes, and Forests (LULUCEF).Determination of changes in land use patterns is used to determine the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and to Cyclist Accessories - Gloves reduce adverse effects in subsequent proces
BackgroundMany clinical trials investigating treatment efficacy require an interim analysis.Recently we have been running a large, multisite, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial investigating the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment for improving or stabilizing the cognition of patients dia
