This paper reports research undertaken to conceptualize, design and implement a system for automatic indexing, classification and repositing of text items, which may be any aggregates of information in English language on a computer readable media, in a standard format. The ultimate goal of the research reported here is to devise all automatic processes which would read text items, and then ind...

We propose a new approach to achieving type-of-service (TOS) with adaptive next-hop routing in wide-area networks such as the Internet. We consider two traac classes, namely delay-sensitive and throughput-sensitive. Our approach uses two FCFS queues at each outgoing link, one for each TOS; the link is shared cyclicly between the two TOS queues. The next-hops for the delay-sensitive traac adapts...

The in vivo analysis of the roles of splicing factors in regulating alternative splicing in animals remains a challenge. Using a microarray-based screen, we identified a Caenorhabditis elegans gene, tos-1, that exhibited three of the four major types of alternative splicing: intron retention, exon skipping, and, in the presence of U2AF large subunit mutations, the use of alternative 3' splice s...

Indomethacin is a member of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, which has great potential for use in the treatment of glioma. However, it induces the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causes molecular damage while inducing its effects. Vitamin E is widely used in the complementary therapy of cancers. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the eff...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate serum paraoxanase-1 (PON) activity, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and the oxidative stress index (OSI) in tinnitus; and to compare the results with data from healthy subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 114 subjects-54 patients with tinnitus and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in this study...
