Telomeres are generally considered heterochromatic. On the basis of DNA composition, the telomeric region of Drosophila melanogaster contains two distinct subdomains: a subtelomeric region of repetitive DNA, termed TAS, and a terminal array of retrotransposons, which perform the elongation function instead of telomerase. We have identified several P-element insertions into this retrotransposon ...

Bifidobacteria are colonizers of the human gut, where they are interacting with their host as well as with other members of the intestinal microbiota. Teichoic acids (TAs) have previously been shown to play an important role in modulating microbe-host interactions in the human gut. However, so far, there is a paucity of information regarding the presence of TAs in the cell envelope of bifidobac...

Introduction: Mass lesions are seen in the uterus in 15 to 20% of women in the reproductive age group. Transabdominal(TAS) ultrasound(USG) is the screening imaging modality of choice. Definitive characterisation of the site, location, endometrial distorsion and number of lesions are important to decide on the treatment Aims and objectives: We compared the sensitivity and specificity of Magnetic...

The trace amines (TAs), tryptamine, tyramine, and β-phenylethylamine, are synthesized from precursor amino acids via aromatic-L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). We explored their role in the neuromodulation of neonatal rat spinal cord motor circuits. We first showed that the spinal cord contains the substrates for TA biosynthesis (AADC) and for receptor-mediated actions via trace amine-associat...

Trace amines (TAs) are a class of endogenous compounds strictly related to classic monoamine neurotransmitters with regard to their structure, metabolism, and tissue distribution. Although the presence of TAs in mammalian brain has been recognized for decades, until recently they were considered to be by-products of amino acid metabolism or as "false" neurotransmitters. The discovery in 2001 of...

TAS-102, a novel oral antitumor agent, consists of trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (molar ratio, 1:0.5). We investigated the effects of food on trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride. The efficacy and safety of TAS-102 were evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumors. We analyzed drug pharmacokinetics using a randomized, single-dose, two-treatment (fed versus fasting), two-perio...

OBJECTIVE Adolescence is a period of developing emotional regulation. However, alexithymia has rarely been examined during this period. The objective of this study is to examine the factor structure and internal consistency of the Korean version of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20K) in normal adolescents in South Korea. METHODS The TAS-20K was administered to a sample of 290 adol...

Here we use low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to reveal the roles of narrow electronic band in two 1$T$-TaS$_2$ related materials (bulk 4$H_{\rm b}$-TaS$_2$). b}$-TaS$_2$ is a superconducting compound with alternating 1$H$-TaS$_2$ layers, where layer has weak charge density wave (CDW) pattern reduces CDW coupling between adjacent layers. In b}$-TaS$_2$, observe loca...

This paper presents the average capacity and error performance of 3×4 orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC) and transmits antenna selection (TAS) with multiple antennas. In TAS scheme, we consider one transmit antenna is selected for transmit signals at the secondary transmitters and the secondary receiver applies the maximum likelihood (ML). In 3×4 OSTBC scheme, we consider three transmit a...

Most location-aware mobile applications only make use of the user’s current location, but there is an opportunity for them to infer the user’s future locations. We present Trajectory-Aware Search (TAS), a mobile local search application that predicts the user’s destination in real-time based on location data from the current trip and shows search results near the predicted location. TAS demonst...
