TWO NEW LOCI FOR BODY-WEIGHT REGULATION IDENTIFIED IN A JOINT ANALYSIS OF GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES FOR EARLY-ONSET EXTREME OBESITY IN FRENCH AND GERMAN STUDY GROUPS.

Meta-analyses of population-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in adults have recently led to the detection of new genetic loci for obesity.Here we aimed to discover additional obesity loci in extremely obese children and adolescents.We also investigated if these results generalize by estimating the effects of these obesity loci in adults

An ionosonde network consisting of a meridional chain and an LCD/LED Display Panels equatorial pair was established in the Southeast Asian area.Three of four ionosondes are along the magnetic meridian of 100° E; two are close to the magnetic conjugate points in Northern Thailand and West Sumatra, Indonesia, and the other is near the magnetic eq

Accurate transmission of genomic information across multiple cell divisions and generations, without any losses or errors, is fundamental to all living organisms.To achieve this goal, eukaryotes devised chromosomes.Eukaryotic genomes are represented by multiple linear chromosomes in the nucleus, each carrying a centromere in the middle, a telomere

Wireless technology is envisioned to be a major enabler of flexible industrial deployments, allowing agile installations and mobility of production elements.However, for industrial IoT (IIoT) use-cases, reliability and service availability remain as key concerns for wide adoption.To enhance wireless link reliability, we propose Heels in this paper

Studies to evaluate environmental impacts have become both a need and a Storage Table requirement of environmental agencies due to great alteration of the native environments provoked by man.Many of these studies are short-termed, but reporting the acquired data is very important in order to increase knowledge about specific biotic groups.Thus, thi
