Validation of a 5-covariate prognostic index (PI;) (performance status, stage, residual tumor size, histolÃ3gica!grade, and ascitcs) derived from a group of 268 Dutch patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma was performed in a similar study of 301 Danish patients. Analysis of survival suggested an alternative 4-covariate PI (performance status, residual tumor size, age, weight/body surface) for...

Studies on the rate-limiting factors of glycolysis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells have indicated that orthophosphate is the major rate-limiting factor for glycolysis (l-5). Pi presumably influences the rate of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the only glycolytic enzyme known to require Pi. However, recent reports have indicated that Pi may have other important effects on glycolytic sys...

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a membrane protein that can support the binding, internalization, and proteolytic degradation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein. The LOX-1 expression increases in the neointima after balloon injury. To develop an efficient compound to inhibit LOX-1, we designed and synthesized a novel gene silencer pyrrole-imidazole (PI) polya...

Persistently infected (PI) cattle are the reservoir of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), yet data describing BVDV transient infections (TI) among non-PI populations are minimal. Study objectives consisted of: 1. Estimating the onset and duration of TI based on serum VI and rRT-PCR, and 2. Determination of the potential of TI cattle to shed BVDV. Two 21-day studies were performed where one PI ...

Four populations of Pratylenchus penetrans did not differ (P > 0.05) in their virulence or reproductive capability on Lahontan alfalfa. There was a negative relationship (r = -0 .7 9 ) between plant survival and nematode inocula densities at 26 +/- 3 C in the greenhouse. All plants survived at an inoculum level (Pi) of 1 nematode/cm(3) soil, whereas survival rates were 50 to 55% at 20 nematodes...

Data centres use about 250 350 TWh of electric energy per year. About 33% of the data centres power consumption comes from IT equipment. ARM devices are 3 to 4 times more efficient than the traditional x86 based devices [5]. In recent years, ARM processors have been used in small devices such as the Raspberry Pi [23]. The next generation, the Raspberry Pi 2 model B, has a higher clocked quad-co...

Proteinase inhibitor genes are expressed strongly in specific plant tissues under both developmental and environmental regulation. We have studied the role of the 3' control region of the potato proteinase inhibitor II gene (PI-II) that is inducible in leaves in response to herbivore attacks or other severe wounding. Comparison of the terminator from the PI-II gene with two different terminator...
