Determination of mRNA expression of DMRT93B, vitellogenin, and cuticle 12 in Daphnia magna and their biomarker potential for endocrine disruption
We explored the use of molecular genetic biomarkers for endocrine disruption in Daphnia magna after the exposure to fenoxycarb (FOC), a model juvenile hormone analog. For this purpose, the mRNA expression pattern...

Open AccessWireless sensor network localization with connectivity-based refinement using mass spring and Kalman filtering
Since many range-free localization algorithms depend on only a few anchors and implicit range estimations, they produce poor results. In this article, we propose a distributed range-free algorithm to improve l...

Narrowing and Lengthening Genioplasty with Pedicled Bone Graft in Contouring of the Short and Wide Lower Face
A short and wide lower face is perceived as unattractive and masculine. Simply contouring the mandibular body and angle is insufficient to make the lower face with short and wide features slimmer and more femi...
