Allele Frequencies at the D2S44, D10S28 and D14S13 Loci in Four Southern African Populations
Polymorphic DNA arising from variations in the number of short tandem repeats accounts for many of the hypervariable regions detected in the human genome (Nakumura et. al., 1987). For this preliminary study we...

Simulation Study of Breast Tissue Hemodynamics During Pressure Perturbation
We simulated the effects of compression of the breast on blood volume and tissue oxygenation. We sought to answer the question: how does the compression during breast examination impact on the circulatory syst...
