RNA-seq Evaluating Several Custom Microarrays Background Correction and Gene Expression Data Normalization Systems | Chapter 09 | Advances and Trends in Biotechnology and Genetics Vol. 2

Microarray gene expression technologies represents a widely used tool in transcriptomics and genomics studies worldwide. This technology is stable with the purpose of gene expression differential analysis because of their well-established biostatistics and bioinformatics analysis schemes. However, microarray reliability with regard that analysis typology, depend on probe specificity as well as applied data normalisation and/or background correction procedures. Then, we assessed the performance of 20 different microarrays background correction / gene expression data normalisation combination procedures from “linear models for microarray and RNA-Seq data analysis” package (limma), by comparing significantly differentially expressed genes detected by several custom microarray design strategies, depending on microarray probe size as well as probe set number per transcript model by assuming RNA-Seq approach as benchmark. Basing exclusively on a multivariate statistical clustering surveys, in R programing environment, we showed the pre-eminence of data normalisation (DN) as opposed to noise background correction/subtraction (BS) in microarray expression analysis. Although the combination between (i) gene expression data normalization and (ii) background subtraction procedures (BS+DN), improves the agreement between heterogenic microarray platforms as well as RNA-Seq platform in calling significantly modulated genes, quantile normalisation system combined with all processed background correction procedures has been discriminated as exhibiting highest sensitivity with RNA-Seq (p < 0.05). In conclusion we showed the pre-eminence of microarray data pre-processing step in gene expression differential analysis by according a priority to data normalisation procedure especially to quantile normalisation system contributing in stabilizing gene expression differential analysis results with regard heterogenic custom microarray design strategies (heterogenic microarray platforms).

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Risk Factors for Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders. A Review of the Literature | Chapter 8 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for the development of postpartum psychiatric disorders through international literature. Materials and Methods: Throughout many articles in PubMed, Google scholar and PsycInfo, a great amount of recent data was gathered to identify the disorders that are most common as well as their risk factors. Results: After childbirth, most commonly women experience postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. All the disorders have many similar risk-factors with the main one being preexisting psychiatric disorder and many similar symptoms too. Conclusions: Women after childbirth are at risk of experience many psychiatric disorders, such as postpartum distress, postpartum post traumatic stress disorder and even more rarely postpartum psychosis. It is important to provide comprehensive support to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the infant and this will b...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
