The thyroid hormone receptor (TR) and the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) induce gene expression in the presence of specific ligand and repress transcription in the absence of hormone. This repression is mediated by an active silencing mechanism rather then by interference with DNA binding activators. V-erbA, a variant form of TR which is unable to bind hormone, represents a constitutive repressor...

We present the CR-precis structure, that is a general-purpose, deterministic and sub-linear data structure for summarizing update data streams. The CR-precis structure yields the first deterministic sub-linear space/time algorithms for update streams for answering a variety of fundamental stream queries, such as, (a) point queries, (b) range queries, (c) finding approximate frequent items, (d) ...

AIMS Research shows that users of ecstasy (MDMA) exhibit deficits in executive processes. The updating component appears to be particularly susceptible. Less is known about the precise nature of such deficits. The present study sought to determine if ecstasy-related deficits in memory updating are related to serial position of items presented, or length of the list of items. METHOD Seventy-th...

BACKGROUND The objective was to solve two problems of an already validated scale measuring inpatient opinion on care: 1) a high non-response rate for some items due to the "not applicable" response option and 2) a skewed score distribution with high ceiling effect. METHODS The EQS-H scale ("échelle de qualité des soins en hospitalisation") comprised 26 items and 2 sub-scales of 13 items each,...
