Reduced activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is a risk marker for incident and recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE). Genetic factors influencing aPTT are not well understood, especially in populations of non-European ancestry. The present study aimed to identify aPTT-related gene variants in both European Americans (EAs) and African Americans (AAs). We conducted a genetic association ...

Pokémon Go is a hybrid reality game (HRG) that research suggests played by families in the context of joint-media engagement. Yet, interface itself provides little information about how to approach game. Given this and fact many parents play HRG with their young children, we examine process parent online social learning Go. Drawing on an original study conducted between August November 2019, in...

Multiagent decision making is a typical decision problem in the changing world. We propose a new framework, including multiply sectioned influence diagrams (MSID) and hyper relevance graph (HRG), to represent this large and complex decision problem involving multiple agents. An MSID is an agency graphical language for representing decision problems in a distributed fashion while an HRG expresse...

Habel, A., H.-J. Kreowski and W. Vogler, Decidable boundedness problems for sets of graphs generated by hyperedge-replacement, Theoretical Computer Science 89 (1991) 33-62. Consider a class GZ of hyperedge-replacement graph grammars and a numeric function on graphs like the number of edges, the degree (i.e., the maximum of the degrees of all nodes of a graph), the number of simple paths, the si...

In this article, we present the use of the Automatic Ground control points Extraction technique (AGE) for increasing the automation in the geometric correction of high-resolution satellite imagery. The method is based on an image-to-image matching between the satellite data and an already geocoded image (i.e., a digital orthophoto). By using an adaptive least squares matching algorithm which im...

Base-unpairing regions (BURs) contain a specialized DNA context with an exceptionally high unwinding propensity, and are typically identified within various matrix attachment regions. A BUR affinity column was used to purify a doublet of Mr 20,000 proteins from human breast carcinoma cells. These proteins were identified as the high-mobility group (HMG) protein, HMG-I, and its splicing variant,...

Numerous researches demonstrated the possibility of derivation of Schwann-like (SC-like) cells in vitro from bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). However, the concentration of the induce factors were different in those studies, especially for the critical factors forskolin (FSK) and β-heregulin (HRG). Here, we used a new and useful method to build an integrated microfluidic chip for rapid analyse...

Intravenous (IV) iron is the mainstay of treatment for deficiency anemia (IDA), when oral cannot be used or there a need rapid delivery. Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) widely IV preparation known to cause moderate/severe hypophosphatemia (serum phosphate <0.65mmol/L; <2mg/dL) in up 75% patients. This study aimed analyze length hospital stay (LoS) and related cost inpatients with no/mild versus pos...

Although human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression is implicated in tumor progression for a variety of cancer types, how it dysregulates signaling networks governing cell behavioral functions is poorly understood. To address this problem, we use quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze dynamic effects of HER2 overexpression on phosphotyrosine signaling in human mammary epi...
