In a decision rendered on 27 November 2008 (C-418/07, Sté Papillon v. Ministère du Budget), the European Court of Justice ruled that the impossibility – resulting from the rules set forth in the French Tax Code – for a French parent company to include within a French tax consolidation group a French sub-subsidiary held... |
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of β‐amyloid (Aβ) peptides in the extracellular spaces of the brain as plaques and in the walls of blood vessels as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Failure of perivascular drainage of Aβ along cerebrovascular basement membranes contributes to the developm... |
Should we consider, along with the great specialist Patrick Manning, that “the field of slavery studies has become a model of comparatism in social and economic history”? This depends on what we mean by the term “comparatism,” which has come to denote approaches as different in their methods as they are varied, and eve... |
We present 5 cases of professional American contact sport athletes who committed parasuicides and suicides aged 50, 45, 44, 36, and 40 years old. Full forensic autopsies and immunohistochemical analyses of the brains revealed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The brains appeared grossly normal at autopsy without ... |
Background: Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a polycomb group protein that regulates the cell cycle, has recently been implicated in the progression of several human cancers. We sought to determine the pattern of EZH2 expression in benign and malignant melanocytic tumors to see if EZH2 might play a role in melanoma... |
This dissertation demonstrates, in a non-semantic information-theoretic framework, how the principles of “maximisation of relevant information” and “information parsimony” can guide the adaptation of an agent towards agent-agent interaction. Central to this thesis is the concept of digested information; I argue that an... |
Modeling studies predict that droughts and hotter water and air temperatures caused by climate warming will reduce the efficiency (η) of thermoelectric plants by 0.12-0.45% for each 1 °C of warming. We evaluate these predictions using historical performance data for 39 open- and closed-loop coal and natural gas plants ... |
Independent lines of evidence implicate the amygdala in the pathophysiology of mental illness or substance use disorders. In order to elucidate the role of the amygdala in these disorders in a neurodevelopmental context, and as comorbid conditions, we tested the effects of neonatal amygdala lesions (NAL) in rats in men... |
In fractures of the distal radius, standard operations including Kirschner-wire fixation, plating and fixation by external fixator may be carried out to restore the distal articular surface. Whereas the indication for Kirschner-wire osteosynthesis is limited, plating is used in irreducible fractures, in radius defects ... |
Based on launch environment of a certain barrel launched guided projectile, research the anti-high- overload mechanism of projectile-based device.

It should perhaps be pointed out that normal melatonin levels during the night (2400) cover a very large range,2 which in my own laboratory currently extends from undetectable ( < 7) to 161 pg/ml with one value of 269 pg/ml at 0200. Great care is therefore needed in describing a night-time plasma melatonin level as "ab... |
The biologically relevant form of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope (Env) glycoprotein is oligomeric, with the major points of contact between oligomeric partners located in the ectodomain of gp41. To identify and map conserved epitopes and regions in gp41 where structure is influenced by quatern... |

Current and future prospects for biomedical research are discussed by examining two critical questions, namely, how much money will be available and how it will be spent. Context is provided first by comparing how those same questions were answered 25 years ago with what has actually occurred between 1972 and the prese... |
A newly isolated facultatively methylotrophic bacterium (strain 3t(T)) was investigated. Cells of the isolate were Gram-stain-negative, asporogenous, non-motile rods that multiplied by binary fission. The strain utilized methanol, methylamine and a variety of multicarbon compounds as carbon and energy sources. Growth o... |
1. The middle of the fibre voltage‐‐clamp technique (Adrian & Marshall, 1977), modified where necessary for electrically short muscle fibres, has been used to measure non‐linear charge movements in mammalian fast twitch (rat extensor digitorum longus), mammalian slow twitch (rat soleus) and frog (sartorius) muscles. 2.... |
We characterize topologically ω-limit sets of nonrecurrent orbits for continuous flows on the n-sphere . Namely, it is shown that if Ω is the ω-limit set of some nonrecurrent orbit of a continuous flow on then it is the boundary of a region with connected complementary. Conversely, if Ω is the boundary of a region with... |
During the next decade or so, NASA, in conjunction with the European Space Agency, plans to send a spacecraft to the Saturnian system so that local studies of Saturn and its satellite, Titan, can be made. In order to study the atmosphere of Titan, analysis of both aerosols and gases will have to be made. To accomplish ... |

Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 mediates the majority of intestinal and renal electroneutral sodium absorption. Dysfunction of NHE3 is associated with a variety of diarrheal diseases. We previously reported that the NHE3 gene (SLC9A3) has more than 400 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but few nonsynonymous polymorphisms. A... |
AIM |
Little is known about attitudes toward advance directives and factors associated with them among emergency and palliative care nurses who often or daily face end-of-life circumstances. Thus, we aimed to compare the levels of attitudes toward advance directives, communication skills, knowledge about end-of-life care (kn... |
METHODS |
In this cross-sectional, correlational study, data were collected from 153 nurses (59 emergency and 94 palliative care nurses) at three tertiary hospitals using online or offline surveys and were analyzed using t-tests and multiple linear regression analysis. |
RESULTS |
The levels of attitudes, communication skills, knowledge, and good death awareness were moderate in both groups. Attitudes in emergency compared to palliative care nurses were less positive (46.78 vs. 48.38; p = .044), and knowledge was significantly lower (13.64 vs. 15.00; p = .004). Communication skills and good deat... |
CONCLUSIONS |
The findings demonstrate the need for improvements in attitudes, knowledge, communication skills, and good death awareness in both groups, especially emergency nurses. Two modifiable targets of interventions to improve nurses' attitudes were also noted.Fluctuations and stability of fisher waves. |
We have performed direct Monte Carlo simulations of the reversible diffusion-limited process {ital A}+{ital A}{leftrightarrow}{ital A} to study the effect of fluctuations on a propagating interface between stable and unstable phases. The mean-field description of this process, Fisher`s reaction-diffusion equation, admi... |

OBJECTIVE |
To study the YDPC--a monoclonal antibody that reacts with an antigen on both normal and malignant prostate cell. |
METHOD |
A murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) designated YDPC was generated by treating the primed spleen cells with leucine methyl ester (LeuOMe) following immunization of mice with prostate cancer cell line PC-3M. |
RESULT |
YDPC reacted uniformly with all adenocarcinomas of the prostate examined. It also reacted with the surface antigen on normal prostate epithelial cells and on cells from benign prostate hyperplasia. YDPC reacted with a limited number of normal tissues including renal tubules, adrenal and sweat gland. In addition, three ... |
CONCLUSION |
YDPC reacts with a differentiation antigen and this antigen continues to be expressed on all adenocarcinomas of the prostate. This antibody may be useful in the diagnosis of or therapy for prostate cancer.[Responding Mechanism of Vegetation Cover to Climate Change and Human Activities in Southwest China from 2000 to 20... |
