In this paper, we focus on the objective prediction of two of the foreground perceptual quality elements of the Diagnostic Acceptability Measure (DAM) that of SB and SF and show that they are correlated with statistical characteristics of features extracted from a physiologically motivated cochlear model response. The work complements earlier work where two other DAM quality elements, SH and SL...

INTRODUCTION Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH, grade 1, thyrotropin (TSH) ≥0.1 mU/L and grade 2, TSH <0.1 mU/L) is a common disorder with increased prevalence in older subjects. There is evidence for increased morbidities in SH, such as atrial fibrillation and osteoporosis. We aim to study the natural history and comorbidities of SH from patients referred to a tertiary endocrine clinic in Singap...

The SH gene of the paramyxovirus SV5 is located between the genes for the glycoproteins, fusion protein (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), and the SH gene encodes a small 44-residue hydrophobic integral membrane protein (SH). The SH protein is expressed in SV5-infected cells and is oriented in membranes with its N terminus in the cytoplasm. To study the function of the SH protein in the ...

Grazing behavior exhibited by different biological types (breed groups) of lactating beef cows was evaluated during the summers of 1985 (Trial 1) and 1986 (Trial 2). Animals grazed native Montana foothill grassland. In Trial 1, breed groups consisted of Hereford (HH), 50% Angus-50% Hereford (AH), 50% Simmental-50% Hereford (SH), and 75% Simmental-25% Hereford (3S1H) with six cows per breed grou...

Competitive adsorption kinetics between thiolated polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG) and mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) on gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were studied using a prototype physical characterization approach that combines dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrospray differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA). The change in hydrodynamic particle size (intensity average) due to the formation of ...

Dengue virus (DENV) infection causes dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, or dengue shock syndrome. Mast cells have been speculated to play a role in DENV disease although their precise roles are unclear. In this study, we used mast cell-deficient Kit(W-sh/W-sh) mice to investigate the involvement of mast cells after intradermal DENV infection. An approximately two- to three-fold higher lev...

Neste estudo as frações metálicas, complexadas por substâncias húmicas aquáticas (SH) foram caracterizadas como lábeis/inertes em função do pH, tempo de complexação e concentração de SH. As SH foram extraídas por ultrafiltração e complexadas com íons metálicos bivalentes. Essas frações foram caracterizadas por processo de troca iônica utilizando resina celulósica Hyphan e procedimento em batela...

background and objectives: oxidative stress is implicated in the neuronal damage associated with alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’s disease, huntington’s disease, amyotropic lateral sclerosis and cerebral ischemic stroke. the present work was designed to establish the neuroprotective effects of salvia aristata extract on h2o2-induced apoptosis in human dopaminergic sh-sy5y cells. methods: the tot...
