Array CGH defined interstitial deletion on chromosome 14: a new case

2009

Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 14 are relatively rare. We report a 8.5-year-old girl with dysmorphic facial features and mental retardation associated with a de novo interstitial deletion of chromosome 14. The comparison between our patient and all published patients is reviewed. The genetic investigations have allowed us to define the critical chromosomal region and to start an accurate follow-up.

Monitoring barley and corn growth from remote sensing data at field scale

2004

Vegetation indices have been used for operational quantitative monitoring of vegetation. Here, corn and barley cultures have been used to relate meaningful biophysical parameters such as dry biomass and Crop Growth Rate (CGR) to the well-established Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). We explain these relationships by means of the use of the Light Use Efficiency (LUE) models, based on the positive relation between primary production and Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (APAR). In these models we introduce NDVI as a linear estimator of f APAR. Experimental data over corn and barley show that dry biomass is linearly related to the Time-Integrated Value of the NDVI (TIND…

Global Scale IB AMSR2 Vegetation Optical Depth at X-Band

2021

Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) plays an increasingly important role in studying global carbon, water and energy transformation [1], [2]. This study explores the performance of the X-MEB (X-band microwave emission of the biosphere) model at global scale. Similar to the L-MEB model, the X-MEB model, built by INRAE (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement) Bordeaux, aims to retrieve VOD (referred to as IB X-VOD) at X-band. To avoid the ill-posed problem caused by retrieving two parameters of interest (soil moisture (SM) and VOD) from mono-angular and dual-polarized observations (AMSR2), which are strongly correlated, we used the ERA5 SM product as a…

On the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás type theorems

2017

This dissertation is devoted to the study of the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property in different contexts. In Chapter 1 we give a historical resume and the motivation behind this property as the classics Bishop-Phelps and Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás theorems. We define the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBp) and we comment on some important current results. In Chapter 2 we study similar properties to the BPBp. First, we define the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás point property (BPBpp). The BPBpp is stronger than the BPBp. We study it for bounded linear operators and then for bilinear mappings. After that, we study two more similar properties: properties 1 and 2. Property 2 is just the dual property of th…

The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem for L(L1(μ),L∞[0,1])

AbstractWe show that the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem holds for all bounded operators from L1(μ) into L∞[0,1], where μ is a σ-finite measure.

Small omphalocele with umbilical evagination of the bladder: a distinct entity?

2006

A neonatal case of umbilical evagination of the bladder combined with a small omphalocele is presented. This rare congenital malformation has previously been described in only three cases. Umbilical evagination can be understood as a disturbance of development of both the vitelline and allantoic ducts, resulting in a non-descended but otherwise normal bladder opening to the inferior margin of a small omphalocele. Diagnosis is made by clinical inspection and ultrasound. Since other malformations are not present, this entity may be regarded as a minor form of a lower midline defect with excellent prognosis.

Human stem cells from single blastomeres reveal pathways of embryonic or trophoblast fate specification.

2015

Mechanisms of initial cell fate decisions differ among species. To gain insights into lineage allocation in humans, we derived ten human embryonic stem cell lines (designated UCSFB1-10) from single blastomeres of four 8-cell embryos and one 12-cell embryo from a single couple. Compared with numerous conventional lines from blastocysts, they had unique gene expression and DNA methylation patterns that were, in part, indicative of trophoblast competence. At a transcriptional level, UCSFB lines from different embryos were often more closely related than those from the same embryo. As predicted by the transcriptomic data, immunolocalization of EOMES, T brachyury, GDF15 and active β-catenin reve…
