BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate sequential changes in laboratory markers after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the relationship of these changes to the severity of the underlying liver disease. METHODS This retrospective analysis included 65 patients (44 males, 21 females) who underwent RFA of HCC. Hematologic and biochemical markers were assessed at the pre...

Abstract The influence of the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) and its amplitude on Euro-Mediterranean summer climate is studied in two models, namely CNRM-CM5 EC-Earth3P. Large ensembles idealized experiments have been conducted which North sea surface temperatures are relaxed toward different amplitudes observed AMV anomalies. In agreement with observations, during a positive phase bot...

Many of the new fuzzy structures with complete MV-algebras as value sets, such hesitant, intuitionistic, neutrosophic, or soft can be transformed into one type set values in special algebras, called AMV-algebras. The category AMV-algebras is isomorphic to pairs (R,R∗) commutative semirings and corresponding sets are (R,R∗)-fuzzy sets. We use this theory define relations, lower upper approximati...

The RNA-directed DNA polymerase (deoxynucleosidetriphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase EC 2.7.7.7) of avian oncornavirus requires a tryptophan tRNA (tRNATrp) primer molecule located close to the 5' end of the viral RNA genome for the initiation of DNA synthesis in vitro. In this communication we demonstrate that the DNA product, transcribed from avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) 35S RNA co...

Abstract Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) has been linked to the observed slowdown of global warming over 1998–2012 through its impact on tropical Pacific. Given importance Pacific variability, better understanding this Atlantic–Pacific teleconnection is key for improving climate predictions, but robustness and strength link are uncertain. Analyzing a multi-model set sensitivity experime...

Antibodies directed against a bacterial fusion protein that contains the domain encoded by the highly evolutionarily conserved 5' one-third of the v-myb oncogene of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) detect the protein products of various members of the myb gene family. Immunoprecipitation or immunoblot analyses with these antibodies yielded the following information. First, the products of the v...

Explosive-type strength training may alter kinetics and neuromuscular activity during stair ascent in elderly women. This may improve functional ability. Nineteen women (69.7 ± 3.4 yr) were randomly allocated to strength training (TG; twice per wk, 12 wk) or a control group (CG). Stair ascent was assessed at self-chosen (AFV), standardized (ASV), and maximal velocity (AMV) pre- and posttraining...
