Russia looks for ways to overcome a shortage of physicians.Health workforce policy is focused on training an additional number of physicians.The current efforts have reduced some areas of the shortage but failed to solve the problem due to many factors that reproduce the deficit.A distorted structure of service delivery with weak primary care gener
Characterization of a human cell line stably over-expressing the candidate oncogene, dual specificity phosphatase 12.
Analysis of chromosomal rearrangements within primary tumors has been influential in the identification of novel oncogenes.Identification of the "driver" gene(s) within cancer-derived amplicons is, however, hampered by the fact that most amplicons contain many gene products.Amplification of 1q21-1q23 is strongly associated with liposarcomas and mic
Crop Rotations in California Rice Systems: Assessment of Barriers and Opportunities
Flooded rice soils are unique in terms of maintaining soil fertility and long-term productivity, allowing continuous rice systems to contribute greatly to global food supply.Yet increasing herbicide resistant weed pressure, water scarcity, and other sustainability challenges suggest a need to explore options for cropping system diversification.Howe
Social Shaping of Technological Trajectories of Shinkansen
The Tokaido Shinkansen began operating in 1964 and ran at globally unprecedented speeds of more than 200 kmph.Comparison with the operating speed of aircraft necessitated further improvement of the operating speed of Shinkansen.Nevertheless, there was no improvement until 20 years.During that period, the maximum speed of test cars, the highest tech
Expression of Bioactive Lunasin Peptide in Transgenic Rice Grains for the Application in Functional Food
Lunasin, a bioactive peptide initially isolated from soybean, has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity.Due its great application value, lunasin seems to be a candidate gene in improving the nutritional value of crops.In footjoy weste herren this study, lunasin was inserted into the rice genome to evaluate whether it was feasible
