Analysis and avoidance of singularities for local G 1 surface interpolation of Bézier curve network with 4-valent nodes
We propose a local method of constructing piecewise G 1 Bézier patches to span a Bézier curve network with odd- and 4-valent node points. We analyze all possible singular cases of the G ...

Genetic Polymorphisms of OPG, RANK, and ESR1 and Bone Mineral Density in Korean Postmenopausal Women
To evaluate the effects of genetic polymorphisms of OPG, RANK, and ESR1, which regulate osteoclastogenesis, on bone mineral density (BMD), a cross-sectional study was conducted in 650 Korean postmenopausal women....

Drought-inducible—but ABA-independent—thaumatin-like protein from carrot (Daucus carota L.)
Drought treatment induces the accumulation of dcTLP, which is similar in structure to the thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) found in the embryogenic calli, seedlings, and mature plants of carrot (Daucus carota). We ...
