The L-iduronic acid (IdoA) residue is a critically important structural component in heparan sulphate polysaccharide for the biological functions. The pyranose ring of IdoA is present in (1)C4-chair, (2)SO-skew boat, and less frequently, in (4)C1-chair conformations. Here, we analyzed the conformation of IdoA residue in eight hexasaccharides by NMR. The data demonstrate a correlation between th...

Numerous experimental and epidemiological studies have demonstrated a correlation between Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis) infestation and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, the role of C. sinensis in the increased invasiveness and proliferation involved in the malignancy of CCA has not been addressed yet. Here, we investigated the possibility that C. sinensis infestation promotes expression o...

This paper investigates the hypothesis that attitudes towards a lin­ guistic variety and intelligibility of that variety are linked. This is done by elicit­ ing language attitudes and word recognition scores in 154 Danish and Swedish schoolchildren and adolescents between 7 and 16 years. Language attitudes to­ wards the neighboring language are elicited by means of a matched­guise ex­ periment ...

Measurements are presented of how polymer surface diffusion at the solid-liquid interface is controlled by surface coverage. The method of measurement was fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and the system was poly(ethylene oxide) (PEG) adsorbed onto methyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers in buffered aqueous solution. The translational diffusion coefficient at first increased with...

This paper introduces a power-efficient readout scheme for CMOS image sensors utilizing SAR ADCs. Inspired by the strong correlation between neighboring pixels, each SAR ADC assigned to readout multiple columns of pixels reads each pixel by first copying several MSBs from the previous pixel and, desirably, converts only LSBs to save conversion cycles and power consumption. The readout concept w...

Current methods for routine international evaluations are based on pre-processed information. This puts several restrictions on the method of analysis that can be used. For example, comparisons need to be made on genetic evaluation unit bases. Neighboring countries with similar production environments cannot be treated as genetically identical traits, and environmental variation within country ...

we introduce a new feature vector for shapebased image retrieval. This feature depends on two factors: the centroidal distances of shape and correlation between neighboring edges, hence this scheme is not only effective and robust to translation, scaling, and rotation, but also has the qualities of expressing the spatial information of edges. Experimental results show the proposed method has cl...

In this work we use theory to obtain a mathematical expression for a time correlation function c(l,t) that provides insight into the zipping phenomena along a polymer going through a conformational transition. The polymer is modeled as an Ising-like chain with each segment being in one of two states: bound (+1) or unbound (-1). The time correlation function c(l,t) predicts the correlation betwe...

In the presented work, an attempt to assess correlation between performance indicators of several sectors Russian economy and a set restrictive measures taken by Government our country against backdrop fight COVID-19 pandemic is made. addition, comparative analysis impact this on neighboring countries Russia, which, in recent past, were part USSR and, therefore, have similar health care organiz...

Little has been published on the histochemical and cytochemical properties of anchoring filaments of initial lymph vessels. Previous research suggests that the microfibrils of the anchoring filaments have ultrastructural, histochemical and cytochemical characteristics similar to those of the microfibrils associated with elastic fibers. With the aim of further investigating the histological iden...
