In vitro effects of bFGF on neural tube, heart, and total embryonic development were investigated in 60 rat embryos (obtained from seven pregnant females) at 9.5 days of gestation that were cultured in whole rat serum (WRS), in >30 kDa serum fractions [retenate (R)], and in R+bFGF. After 48 h culture, the embryos from each group were harvested and divided into two groups. One group was analysed...

BACKGROUND The representativeness of practice networks is important when using the information obtained to guide health policy. AIM To develop a model for examining the representativeness of practice networks. METHODS Comparison of surveyed population, practice structure and prescribing characteristics with the national data using the Weekly Returns Service (WRS) for 2006 as an example of p...

Personalization systems based upon users' surfing behavior analysis imply three phases: data collection, pattern discovery and recommendation. Due to the dimension of log files and high processing time, the first two phases are being achieved offline, in a batch process. In this article, we propose WRS, an architecture for adaptive web applications. Within the framework, usage data is being imp...

In this paper we present a concrete algebraic construction of novel class convolutional codes. These codes are built upon generalized Vandermonde matrices and therefore can be seen as natural extension Reed-Solomon block to the context For reason call them weighted (WRS) We show that under some constraints on defining parameters these Maximum Distance Profile (MDP), which means they have maxima...

A method of data collection is presented that unites the efficiency of mass testing with the ease of instant electronic data collection that is typical of computer-based experiments run on individual participants. A wireless response system (WRS), originally designed as a teaching tool, is used to replicate three classic and robust effects from the memory literature (effects of false memory, le...

ABSTRACT We examine high-cadence space photometry taken by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) of a sample evolved massive stars: 26 Wolf–Rayet stars (WRs) and eight luminous blue variables (LBVs) or candidate LBVs. To avoid confusion problems, only without bright Gaia neighbours evidence bound companions are considered. This leads to clean sample, variability properties which shou...

Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset diabetes, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, tendency to skeletal fractures secondary to osteopenia, and growth retardation. Mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase (EIF2AK3) gene are responsible for this disorder. Here, we describe a boy with neonatal diabetes, diagnosed ...

Reorganization of a rail control post may affect its ability to cope with unexpected disruptions. The term ‘resilience’, the ability to manage spare adaptive capacity when unexpected events occur, encapsulates this situation. This paper focuses on the workload adaptive capacity through a method for revealing workload weak-resilience-signals (WRS). Three different workload measurements are adapt...

The gap times between recurrent events are often of primary interest in medical and epidemiology studies. The observed gap times cannot be naively treated as clustered survival data in analysis because of the sequential structure of recurrent events. This paper introduces two important building blocks, the averaged counting process and the averaged at-risk process, for the development of the we...

Vestibular hearing in human is evoked as a result of the auditory sensitivity of the saccule to low-frequency high-intensity tone. The objective was to investigate the relationship between vestibular hearing using cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and speech processing via word recognition scores in white noise (WRSs in wn). Intervention comprised of audiologic examination...
