Genetic diversity analysis and core collection construction of Phyllanthus emblica based on SSR markers by WANG Jianchao, ZHANG Xiaoyan, ZHANG Lijie, LI Tao, XIE Lixue

“…The core collection was constructed based on the sampling ratios of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% and 40%, and the optimal sampling ratio was screened. After the core collection was constructed, the differences of the genetic diversity parameters between the core collection and original collection were analyzed. …”

A 2:1 atrioventricular block in an adult patient with a Fontan circulation: from transesophageal pacing to echocardiographic guidance of epicardial pacemaker lead placement by Jeff M. Smit, Madelien V. Regeer, Adrianus P. Wijnmaalen, Monique R.M. Jongbloed, Mark G. Hazekamp, Anastasia D. Egorova

“…Transthoracic echocardiography was performed postoperatively to assess the effects of sRV pacing on ventricular (dys)synchrony, systolic function and estimated cardiac output. These parameters remained unchanged during sRV pacing, compared to intrinsic conduction, an important finding in light of preserving sRV function. …”

Evaluation and estimation of changes in water quality using zoning map and researchers-developed software (case study: Pir-Bazar river) by Majid Homami, Seyed Ahmad Mirbagheri, Seyed Mehdi Borghei, Madjid Abbaspour

“…In this research, zoning maps were prepared and the status of present and future water quality parameters of the basin were accurately estimated using a researchers software-developed application and the five interpolation methods of Kriging, S-PLUS, polynomial regression, inverse distance to power, and local polynomial; and finally the optimal method was selected through a root-mean-square error (RMSE) based cross validation approach.  …”

Isomeric Differentiation of Four Triterpene Acids Using Full Collision Energy Ramp-MS2 Analysis by Li-juan WU, Rui-ru NAN, Qian WANG, Xin CHEN, Wen-jing LIU, Yue-lin SONG

“…FCER-MS2 spectra were configured by assembling sigmoid- and Gaussian-shaped breakdown graphs of those primary MS2 spectral signals after appropriate data normalization. The parameters, such as collision energy at the half survival rate (CE50) of precursor ions, the optimal collision energy (OCE) of primary fragment ion species and the maximal relative ion intensity (RIImax) were calculated from those regressive equations, and subsequently were applied for isomers differentiation. …”
