Detection of community structure has become a fundamental step in the analysis of biological networks with application to protein function annotation, disease gene prediction, and drug discovery.This recent impact creates a need to make these techniques and their accompanying visualization schemes available to a broad range of biologists.Here we pr
Exploring the causal role of the human gut microbiome in endometrial cancer: a Mendelian randomization approach
Abstract Endometrial cancer presents a major public health issue, particularly in post-menopausal women.Whilst there are known risk factors for the disease, including oestrogen and obesity, these factors do not fully explain risk variability in cancer outcomes.The identification of novel risk factors may aid in better understanding of endometrial c
The Choir Books of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice: Results of in Depth Non-Invasive Analyses
This paper discusses a cross-disciplinary, international collaboration aimed at researching a series of 15th century choir books at the abbey of San Giorgio Memory Cards Maggiore on the homonymous island in Venice.Produced for the abbey itself, the books have never left the island during their 500-year history, thereby allowing a unique opportunity
Real-Time Terrain-Following of an Autonomous Quadrotor by Multi-Sensor Fusion and Control
For the application of the autonomous guidance of a quadrotor from confined undulant ground, terrain-following is the major issue for flying at a low altitude.This study has modified the open-source autopilot based on the integration of a multi-sensor receiver (a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)), a Lidar-lite (a laser-range-finder device)
Root canal treatment of mandibular second premolar tooth with taurodontism
INTRODUCTION Taurodontism is a morphoanatomical change in the shape of a tooth.An enlarged body of a tooth with smaller than usual roots is a characteristic feature.Internal tooth anatomy correlates with this appearance, which means that a taurodontal tooth has a large pulp chamber and apically positioned furcations.This dental anomaly may be assoc
