OBJECTIVES Growth standards and references currently used to assess population and individual health are derived primarily from urban populations, including few individuals from indigenous or subsistence groups. Given environmental and genetic differences, growth may vary in these populations. Thus, there is a need to assess whether international standards are appropriate for all populations, a...

In pre-B cells, immunoglobulin mu (Ig mu) is associated with pre-B cell-specific proteins to form a multimeric complex that is found on the cell surface. One of these proteins is encoded by the three exon Ig lambda-like gene 14.1, whose expression is restricted to pre-B cells and occurs from an unrearranged gene. A comparison of the 14.1 gene structure to the seven-gene human Ig lambda locus re...

We apply BayeSN, our new hierarchical Bayesian model for the SEDs of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), to analyse $griz$ light curves 157 nearby SNe ($0.015<z<0.08$) from public Foundation DR1 dataset. train a version continuous 0.35--0.95 $\mu$m, which we use properties in rest-frame $z$-band, study dust their host galaxies, and construct Hubble diagram SN distances determined full curves. Our has ...

The glueballs lead to gluon and QCD monopole condensations as by-products of color confinement. A dielectric function $G(|\phi|)$ coupled with Abelian gauge field is properly defined mediate the glueball interactions at confining regime after {\it spontaneous symmetry breaking} (SSB) symmetry. particles are expected form through quark plasma (QGP) hadronization phase where free quarks gluons st...

Conversion between duplicated genes limits their independent evolution. Models in which conversion frequencies decrease as genes diverge are examined to determine conditions under which genes can "escape" further conversion and hence escape from a gene family. A review of results from various recombination systems suggests two classes of sequence-dependence models: (1) the "k-hit" model in whic...

The characterization of the gravitational field isolated objects is still an open question in quadratic theories gravity. We study static equilibrium solutions for a self-gravitating fluid extensions General Relativity including terms Weyl tensor $C_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}$ and Ricci scalar $R$, as suggested by one-loop corrections to classical By means shooting method procedure we link total mass s...

PURPOSE To determine serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) levels in healthy Chinese adults, establish reference ranges for serum IGF-I levels and observe the effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and geographical region on serum IGF-I levels. METHODS In total, 2791 healthy adults (1339 males and 1452 females) from the north (Beijing) and south (Guizhou Province) of China were recru...

The main aim of this paper is to analyse minimally-coupled scalar-fields -- quintessence and phantom as the candidates explain accelerated expansion universe compare its observables current cosmological observations; a byproduct we present python module. This work includes parameter $\epsilon$ which allows incorporate both fields within same analysis. Examples potentials, so far included, are $...

OBJECTIVE The characteristics of response time (RT) distributions beyond measures of central tendency were explored in 3 attention tasks across groups of young adults, healthy older adults, and individuals with very mild dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT). METHOD Participants were administered computerized Stroop, Simon, and switching tasks, along with psychometric tasks that tap various ...
