BackgroundThe transcription factor Tcfap2c has been demonstrated to be essential for various processes during mammalian development.It has been found to be upregulated in various undifferentiated tumors and is implicated with poor prognosis.Tcfap2c is reported to impinge on cellular proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.However, the physiolo
Lennukilidari ja spektraalse kaugseireandmestiku kasutamine metsa peamiste takseertunnuste hindamiseks Aegviidu katsealal / Estimation of main forest inventory variables from spectral and airborne lidar data in Aegviidu test site, Estonia
Field measurements from 450 sample plots, airborne lidar data and spectral images from Aegviidu, Estonia, 15 by 15 km test site were used to analyse options to estimate main forest inventory variables using remote sensing data.Up to 7 m random error in location of 15 m radius sample plots within homogeneous stands causes usually about 0.5 m standar
Immune checkpoint inhibitors as the second-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a cost-effectiveness analysis based on network meta-analysis
Abstract Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated superior clinical efficacy in prolonging overall survival (OS) as the second-line treatment for advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and were recommended by the guidelines.However, it remains uncertain which ICI is the most cost-effective.This stu
Horizontal seed dispersal by dung beetles reduced seed and seedling clumping, but did not increase short-term seedling establishment.
Dung beetles are secondary seed dispersers, incidentally moving many of the seeds defecated by mammals vertically (seed burial) and/or horizontally as they process and relocate dung.Although several studies have quantified this ecological function of dung beetles, very few have followed seed fate until seedling establishment, and most of these have
