Published: December 2006

Allelic frequencies of eight autosomal short-tandem repeat (STR) loci (TH01, TPOx, CSF1PO, vWA, FES/FPS, F13A1, F13B, and CD4) were determined in 400 individuals born in the State of São Paulo. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were found in any loci analyzed. The Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) tree constructed based on genetic distances revealed that the present population was grouped with Europeans, and separated from African and Amerindian populations. Estimates of admixture components based on the gene identity method revealed 79% European, 14% African, and 7% Amerindian contributions to this Brazilian population sample.

Although the association of polyols/polyphosphates/fluoride has been demonstrated to promote remarkable effects on dental enamel, little is known on their combined effects on biofilms. This study assessed the effects of solutions containing fluoride/sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP)/xylitol/erythritol on dual-species biofilms of and . Biofilms were grown in the continuous presence of these actives alone or in different associations.

The skin serves a substantial number of physiological purposes and is exposed to numerous biological and chemical agents owing to its large surface area and accessibility. Yet, current skin models are limited in emulating the multifaceted functions of skin tissues due to a lack of effort on the optimization of biomaterials and techniques at different skin layers for building skin frameworks. Here, we use biomaterial-based approaches and bioengineered techniques to develop a 3D skin model with layers of endothelial cell networks, dermal fibroblasts, and multilayered keratinocytes.

LIGHTCURVE ANALYSIS OF ASTEROIDS OBSERVED BY KMTNET-SAAO.

Minor Planet Bull

January 2019

South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA.

Observations from the South Africa node of the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNe-SAAO) were analyzed using the open source Photometry Pipeline (PP). PP can identify serendipitously observed asteroids in the observation fields which led to the extraction of 53 asteroid lightcurves. Rotational periods for 49 of these targets could be determined and are presented here.
