Question 1. (1) Write f(x) = amx m + am−1xm−1 + · · ·+ a0. Then F = f(T ) = amT + am−1Tm−1 + · · ·+a0I. Since T is upper triangular, (T )ii = T k ii for all positive k and i ∈ {1, . . . , n}. Hence Fii = amT m ii + am−1T m−1 ii + · · ·+ a0 = f(Tii). (2) TF = Tf(T ) = T (amT m+am−1Tm−1+ · · ·+a0I) = amT+am−1T+ · · ·+a0T = (amT m + am−1Tm−1 + · · ·+ a0I)T = f(T )T = FT . (3) Since T is upper tria...

The photochemical aminomethyltrimethyl psoralen (AMT), in conjunction with UV A light (UVA), has been shown to inactivate human immunodeficiency virus-1 and model viruses in platelet suspensions under conditions that have only a minimal effect on in vitro platelet properties. A rabbit ear bleeding time technique was used to assess the hemostatic effectiveness of human platelet suspensions treat...

BACKGROUND To investigate the effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) on improving the outcomes of trabeculectomy in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Fifty-nine eyes affected by primary open-angle glaucoma were enrolled in this prospective randomized study. Thirty-two eyes underwent amnion-shielded trabeculectomy (study group) and 27 eyes underwent trabeculectomy w...

Transcranial magnetic studies typically rely on measures of active and resting motor threshold (i.e. AMT, RMT). Previous work has demonstrated that adaptive threshold hunting approaches are efficient for estimating RMT. To date, no study has compared motor threshold estimation approaches for measures of AMT, yet this measure is fundamental in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies that...

Auron-Misheil-Therapy (AMT) consisting of aqueous camomile extract supplemented with calcium, vitamins, the antihistamine chlorpheniramine and human insulin is under development as anti-cancer treatment. AMT was preclinically investigated in tumour cell lines and tumour xenografts to guide clinical phase I/II studies. AMT was tested against 56 human tumour cell lines, in a clonogenic assay in 9...

This half-day workshop will demonstrate how to build custom web-based experiments that rely on participants from Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). Attendees will learn how to deploy web-based experiments using PsiTurk, a Pythonbased platform that simplifies the process of setting up experiments and interacting with AMT. Workshops discussing the AMT marketplace have been offered at previous Cognitiv...

PURPOSE To report the results of the management of painfully symptomatic postoperative bullous keratopathy (PBK) by performing a nonpreserved human amniotic membrane (NP-AMT) transplantation in nine eyes with poor visual potential. METHODS A prospective, comparative, nonrandomized management of symptomatic PBK was done by performing a complete corneal de-epithelialization followed by a NP-AMT...

The existence of dopamine (DA)-melatonin (aMT) relationships is well documented in several brain areas of the mammalian central nervous system such as the retina and hypothalamus or the nigrostriatal system. For instance, aMT tempers 1 methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced nigrostriatal damage in C57BL/6 mice. In this mouse strain however, rhythmic production of aMT and its possibl...
