In the present investigation, a novel adsorbent, ionic liquid modified magnetic nanoparticles (IL-Fe3O4), was successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA), XRD analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and theory of Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) for remo...

The theory of respectively interpretation proposed in Yatabe and Tam (2021) "In defense an HPSG-based non-constituent coordination" (Linguistics Philosophy 44, pp. 1-77) entails that Binding Conditions A B need to be formulated as constraints on the form semantic representations. It is possible formulate two binding conditions such if anaphoric relations are encoded representations a way analog...

Abstract So-called respectively readings have posed serious challenges for theories of syntax and semantics. Sentences like George and Martha respectively denounced and were denounced by the governor (McCawley 1998) show that although the conjoined verbal expressions share the same syntactic subject, they do not predicate that subject in the same way; George (not Martha) denounced the governor,...

AIM To assess disease-specific circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients. METHODS A total of 111 biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and healthy controls from mainland China were enrolled to measure their serum levels of miR-122, -125b, -146b, -16, -21, -192, -27b and -34a. The correlations between...

Objective: To assess test-retest reliability of the service utilization screening section of the Services Assessment for Children and Adolescents (SACA) interview among Spanish-speaking parents and adolescents, correspondence between parent and adolescent reports, and the correlation between reliability and participants’ demographic and service use characteristics. Method: The English SACA was ...

The present study aims to explore the possible mechanisms underlying the multidrug resistance characteristic of Cryptosporidium parvum by detecting the presence of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein encoding genes, especially one that shows high similarity to members belonging to the multidrug resistance protein (MDR) and multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) subfamilies. PCR using ABC-...

Background: This study showed the patterns and grading of Asherman’s syndrome on hysterosalpingography(HSG). Asherman’s syndrome (AS)which is termed as uterine synechiae, and intrauterine adhesions (IUA),result in trauma to the basal layer of the endometrium with subsequent scarring. This may be from previous pregnancy, dilation and curettage, surgery, or infection such as genital tuberculosis....

The dissociation equilibrium constant for heparin binding to antithrombin III (ATIII) is a measure of the cofactor's binding to and activation of the proteinase inhibitor, and its salt dependence indicates that ionic and non-ionic interactions contribute approximately 40 and approximately 60% of the binding free energy, respectively. We now report that phenylalanines 121 and 122 (Phe-121 and Ph...

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the sensitivity of Candida species isolated from oral candidiasis and diaper dermatitis infections in children. The children referring to private and public clinics in Ilam, Iran were exmined for oral candidiasis and diaper dermatitis. In this study, 248 oral candidiasis and diaper dermatitis samples were collected and cultured.Candida species wer...

Methods The data sources and methods of estimation used in this study are the same as those used for the 1988 calculations. Birth data were taken from publications of the NCHS,5 which obtains birth certificate information from state vital statistics agencies. The most recent NCHS data tabulate race according to the race of the mother rather than the child, and the NCHS has retabulated data from...
