Atmospheric moisture transport is the primary component of atmospheric branch water cycle, and its anomalies strongly influence drought precipitation extremes. We utilised full geographical temporal spectrum ERA-5 reanalysis data extreme value theory to identify regions where transport, quantified as local integrated vertical (IVT), influences daily precipitation, this has a relevant dynamic co...

BACKGROUND Small biological samples obtained from biopsies or laser microdissection often do not yield sufficient RNA for successful microarray hybridization; therefore, RNA amplification is performed before microarray experiments. We compared 2 commonly used techniques for RNA amplification. METHODS We compared 2 commercially available methods, Arcturus RiboAmp for in vitro transcription (IV...

The classical Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT) states that if f is a continuous real-valued function on an interval [a, b] ⊆ R and if y is a real number strictly between f(a) and f(b), then there exists a real number x ∈ (a, b) such that f(x) = y. The standard counterexample showing that the converse of the IVT is false is the function f defined on R by f(x) := sin( 1 x ) for x 6= 0 and f(0) :=...

Background and Objectives Human rotavirus (RV) is responsible for most cases of acute gastroenteritis in infants, worldwide. Today, in vitro transcription (IVT) assay is widely used to develop efficient RNA for the biological experiments such as gene function analysis and reverse genetics. The aim of this study was to develop optimal full-length transcripts of the VP7 segment, using in vitro tr...

OBJECTIVE To report the use of intravitreal (IVT) injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-VEGF) and its complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD The authors performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients treated with IVT injection of anti-VEGF between May 2006 and December 2010 at Chiang Mai University Hospital. Demographic data and complications were registered...

BACKGROUND Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), is the second-most common disorder after diabetic retinopathy that threatens the vision related to retinal vessels. One of the main reasons of vision loss is CRVO in acute and chronic forms. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the response to intravitreal injection of triamcinolone, bevacizumab, and a combined form in patients w...

Background Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) are both important treatments for large‐vessel occlusion stroke. However, it is still unclear how the timing of IVT, EVT, need transfer a patient to an stroke center EVT affect outcomes. In this investigation, we study interaction between rapidity among patients with Methods This investigation analysis OPUS‐REACH (Optimizi...

Previously, few, if any, comparative tests of performance of Jackwerth’s (1997) generalized binomial tree (GBT) and Derman and Kani (1994) implied volatility tree (IVT) models were done. In this paper, we propose five different weight functions in GBT and test them empirically compared to both the Black-Scholes model and IVT. We use the daily settlement prices of FTSE-100 index options from Jan...

BACKGROUND Patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke are at risk of developing complications, commonly necessitating admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). At present, most IVT is administered in the Emergency Department or in dedicated stroke units, but no evidence-based criteria exist that allow for early identification of patients at increased risk of de...

We have developed a procedure to amplify mRNA into sense RNA (sRNA) so as to create a regenerating biorepository representing the complex mRNA profile in the original sample. The procedure exploits the template-switching activity of reverse transcriptase to incorporate RNA polymerase binding sites upstream of single-stranded cDNA (ss cDNA). Limited PCR was used for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) s...
