Underwater construction, maintenance, and mapping use autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for path planning, path following, and target tracking operations.However, dynamic position management and localization of AUVs are critical issues.Correct localization and dynamic position management to prevent drifts can be used to acquire information on e
Study of obesity associated proopiomelanocortin gene polymorphism: Relation to metabolic profile and eating habits in a sample of obese Egyptian children and adolescents
Background: Melanocortinergic system represents a known system involved in the central regulation of body weight with the central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons forming a potent anorexigenic network.Polymorphisms in the POMC gene locus are associated with obesity phenotypes.Aim: To assess the contribution of the POMC gene 9-bp insertional polym
