Background: Over the last few decades, rates of active transport (AST) among school age children have decreased as rates of child obesity have increased. Thus, it has been proposed that increasing AST in this population would help stem the tide of child obesity and improve child health. The evidence for the capacity of AST to reduce child obesity, however, is mixed. Purpose: To examine the asso...

The paper defines an annotated su x tree (AST) a data structure used to calculate and store the frequencies of all the fragments of the given string or a collection of strings. The AST is associated with a string to text scoring, which takes all fuzzy matches into account. We show how the AST and the AST scoring can be used for Natural Language Processing tasks.

The purpose of this work is to analyze preoperative serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and their effect on the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical operation. These analyses were performed retrospectively in patients with NSCLC followed by surgery; participants were recruited between January 2004 and January 2008. All clinical information and l...

The study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of liver function enzymes in patients with choledocholithiasis. The retrospective study included 120 choledocholithiasis patients (experimental group), 110 cholecystolithiasis patients (control group) and 60 healthy subjects (healthy group) from January 2013 to December 2014. Blood sample was extracted from each participant, and biochemical te...

Tetranectin is a plasminogen kringle 4 domain-binding protein present in plasma and various tissue locations. Decreased plasma tetranectin or increased tetranectin in stroma of cancers correlates with cancer progression and adverse prognosis. A possible mechanism through which tetranectin could influence cancer progression is by altering activities of plasminogen or the plasminogen fragment, an...

Lano, K., The intuitionistic alternative set theory, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 59 (1993) 141-156. The Alternative Set Theory, as defined in Vopenka and Sochor, demonstrates how a set theory which avoids actually infinite sets can serve as a framework for much of classical mathematics. This paper defines a theory which can serve as an intuitionistic analogue of AST, and examines motivatio...

Macro-aspartate transaminase (macro-AST) must be considered when the aspartate transaminase (AST) level is chronically high without any liver, cardiac, or muscle disease. Many specialized laboratory techniques have been recommended for diagnosing macro-AST, including the polyethylene glycol immune precipitate technique, which is simple. This study presents a considerably easier method based on ...

The current work proposed a new measurement of self–complexity based on Carlston’s (1994) Associated Systems Theory (AST). AST is a systematic approach to classifying the cognitive representations of social entities and, as such, it provides a rich and theoretically based framework for examining self–concept representation in ways that existent approaches cannot. In the current study, an AST–ba...
