Abstract We performed fully sampled J = 1–0 line observations of 12CO and 13CO toward the reflection nebula NGC 2023 using Nobeyama 45 m telescope. It covered entire region with angular velocity resolutions 19″ corresponding to 0.04 pc 0.33 km s−1, respectively. analyzed data focusing on gas dynamics revealed two components, each a mass $\sim\! 3000 \mbox{$\, {M}_\odot $}$, at radial velocities...

Networks have become ubiquitous in many real world applications and to cluster similar networks is an important problem. There are various properties of graphs such as clustering coefficient (CC), density, arboricity, etc. We introduce a measure, Clique Conversion Coefficient (CCC), which captures the clique forming tendency of nodes in an undirected graph. CCC could either be used as a weighte...

The elimination of viral covalently closed circular DNA (CCC DNA) from the nucleus of infected hepatocytes is an obstacle to achieving sustained viral clearance during antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The aim of our study was to determine whether treatment with adefovir, a new acyclic nucleoside phosphonate, the prodrug of which, adefovir dipivoxil, is in clinical...

A case study using mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 in recurrent ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) was recently conducted. We report our experience with a patient suffering from recurrent ovarian CCC who achieved long-term disease control with everolimus administration. The patient was a 53-year-old woman who was diagnosed with recurrent ovarian CCC with dissemination throughout the abd...

HE COMMISSION ON CLINICAL CHESIIsTEY (CCC) of 1UPACt in 1965 nominated a Subeommission for Standards and Units ill Clinical Chemistry4 Concerning units, the primary task of the subcommission was to study (1) the individual and iiational efforts to counteract the increasingly chaotic use of quantities and units in clinical chemistry; (2) the current usage in related fields of science, especially...

PURPOSE To evaluate a laser technique and manual technique to perform capsulorrhexis in cataract eyes. METHODS Anterior capsulotomy was performed with an intraocular femtosecond laser (LenSx Lasers Inc) in 54 eyes (FS group) and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis was performed in 57 eyes (CCC group). Circularity and area of capsulotomy and IOL decentration were measured using Photos...

Resistance of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) to platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with poor prognosis, and an effective treatment for advanced disease is urgently needed. HER2/neu is up-regulated more often in CCC than in other histologic types of epithelial ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to assess possible treatment for ovarian CCC with the anti-HER2 antibody trastuz...

OBJECTIVE Drug use and receipt of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were assessed in HIV-infected persons from the Comprehensive Care Center (CCC; Nashville, TN) and Johns Hopkins University HIV Clinic (JHU; Baltimore, MD) between 1999 and 2005. METHODS Participants with and without injection drug use (IDU) history in the CCC and JHU cohorts were evaluated. Additional analysis of p...

Chlormequat (cycocel or CCC), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’. Different concentrations of CCC (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. Data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. The 1500 mg/L of CCC resulted in abou...

Early detection and treatment are critical in the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, there is no standard serum biomarker to facilitate early diagnosis or prognostic stratification in patients with RCC. Recent reports suggest that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have great potential as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in patients with several types of cancers. Further, many...
