INTRODUCTION The latest generation of head-mounted displays (HMDs) provides built-in head tracking, which enables estimating position in a room-size setting. This feature allows users to explore, navigate, and move within real-size virtual environments, such as kitchens, supermarket aisles, or streets. Previously, these actions were commonly facilitated by external peripherals and interaction m...

The in vitro and in vivo growth of Con8 cells, a single cell-derived subclone of the 13762NF-transplantable rat mammary adenocarcinoma, is strongly suppressed by glucocorticoid hormones. Hybrids were formed between glucocorticoid-suppressible Con8.hD6 mammary tumor cells (Con8 transfected with the histidinol dehydrogenase selectable marker) and either glucocorticoid-resistant 8RUV7 mammary tumo...

The regulation of al-acid glycoprotein (al-AGP) in rat hepatoma tissue culture (HTC) cells by dexamethasone was assessed by cell-free translation of mRNA and by RNA-DNA hybridization techniques using a cloned double-stranded cDNA probe. The effect of dexamethasone on the mRNA level of aI-AGP was compared with the induction of mammary tumor virus (MTV) mRNA in viral infected HTC cells. The dose-...

Significant changes in aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity occur during rat hepatocarcinogenesis in vivo. To compare the structure and expression of the tumor aldehyde dehydrogenase gene in rat hepatoma cell lines and normal rat liver, several rat hepatoma cell lines, including HTC, H4-H-EC3, JM2, McA-RH7777, and four lines established in this laboratory have been examined for T-ALDH gene ex...

BACKGROUND We established Safeguard the Family (STF) to support Ministry of Health (MoH) scale-up of universal antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-infected pregnant and breastfeeding women (Option B+) and to strengthen the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) cascade from HIV testing and counseling (HTC) through maternal ART provision and post-delivery early infant HIV diagnosis ...

The eco-risk of heavy metal has been a constraint to the resource utilization sludge and biochar, which depends mainly on its chemical form. In recent years, researches speciation distribution metals in biochar have received extensive attention become research hotspot environmental science. this paper, technical characteristics pyrolysis hydrothermal carbonation (HTC) are discussed. Secondly, c...

OBJECTIVES One-in-three men who have sex with men (MSM) surveyed between 2007 and 2010 in Bangkok were HIV infected; 54% of new infections in Thailand are expected to be among MSM. Although MSM are the top internet-accessing population in Thailand, it has not been optimally used to scale up early HIV testing and counselling (HTC) and linkage to treatment. Thailand needs innovative technology-ba...

INTRODUCTION Data from the Option B+ prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program in Malawi show considerable variation between health facilities in retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART). In a programmatic setting, we studied whether the "model of care," based on the degree of integration of antenatal care (ANC), HIV testing and counselling (HTC) and ART service provision-infl...
