OBJECTIVES Sensorimotor deficits such as impaired joint proprioception and muscle weakness have been found in association with hypermobility syndrome (HMS) in adults. HMS is more common in children than adults, yet such deficits have not been adequately investigated in paediatric populations. It is therefore uncertain as to what sensorimotor deficits are present in children with HMS. This study...

BACKGROUND Hydatidiform moles (HMs) are abnormal pregnancies with a propensity for developing persistent disease in the form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), which requires chemotherapy. In previous studies, the authors demonstrated that low apoptotic activity was correlated with the progression of HM to GTN, and they hypothesized that some apoptosis-related genes may determine thi...

The energy levels and lifetimes of the lowest excited triplet (T1) states of UV-B absorbers, 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS) and homomenthyl salicylate (HMS), and their deprotonated anions (EHS(-) and HMS(-)) were determined through measurements of phosphorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra in rigid solutions at 77 K. The observed T1 energies of EHS and HMS are higher than ...

Hydrological modeling is a widely used approach for estimating the hydrological response of basin to precipitation. Floods are among most catastrophic natural disasters in small urban watersheds, inflicting loss life, massive property destruction, and severe danger economy. As result, appropriate can be useful tool preventing mitigating such flood hazards. Despite this, flash prediction remains...

The Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) brings together the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard Medical School (HMS), Harvard University, Boston-area teaching hospitals, and an assortment of research centers in a unique collaboration that integrates science, medicine, and engineering to solve problems in human health. Over 400 graduate students of scien...

The introduction of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) systems in the 1980s, aiming at integrating automatic workstations into fully automated factories, was not successful. The root causes of this failure were that the subsystems to be integrated were not suitably designed for easy integration into a larger system. This situation stimulated the authors to embark on a research programme on...

Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) provides a flexible architecture to the changes and uncertainties of the manufacturing conditions. HMS has developed to meet the needs of consumers who are adapted to the capability of the company. This paper explains holon and holonic manufacturing system, analyzing the needs of the manufacturing system at the upcoming conditions, summarizes the current deve...

This study aimed at mapping the Kota Tinggi flood event in 2006/2007 that had caused massive damages to properties and environment. The was associated with unusually high intensity continuous rainfall, tide. Therefore, a reliable technique of floodplain is crucial for improvement control strategies preparing an evacuation plan. main objective this incorporate effect tide on modeling analysis. i...

The red blood cell hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS) and proteolytic responses to several concentrations of Methylene Blue or sodium nitrite were measured. The results suggested two distinct mechanisms for activation of the HMS: (1) nitrite treatment increased HMS activity in response to oxidative challenge to red cell protein; (2) Methylene Blue treatment activated HMS without injurious oxidati...
