We analyzed (a) insulin sensitivity (IS) and (b) glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GR), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant enzyme activity in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients with atherothrombotic infarction (ATI) (group A), lacunar infarction (LI) (B), or without stroke (C) and in nondiabetics with ATI (D), LI (E), or without stroke (F). ATI and LI were confirmed by...

Human alternative open reading frames (HAltORF) is a publicly available and searchable online database referencing putative products of out-of-frame alternative translation initiation (ATI) in human mRNAs. Out-of-frame ATI is a process by which a single mRNA encodes independent proteins, when distinct initiation codons located in different reading frames are recognized by a ribosome to initiate...

Head-direction cells are neurons that signal a rat's directional heading in the horizontal plane. Head-direction cells in the anterior thalamus are anticipatory, so that their firing rate is better correlated with the rat's future head direction than with the present or past head direction. We recorded single-unit activity from head-direction cells in the anterior thalamus of freely moving rats...

As part of the preparatory work for the RADARSAT-2 moving object detection experiment (MODEX special operating mode), an airborne experiment was conducted at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa in July 1999 to study synthetic aperture radar (SAR) along-track interferometry (ATI) and SAR displaced phase centre antenna (DPCA) as candidate measurement techniques. The CV 580 SAR system operated by Enviro...

An improved quasistatic model is used to describe the ionization process of atoms in intense linearly polarized fields. Numerical calculations of AboveThreshold-Ionization (ATI) energy spectra and photoelectron angular distributions (PAD) of hydrogen atoms reveal clearly plateau and side lobe structures, which are in good agreement with recent ATI experiments. Our results show that, the existen...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a scoring system for managing snakebites in South Africa (SA). METHODS We studied all snakebite admissions to a regional hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, SA. The primary outcome was an active treatment intervention (ATI) defined as antivenom treatment or any surgical procedure. The development cohort consisted of 879 patients with snakebite who presented to the Ngw...

A new method to measure the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a strong few-cycle laser pulse is introduced. The new concept relies on above threshold ionization (ATI) in circularly polarized laser fields and allows for CEP tagging every single laser pulse generated in few-cycle laser systems at multi-kHz repetition rates. The implementation of the new method is described and discussed quantitativ...
