Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) eye movements of myasthenia gravis (MG) and nonmyasthenic ocular palsies, and normal subjects were examined under closed-loop and open-loop conditions. The open-loop OKN condition was achieved by adding the signal of eye-movement velocity of OKN to the computer-generated signal controlling the stimulus grating moving. The OKN was recorded by means of electromagnetic ...

A novel blue light-emitting coil-rod-coil triblock oligomer, PEO-PHP-PEO, which consists of para-hexaphenyl (PHP) as the rigid rod and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, M w = 750) as the flexible coil, has been synthesized. It is the first soluble poly(para-phenylene) molecule containing no lateral substituent, which can dissolve not only in organic solvents such as chloroform and THF, but also in wat...

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the New South Wales Rural Hearing Conservation Program on the implementation of personal hearing protection (PHP) and noise management strategies among farmers who had participated in this program in New South Wales, Australia. A follow-up survey of a random sample of people screened through the New South Wales Rural Hearing Conservatio...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is characterized by hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia due to resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH). Patients with PHP-Ia often show additional hormone resistance and characteristic physical features that are collectively termed Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). These features are also present in pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), but patients with...

Oversampled pyramid decompositions have been successfully applied to scalable video coding. Quantization noise feedback at the encoder (\closed-loop coding") has several advantages compared to \open-loop coding" where noise feedback is not included. Finding optimal bit allocations for closed-loop coders is a complex task since the rate-distortion (R D) performance of one quantizer depends on th...

Nonlinear problems are more challenging and almost complex to be solved. A recently developed Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is introduced. This method is used to represent the system as a less complicated (almost linear) model. To verify the effectiveness, HPM based model is compared with the nonlinear dynamic in both open and closed loop PI controlled. The error indices are approximation ...

Hemoglobin released into the circulation during hemolysis or therapy with chemically modified hemoglobins, exert oxidative and NO-scavenging toxic effects. Pyridoxalated hemoglobin polyoxyethylene conjugate (PHP) is one of the second-generation hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). We wanted to investigate the metabolism of PHP with a special focus on its consequences for interpreting hemol...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a group of disorders characterized by end-organ resistance to the parathyroid hormone (PTH). PHP type 1A includes multihormone resistance syndrome, Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy, and obesity and is caused by mutations in GNAS exon 1 through 13. PHP type 1B (PHP1B), caused by epigenetic changes in the GNAS locus, was initially described as an isolated res...

Three new trifluoromethylated p-hydroxyphenacyl (pHP)-caged gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (Glu) derivatives have been examined for their efficacy as photoremovable protecting groups in aqueous solution. Through the replacement of hydrogen with fluorine, e.g., a m-trifluoromethyl or a m-trifluoromethoxy versus m-methoxy substituents on the pHP chromophore, modest increases in the ...
