Abstract As the data managed by applications has evolved over the years with the arrival of Web 2.0, a large number of new databases have been developed to manage various types of data. While the traditional relational databases continue to exist, NoSQL databases which are document oriented or key-value stores or columnar continue to evolve and are embraced very rapidly across the industry. It is not just the type of data handled by these databases that is different but also the query language they use is also different. This paper talks about a uniform query framework More >

Abstract The cutter head will be stuck when the shield machine pass through the area existing anchor left by foundation construction of surrounding high-rise building. Subsurface excavation method is an efficient way to remove the existed anchor. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to study stability of cross-channel excavation. The time-spatial effects of arch crown settlement, intrados uplift and side wall horizontal convergence are analyzed according to different excavation size, lining thickness and lining order. The results show that the excavation size is the main factor to control the deformation of the More >

Abstract The involucral bracts (IB or phyllaries) of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) capitulum constitute an example of photosynthesizing organs that contribute to the photosynthesis budget during the generation of crop yield. The anatomy of IB was analyzed in two domesticated primitive sunflower genotypes, Havasupai and Hopi, in the sunflower line HA89B, in the wild Helianthus annuus ssp. annuus, in the sunflower male-fertile line R013 and in the commercial hybrid DKOP3845. Stomata and trichomes were counted on the adaxial and abaxial epidermis. In all cases, the IB showed a one-layered adaxial and abaxial epidermis, secretory ducts and parenchymatic cells… More >

Abstract Bemisia tabaci (Gennaadius) biotype B is one of the most important pests due to the number of hosts and economic losses it produces. Its control is based on the application of chemicals, which has led to resistance problems. However, the host may also influence the induction of resistance to pesticides. Therefore, the present study evaluated the susceptibility of populations of B. tabaci biotype B developed indifferent hosts to three insecticides belonging to different toxicological groups. Bemisia tabaci biotype B populations were collected and reared in six different hosts (three crops and three associated weeds: Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum… More >

Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a series of significant physiology roles in higher plants including but not limited to promote bud and seed dormancy, accelerate foliage fall, induce stomatal closure, inhibit growth and enhance resistance. Recently, it has been revealed that ABA also has an important regulator role in the growth, development and ripening of fruit. In higher plants ABA is produced from an indirect pathway from the cleavage products of carotenoids. The accumulation of endogenous ABA levels in plants is a dynamic balance controlled by the processes of biosynthesis and catabolism, through the regulation of… More >

Abstract The aim of the present work was to analyze the foliar anatomy in lamina transverse section an in epidermis superficial view of Mnesithea selloana. Epidermic preparations and transections were carried out of the medium leaf part of sterile innovations that were conditioned and observed with optic microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).The histofoliar characteristics observed were: epidermic, intercostal, subsidiary, suberose, silicea and bulliform cells; and also guard cells, hairs, waxes, mesophylls, Kranz sheath, vascular bundles, sclerenchyma, colourless parenchyma and leaf margin. Epidermic observations showed that M. selloana presents a panicoid type epidermis presenting silicic cells as More >

Abstract Fourteen native strains of Trichoderma spp. from wildand agricultural pathosystems in the state of Yucatan, Mexico, with growth-promoting ability of Capsicum chinense Jacq. seedlings were evaluated and antagonistic effect of their filtrate against second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne incognita. The strains Th05-02 and Th27-08 showed the best significant effects on plant hight variable increments 55.57 and 47.62%, theTh07-04 with 29.48% more root length, theTh02-01 and Th07-04 isolates increased from 48.71 to 84.61% in volume radical and 53.40% of total dry biomass. Statistical analysis (p≤0.001) of Th43 and Th43-13-14 filtrates caused 100% mortality at 24 and 48h. In More >

Abstract instruction: Introduction: Rapid progress has recently been made in understanding the biology of advanced prostate cancer. This has translated into the development of a number of novel agents to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
instruction: Materials and methods: The relevant literature was retrieved from a search of MEDLINE with appropriate keywords.
instruction: Results: Therapeutic approaches to mCRPC include chemotherapy, hormonal manipulation, immunotherapy and radioisotope therapy. Docetaxel and cabazitaxel are cytotoxic agents which have demonstrated a modest impact on survival. Hormonal manipulation with abiraterone and enzalutamide have also been reported to be beneficial in mCRPC. The radioisotope radium-223 More >

Abstract instruction: Introduction: Chemotherapy, once thought to be toxic and ineffective in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), has a significant impact on survival and quality-of-life in these patients. This article summarizes recent studies performed with two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved agents which have improved survival in men with CRPC, docetaxel and cabazitaxel.
instruction: Materials and methods: The literature on cytotoxic chemotherapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer was reviewed. The individual efficacy, mechanisms of chemotherapeutic action, and appropriate disease states of administration were identified. Recent clinical trial results of chemotherapy combined with targeted agents was also reviewed.
instruction:… More >

Abstract instruction: Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the lynchpin of treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Prescribing physicians and patients have a choice between orchiectomy, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, combined androgen deprivation (CAD) or LHRH antagonists.
instruction: Materials and methods: Literature relating to the use of LHRH antagonists in the management of prostate cancer was reviewed.
instruction: Results: Abarelix was the first-in-class LHRH pure antagonist that was Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in 2003. Due to a variety of concerns including hypersensitivity reactions it was withdrawn from the United States (U.S.) market in 2005. The only currently… More >
