Transitions are the glue that holds a paper together. These cohesive allies are needed when a paper “does not flow,” is “choppy,” or seems unrelated to the thesis of their parent essay. Transitions can be simple, such as the following: moreover, therefore, nevertheless, despite, consequently, instead, also. However (that’s another transition), it is better to use transitional phrases, rather th...

A serum-free medium, DH-S1, is described which is valuable for the establishment of primary cultures of normal and malignant transitional epithelium (transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder). Growth of epithelial cells in DH-S1 is facilitated but that of fibroblasts is suppressed. Another established human transitional cell carcinoma cell line, 647V, has grown continually in DH-S1 for over 3...

Biplane left ventricular angiography was performed in 22 patients with isolated obstructive disease of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery and with an anterior aneurysm following transmural myocardial infarction. Six patients were restudied between 6 and 10 months after aneurysmectomy. Left ventricular reserve was estimated by analysis of a spontaneous postextrasystolic b...

Transitional spaces have been widely applied in building designs nowadays, which are present in the form of atria, lobbies, corridors and covered streets. As they have become common features of buildings, they account for 1040% of the total volume in different types of buildings. However, maintaining an acceptable thermal comfort for transitional spaces poses challenges to building designers an...

Phosphotungstic acid at low pH and colloidal iron hydroxide have been used to stain sialic acid residues at the surfaces of the transitional epithelium that covers the human urinary bladder. The staining of surfaces of normal epithelium was compared in the electron microscope to staining of surfaces of cells from noninvasive Grade I transitional cell carcinomas and from higher grades of invasiv...

Transitional justice has typically relied on a handful of mechanisms, including trials, truth commissions, and reparations programmes, in seeking justice after conflict. In many societies, however, these mechanisms have less salience and value than do traditional practices of justice. Often, this occurs in large part because these transitional justice mechanisms have been imported and the commu...

In a longitudinal study, five indicators of a transition in the development of analogical reasoning were examined in young elementary school children, (a) bimodality and (b) inaccessibility in the frequency distributions of test performance, and in the responses of the transitional subjects, respectively, (c) sudden jumps, (d) anomalous variance, and (e) critical slowing down. An open-ended geo...

Transitional expressions provide glue that holds ideas together in a text and enhance the logical organization, which together help improve readability of a text. However, in most current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems, the outputs of compound-complex sentences still lack proper transitional expressions. As a result, the translations are often hard to read and understand. To addr...

Fifteen surgical specimens from patients with carcinoma of the colon and rectum were studied. Scrapings from normal mucosa distant from the tumour and from macroscopically normal mucosa adjacent to the tumour (;transitional') were used for chemical estimation of hexosamines, sialic acid, and proteins. The presence of hexosamines and sialic acid was confirmed in both normal and transitional muco...

Transurethral resection remains the standard for first-line treatment of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. This technique clearly defines the pathologic grade and is essential in determining the clinical stage of the bladder tumor. Intravesical therapy is an important adjunct to transurethral resection in the management of patients with superficial bladder cancer, many of whom are at ...
