BackgroundAndrogenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss, and is characterized by the transformation of terminal scalp hair into vellus hair. The epidemiology of AGA is not fully understood. A strong genetic basis has long been identified, although little is known of its nongenetic causes.
AimTo evaluate the association of AGA with a number of environmental factors, including smoking,...
The spread of avian influenza has caused severe deaths in poultry and humans. It is important to understand migratory raptors flyways by monitoring their migration patterns. Ground counting is the oldest and easiest method to count the population of migratory raptors. The observers recognize the species of migratory raptors based on size, colour and song and flying characteristic. However, ground...
The relationship between the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and rainfall over the South East Asia was examined by using daily OLR data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar-orbiting satellites and rainfall data from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 daily V006. The study was carried out using data collected from January to March in year 2007 which covered...
Migratory birds have been identified to be the dominant sources for spreading the avian influenza/bird flu virus from one country to other country. It is important to have useful technique to monitor the bird migration for accessing the spread of bird flu. In this paper, we proposed the use of Digital Single Lens Reflex camera coupled with image processing technique to quantify the migratory birds...
The etiology of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (mandibulo-oculo-facial dysostosis) has been established, as almost all bona fide cases have ocurred as sporadic events; however, a single mutant gene (dominant) has been postulated as the cause. Coats disease is not usually thought to be a hereditary disorder, is usually unilateral, and is slightly more common in males. The Hallermann-Streiff syndrome...
