The propagation characteristics of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) through a rhodamine 6 G-doped polymethyl methacrylate freestanding film waveguide were studied. This was done by shifting the excitation stripe horizontally along a transversely pumped waveguide. By this method, we could tune the ASE wavelength. The maximum tunability thus obtained was approximately 18 nm with a pump stripe...

The purpose of this study was to measure the ICT competency levels and academic self-efficacy perception preservice teachers determine if those were a significant predictor their self-efficacy. For purpose, data obtained from 411 volunteer students studying in second, third, fourth grades Teacher Training Undergraduate Programs at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Education Faculty. In total,...

ACC/AHA/ASE 2003 Guideline Update for the Clinical Application of Echocardiography: Summary Article A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (ACC/AHA/ASE Committee to Update the 1997 Guidelines for the Clinical Application of Echocardiography) Committee Members: Melvin D. Cheitlin, MD, MACC, Chair, William F. Armstrong, MD, FACC...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate image quality and diagnostic accuracy in detecting coronary artery lesions using a 16-MDCT scanner. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-seven patients (28 men, nine women) underwent unenhanced helical CT and MDCT angiography of the coronary arteries. After patients received oral beta-blocker medication, CT scans were obtained during a single breath-...

MOTIVATION Allele-specific expression (ASE) is a useful way to identify cis-acting regulatory variation, which provides opportunities to develop new therapeutic strategies that activate beneficial alleles or silence mutated alleles at specific loci. However, multiple problems hinder the identification of ASE in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. RESULTS We developed cisASE, a likelihood-b...

W E know from the work of Holtzer, Marshall, & Finck (1957), who used a fluorescent antibody staining technique, that by the end of the second day of development in the chick (stage 13, Hamburger & Hamilton, 1951) myosin begins to be identifiable in the myoblast cells of the somites. We have no information so far, however, about the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase in the somites at thi...

The acid saline extract (ASE) of rat submaxillary gland exerts a powerful degrading effect on 125I-glucagon. In order to study the degradation of other 125I-peptides by ASE and the effects of their inhibitors, 125I-pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and 125I-insulin were used together with 125I-glucagon. The degradation studies were done by the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) method or gel filtration. Besi...

We read with great interest the letter of Sodemann et al. on successful treatment of a patient with refractory absence status epilepticus (ASE) with lacosamide (LCM). In particular, Sodemann et al. reported the case of a 64-year-old male with juvenile absence epilepsy (he was on 400 mg/day lamotrigine, 400 mg/day topiramate and 2500 mg/day levetiracetam; plasma concentrations were not investiga...
