Management of social-ecological systems takes place amidst complex governance processes and cross-scale institutional arrangements that are mediated through politics of scale.Each management scenario generates distinct cross-scale trade-offs in the distribution of pluralistic values.This study explores the hypothesis that conservation-oriented mana
Abstract Background Despite intensive research over the last several decades on prostate cancer, many questions particularly those concerning early diagnosis and the choice of optimal treatment for each individual patient, still remain unanswered.The goal of treating patients with localized prostate cancer is a curative one and includes minimizing
In the last two decades, arid and semi-arid regions of China suffered rapid changes in Blood Pressure Monitoring the Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) due to increasing demand on food, resulting from growing population.In the process of this study, we established the land use/cover classification in addition to remote sensing characteristics.This was do
Abstract Background The strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) recently found in genic or exonic Toddler Toys regions of the human genome demonstrated that LD can be increased by evolutionary mechanisms that select for functionally important loci.This suggests that LD might be stronger in regions conserved among species than in non-conserved regions, s
Previous studies have shown that metabolomics can be a useful tool to better understand the mechanisms of carcinogenesis; however, alterations in biochemical pathways that lead to bladder cancer (BC) development have hitherto not been fully investigated.In this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics was applied to un
