This article investigates how and when regime transitions intensify minority discrimination through an analysis of two types religious persecution following the Arab uprisings. We argue that weakened institutions prevalence outbidding during political make societal-based (SRD) more likely to increase than government-based (GRD). is because social divisions are often exacerbated unrest difficult...

OBJECTIVE To study the characteristics of the reflectivity of the cystoid spaces and serous retinal detachment (SRD) on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the correlation with fluorescein findings in diabetic macular edema (DME). DESIGN Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive 134 eyes of 114 patients with clinically significant ma...

Smart radiation device (SRD) based on the asymmetrical Fabry-Perot cavity automatically tune its IR emittance depending ambient temperature, making it an ideal choice for thermal control system of spacecrafts. The low solar absorption is desirable SRD to prevent spacecraft from overheating by sun light. In this paper, a multilayer highly reflective film with <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.o...

Small iontophoretic applications of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) were used in rats to study the efferent projections from a restricted region in the reticular formation of the caudal medulla: the subnucleus reticularis dorsalis (SRD). It was found that fibres from SRD project mainly to the spinal cord, the oral motor nuclei, the dorsal accessory inferior olive, the giganto- and pa...

OBJECTIVE To assess the reliability of 4 gait performance tests in individuals with late effects of polio. DESIGN An intrarater (between occasions) test-retest reliability study. SETTINGS University hospital. PARTICIPANTS Thirty men and women (mean age 63 +/- 6.4 years) with clinically and electrophysiologically verified late effects of polio. INTERVENTION Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME...

Vaccine manufacturers require more rapid and accurate tools to characterize the potency and stability of their products. Currently, the gold standard for influenza vaccine potency is the single radial immunodiffusion (SRD) assay, which has inherent disadvantages. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the ability of the VaxArray Influenza (VXI) seasonal hemagglutinin (sHA) poten...

The value of a methodological paper generally depends on 1) the importance of the problem addressed, 2) the completeness of the presentation of the issues and prior progress, and 3) a new solution to the problem that is feasible and better than what has already been proposed. The Uyei and Braithwaite article (hereafter UB) clearly satisfies the first two criteria and is well worth contemplating...

Rumor detection has become an emerging and active research field in recent years. At the core is to model rumor characteristics inherent rich information, such as propagation patterns social network semantic post content, differentiate them from truth. However, existing works on fall short modeling heterogeneous either using one single information source only (e.g., network, or content) ignorin...

We describe a line of mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells, designated SRD-13A, that cannot cleave sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) at site 1, due to mutations in the gene encoding SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP). The SRD-13A cells were obtained by two rounds of gamma-irradiation followed first by selection for a deficiency of low density lipoprotein receptors and seco...
