Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme with proteolytic activity against matrix and nonmatrix proteins, particularly basement membrane constituents. Thus, any naturally occurring genetic variants that directly affect gene expression and/or protein function would be expected to impact on progression of pathological processes involving tissue remodeling. We scanned a 2-kilobase pair promoter region all 13 exons the human MMP-2 gene, from panel 32 individuals, we identified position,...
New tools tackle an age-old practice.
The bioaccessibilities of the platinum group elements (PGE): Rh, Pd, and Pt; catalyzator poison, Pb, have been determined in particles derived from milled automotive catalytic converters using a physiologically based extraction test (PBET) that simulates, sequentially, chemical conditions encountered human stomach intestine. PGE accessibility, relative to total metal concentration, was generally less than few percent, but increased with decreasing pH (from 4 1) and/or increasing chloride...
The SIGKDD'09 Research Track received 537 paper submissions, which were reviewed by a Program Committee of 199 members, and Senior 22 members. We used techniques from artificial intelligence data mining to streamline support this complicated process at three crucial stages: bidding PC members on papers, assigning papers reviewers, calibrating scores obtained the reviews. In we report approaches taken, evaluate how well they worked, describe some further work done after conference.
Geotrichum candidum Link (1809) is a yeast-like fungus that causes sour rot of peach (Prunus persica). Outbreaks the disease have occurred since 2021 in fruit kept cold storage despite post-harvest treatments with propiconazole at commercial farm South Carolina (SC). A total 58 isolates, 40 from symptomatic Saluda County (SC packing house isolates), 11 three SC orchards County, Spartanburg and Pickens non-packing 7 California (CA) isolates (at least 3 houses) were evaluated for sensitivity....
Density forecast combinations are becoming increasingly popular as a means of improving 'accuracy', measured by scoring rule. In this paper we generalise literature letting the combination weights follow more general schemes. Sieve estimation is used to optimise score generalised density where depend on variable one trying forecast. Specific attention paid use piecewise linear weight functions that let vary region density. We analyse these schemes theoretically, in Monte Carlo experiments...
Paediatric chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a relatively common and disabling condition. The National Institute for Health Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as treatment option paediatric CFS/ME because there good evidence that it effective. Despite this, most young people in the UK are unable to access local specialist CBT CFS/ME. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) showed FITNET was effective Netherlands but we do not...
Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in adolescents is common and disabling. Teenagers the United Kingdom are more likely to recover if they access specialist care, but most do not have a local CFS/ME service. Delivering treatment remotely via internet could improve treatment.This study aims assess (1) feasibility of recruitment retention into trial internet-delivered for with (2) acceptability processes 2 web-based treatments (to inform continuation full trial).This...
Diachronic analyses of pastoralism over the millennia pose a problem. Studies one period can use models based on other periods as heuristic devices, to problems and questions for investigation. But survey archaeologists others engaged in diachronic analysis cannot assume period-specific model starting point. Instead, we propose that investigation begin from set seven variables, which constitute elements formulation comparative analyses: environment, location, scale, specialization, links...

Abstract Coding standards and good practices are fundamental to a disciplined approach software projects irrespective of programing languages being employed. Prolog can benefit from such an approach, perhaps more than in other languages. Despite this, no widely accepted seem have emerged till now. The present paper is first step toward filling this void: It provides immediate guidelines for code layout, naming conventions, documentation, proper use features, program development, debugging,...
Goats were divided into three groups and given infusions of live Escherichia coli bacteria. Group I received no treatment, group II was treated with indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor), III dazoxiben thromboxane synthase inhibitor). Double indicator-dilution extravascular lung water (EVLW) in significantly different from the groups. There an early increase EVLW but not animals. At 6 h EVLW's I, II, 100, 45, 30% above base line, respectively. Lymph flow (QL) lymph-to-plasma protein...
We introduce a data flow model that supports highly parallelisable design patterns and also has useful properties for analysing serially over extended time periods without requiring traditional Big Data computing facilities. The ranges class of higher-order relations which are sufficiently expressive to represent wide variety unstructured, semi-structured structured data. Using JSONMatch, our web service implementation the model, we show combination this representation provides powerful...
