A new approach to blood vessel boundary estimation is presented in this paper. By appropriately modelling the blood vessel as a dynamically evolving state vector, and by taking into account the Poisson statistics of the x-ray imaging noise, we arrive at a state-space system with a non-linear measurement equation which ... |
For reservoir basins, complex underlying surface conditions, short flood confluence times, and concentrated water volumes make inflow flood forecasting difficult and cause forecast accuracies to be low. Conventional flood forecasting models can no longer meet the required forecast accuracy values for flood control oper... |
Applications of N-methyl amino acids (NMAAs) in drug discovery are limited by their low efficiencies of ribosomal incorporation, and little is known mechanistically about the steps leading to incorporation. Here, we demonstrate that a synthetic tRNA body based on a natural N-alkyl amino acid carrier, tRNA(Pro), increas... |
BACKGROUND |
Evaluate the effect of low intensity electrical stimulation (ES) training on strength. We purposefully used a low ES stimulation intensity to have it well accepted by middle aged and low performing people. Relate strength to metabolic parameters. |
METHODS |
Experimental design. Protocol 1: effects of 11 day low intensity ES training on quadriceps muscle maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Protocol 2: effects of 3 day training at low intensity ES + voluntary contraction at 60% of MVC (co-contraction). |
VARIABLES MEASURED |
maximal voluntary strength (FMAX), strength during ES (FES), strength developed during co-contraction (FES-C), oxygen consumption, heart rate. Experimental design included a basal session, a training program and controls of measured variables during and at the end of the training program. |
PARTICIPANTS |
protocol 1: experiments were done on 13 healthy and sedentary subjects (6 males and 7 women, mean age 50.6 years). Protocol 2: experiments done on 6 healthy sedentary men (mean age 31.5 years). |
RESULTS |
Protocol 1: FMAX increased significantly (p<0.05) to 14 and 19% at day 6 and 11, respectively. During ES, oxygen consumption increased by 20%, but no change in heart rate was observed. Protocol 2: FMAX significantly increased (about 5%) in subjects who trained with co-contraction; conversely, FMAX did not significantly... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Low intensity ES in sedentary and poorly performing people increases significantly FMAX during MVC possibly via facilitatory neurogenic mechanism.Children's Schooling: A Potential Impediment to Work for Women of Color Facing Welfare Reform |

Susie Orbach (1978) penned Fat is a Feminist Issue at a time when the women’s movement was differentiating itself from, although borne of, the male New Left. Feminist theory and practice recognized that the personal is political. The socalled private sphere concealed very public and political matters such as who does h... |
In recent decades, a higher prevalence, persistence, and severity of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) have been observed. Different hypotheses have been proposed in relation to potential responsible mechanisms, with emphasis on the role of the microbiota in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance as well as ... |

PURPOSE OF REVIEW |
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a new class of drugs that combine a surface receptor-targeting antibody linked to a cytotoxic molecule. This review summarizes the current literature demonstrating their tremendous promise as therapeutic agents in the treatment of aggressive gynecologic malignancies. |
RECENT FINDINGS |
Several antigens have proven to be differentially overexpressed in a variety of gynecologic tumors when compared with normal surrounding tissue and serve as novel targets for ADC therapy. In the last few years HER2/neu, folic acid-alpha (FRα) and Trop-2 overexpression have been exploited as excellent targets by novel A... |
SUMMARY |
Preclinical data strongly supports these ADCs and ongoing clinical trials will shed further light into the potential of making these drugs part of current standard practice and providing our patients with a higher level of personalized cancer care.A joint design of network coding and channel coding for multiple access ... |

The medico-legal aspects of the dental management of ageing and aged patients relate mainly to the assessment of the patient's competence and the role of substitute decision makers. Dentists will assess whether or not a patient is competent to give informed consent to treatment. Lawyers use the word 'capacity' when dec... |
Critically ill patients are hypercatabolic due to stress and inflammation. This condition induces hyperglycemia. Muscle wasting is intense during critical illness. Its prevention is essential.

We consider for the first time nonperturbative gluon state evolution up to the second order of smallness in time. Investigating gluon fluctuations at the nonperturbative stage we have proved theoretically the possibility of the existence of both single- and two-mode gluon squeezed states. The emergence of such remarkab... |
Abstract Much of the debate between the European and US positions about the labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods has been whether consumers perceive labels as a source of information or as a signal to change behavior. In this paper we provide an experimental framework for examining these roles of information and... |
We present further modifications to aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy (AC-ETEM) for the dynamic HRTEM observation of single atoms. Additional pumping levels that include three additional turbomolecular pumps (TMPs) enable a base pressure of 3.5 × 10(-5) Pa in the sample chamber. The ef... |
The percentage of suckling mice that developed paralysis after intracerebral Junin virus (XJ-JV pathogenic strain) inoculation (13.8%) consistently increased after 5 serial passages of virus-infected brain or spinal cord obtained from paralytic animals, reaching 37.9 and 45.7%, respectively. As expected, all paralytic ... |

Whether a corporation can be a manager is closely related to the question of whether a management company can be a manager. In order for a management company to become a manager, a corporation should be allowed to be a manager. However, regardless of whether a corporation can be a manager, a management company should n... |
A corporation can be a management committee member of condominium? Since the Condominium Act stipulates that only the unit owner can be a management committee member and does not allow the representative of the corporation which is a unit owner to be a management committee member. a corporation which is a unit owner ca... |
Unlike the space of received words generated by substitution errors, the space of received words generated by insertion errors is infinite. Given an arbitrary code, it is therefore possible for there to exist an infinite number of received words that are unique to a particular codeword. This work explores the extent to... |

Mass spectrometry offers alternative approaches that are not dependent on antibody affinity and avidity, protein isoforms, quaternary structures, or steric hindrance of antibody-antigen recognition in case of multipr... |
Darwin’s ideas about emotion are known from his published scientific writings [e.g., Darwin, 1872/1998, 1877], which focus primarily on the evolutionary origins of emotional expressions. The present paper offers an analysis of a personal document – Darwin’s memorial of his daughter Annie, who died at age 10 [Darwin, 19... |
The reconstruction of amputated thumbs is difficult because of a poor prognosis, and the varying length and volume of the lost thumbs. Two patients underwent reconstruction of amputated thumbs in one stage with the use of a modified wrap-around flap procedure. An onychocutaneous flap from the big toe is suitable for pa... |
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and various autoimmune-like disorders. T-cell immune suppression is also associated with HTLV-I infection. Mechanisms of diverse immune dysregulation in HTLV-I infection are ob... |
teristics of the offender are incorrect and that methods of prevention and treatment based on these theories are ineffectual. It is argued that the most plausible explanation for offending is one based on social lçaming theory, assuming that offending depends primarily on reinforcement contingencies in the envi ronmen... |
