Effective planning and optimized execution of the e-Science workflows in distributed systems, such as the Grid, need predictions of execution times of the workflows.However, predicting the execution times of e-Science workflows in heterogeneous distributed systems is a challenging job due to the complex structure of workflows, variations due to inp

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) surgery can improve knee joint stability; however, altered sensory feedback after reconstruction surgery might affect the movement control which is required by proper multijoint coordination to compensate for the impaired sensorimotor function.The purpose of this study was to determine how interjoin

Abstract Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is mostly caused by homozygous deletions in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene.SMN2, its paralogous gene, is a genetic modifier of the disease phenotype, and its copy number is correlated with SMA severity.The purpose of the study was to investigate the number of copies of the SMN1 and SMN2 gen

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been increasingly recognized in recent years.CSCs from human neural tumors are one of the root causes of metastatic tumor progression, therapeutic resistance and recurrence.However, there is a lack of comprehensive literature that systematically consolidates the biomarkers specific to CSCs in neurological cancers.There

Some peculiarities of using hot-air balloons in testing parachute systems are described in the paper.The main Scarf aim is to reduce expenses while testing parachute systems.Similarity criteria such as Froude number and Newtons number were used to assess the reliability of the results of testing scaled-down models of parachute systems.The issue of
