Peripheral blood eosinophil counts (EOS) are undetectable in 40% blood samples sent for routine haematology at Papworth Hospital during the first 3 months after heart transplantation (HTx). Increases in EOS usually precede the development of allograft rejection by a median of 4 days. We compared the effects of cyclosporin (dose and total blood concentration), prednisolone (dose and both total a...

New world nonhuman primates of the genus Aotus (owl monkeys) can be categorized by 11 distinct karyotypes (K). It has been demonstrated that monkeys of K-VI persistently have one order of magnitude more eosinophils (EOS) in the peripheral blood than K-I monkeys. The purpose of this study was to investigate the basis for this difference and examine EOS recruitment using two cutaneous models of i...

An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and EOS earth-science investigators is jointly investigating the concept of a modeling and database system (MDBS). MDBS is intended to support large-scale earth science investigations by complementing EOS-DIS in terms of support for high-level modeling and data management. In particular, MDBS is intended to facilitate the iterative development of...

Timing disorders in schizophrenia are a well-known phenomenon. However, no studies have yet assessed the role of temporal distortions in early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), despite evidence that distorted time perception may share genetic risk factors with schizophrenia and may be a useful indicator in identifying individuals at risk for schizophrenia. In the present study, we investigated the abi...

This paper seeks to integrate Michael’s (1982, 1993) discussion of the concept of the establishing operation (EO) with existing conceptual and empirical analyses of problem behavior in people with developmental disabilities. The paper begins with a summary of Michael (1993), which seeks to describe his concept of the EO and place it briefly in historical context. The role of EOs in evoking and ...

The biology of the malignant plasma cells (PCs) in multiple myeloma (MM) is highly influenced by the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment in which they reside. More specifically, BM stromal cells (SCs) are known to interact with MM cells to promote MM cell survival and proliferation. By contrast, it is unclear if innate immune cells within this same space also actively participate in the pathology...

We have developed a “global” crossover (GC) statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) equation of state (EOS) for associating fluids that incorporates nonanalytic scaling laws in the critical region and in the limit of low densities, F f 0, is transformed into the ideal-gas equation EOS. Unlike the crossover SAFT EOS developed earlier, the new GC SAFT EOS contains a so-called kernel term and ...

background: eos is a 2d/3d muscle skeletal diagnostic imaging system. the device has been developed to produce a high quality 2d, full body radiographs in standing, sitting and squatting positions. three dimensional images can be reconstructed via stereos software. this health technology assessment study aimed to investigate efficacy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new emerged eos imag...

It is argued that an irregularity in the baryon stopping is a natural consequence of onset of deconfinement occurring in the compression stage of a nuclear collision. It is an effect of the softest point inherent in an equation of state (EoS) with a deconfinement transition. In order to illustrate this effect, calculations within the three-fluid model were performed with three different EoS’s: ...

n late years the visualization technol gy is used extensively in various research fields, and plays an impo ant role in a mosph ric science research. Gateau, which we have been developing, is a system that helps atmosph ric scientists analyze data by visualizing earth ob servation data used in atmosph ric science research. In this investigation, we have selected HDF-EOS as a data format for Gat...
