Proper chromosome segregation in mitosis relies on correct kinetochore-microtubule (KT-MT) interactions. The KT initially interacts with the lateral surface of a single MT (lateral attachment) extending from a spindle pole and is subsequently anchored at the plus end of the MT (end-on attachment). The conversion from lateral to end-on attachment is crucial because end-on attachment is more robu...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possibility of chiral discrimination in the release of enantiomers of ketoprofen (KT) in tablet form and, in turn, the bioavailability of the individual enantiomers, using the rabbit as a model. The enantiomeric concentration of KT in plasma was determined using a customized chiral HPLC analysis. First the plasma concentration-time profile was es...

Knowledge Translation (KT), a core priority in Canadian health research, policy, and practice for the past decade, has a long and rich tradition within Indigenous communities. In Indigenous knowledge systems the processes of "knowing" and "doing" are often intertwined and indistinguishable. However, dominant KT models in health science do not typically recognize Indigenous knowledge conceptuali...

The fatigue life of tubular joints commonly found in offshore industry is not only dependent on the value of Hot-spot stress (HSS), but is also significantly influenced by the through-the-thickness stress distribution characterized by the degree of bending (DoB). The determination of DoB values in a tubular joint is essential for improving the accuracy of fatigue life estimation using the stres...

BACKGROUND The effective and timely integration of the best available research evidence into healthcare practice has considerable potential to improve the quality of provided care. Knowledge translation (KT) approaches aim to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies to address the research-practice gap. However, most KT research has been directed toward implementation strategies that apply c...

Consumption of kombucha fermented tea (KT) has always been associated with different health benefits. Many personal experiences and testimonials of KT drinkers are available throughout the world on the ability of KT to protect against a vast number of metabolic and infectious diseases, but very little scientific evidence is available that validates the beneficial effects of KT. The aim of this ...

An active film composed of chitosan and kombucha tea (KT) was successfully prepared using the solvent casting technique. The effect of incorporation of KT at the levels 1%-3% w/w on the physical and functional properties of chitosan film was investigated. The antimicrobial activity of chitosan/KT film against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated using agar diffusion test, an...

OBJECTIVES To determine the current state of kidney transplantation (KT) training in a country that is leader in organ donation and transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted an online survey by e-mail to 138 urology residents. The survey contained 5 sections: affiliation, training in KT, interest in KT, residents of transplant centers and residents of nontransplant centers. RESULTS...

1. By using the sampling theorem to expand N (t − τ, ω) and h(τ) with respect to τ we obtain: Z(t, ω) = τ k∈Z h(kT) sinc π τ − kT T k∈Z N (t − kT, ω) sinc π τ − kT T dτ = T k∈Z h(kT)N (t − kT, ω) where we used orthogonality of the set of functions {sinc (π(τ − kT)/T)} k∈Z. 2. Since N (τ) is a complex Gaussian random process, for each finite set of epochs t 1 , ..., t K , the random variables {N...
