Wireless sensor nodes continuously observe and sense statistical data from the physical environment. But what degree of accurate data sensed by the sensor nodes collaboratively is a big issue for wireless sensor networks. Hence in this paper, we describe accuracy models of sensor networks for collecting accurate data from the physical environment under two conditions. First condition: we propos...

Inherited deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) gives rise to a syndrome of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). We have studied a 2.5-yr-old immunologically normal child who had been found to lack ADA in his erythrocytes during New York State screening of normal newborns. His erythrocytes were not detectably less deficient in ADA than erythrocytes of ADA(-)-SCID...

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme in the purine catabolic pathway that has been used as an enzymatic marker of T cell lymphoblastic malignancies due to its high specific activity in thymocytes and immature T cells. We have investigated whether the level of ADA activity in lymphoid leukemic cells correlates with the amount of ADA-specific RNA and/or immunoreactive protein in these cells as ...

Cloned cDNA sequences of human adenosine deaminase (ADA; adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) have been isolated from a cDNA library constructed in bacteriophage lambda gt10. The cDNA for the library was prepared from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from a human T-lymphoblast cell line, CCRF-CEM. The library was initially screened by differential plaque hybridization to labeled cDNA prepared from human ...

BACKGROUND Edema in nephrotic syndrome results from renal retention of sodium and alteration of the permeability properties of capillaries. Nephrotic syndrome induced by puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) in rats reproduces the biological and clinical signs of the human disease, and has been widely used to identify the cellular mechanisms of sodium retention. Unfortunately, mice do not develop nep...

This paper describes the system that we designed for solving the “Learning Language in Logic” Challenge task 2005 (LLL’05) concerning the extraction of directed genic interactions from sentences in Medline abstracts. We see this task as a classification problem: the system must separate the interacting pairs of genes/proteins from the non-interacting ones, and it achieves this by learning a mod...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of initial combination treatment with adalimumab (ADA) and methotrexate (MTX) versus monotherapy with ADA or MTX during an open-label extension of PREMIER. METHODS Patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) received blinded ADA plus MTX, ADA alone, or MTX alone for 2 years in PREMIER. At Year 2, patients could enroll in an open-label extension ...

Abstract Objective: It has been reported that adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a good marker for insulin function but its clinical significance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not yet characterized. This study aims to assess the association of ADA with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and uric acid (UA) in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 120 subjects divi...
