1. Introduction As the title of this paper shows, the objective of the deliverable is to publish the results of a test on microaggregation techniques implemented in µ-Argus 3.2 using real data and, more specifically, business data, a new aspect in the analysis. Particulary, it has been tested the microaggregation method that, according to the present bibliography, has provided the best results....

A key challenge HCl researchers face when designing a controlled experiment is choosing the appropriate number of participants, or sample size. priori power analysis examines relationships among multiple parameters, including complexity associated with human e.g., order and fatigue effects, to calculate statistical given design. We created Argus, tool that supports interactive exploration power...

Abstract Background Directly observed Therapy (DOT) has proven to be a valuable asset used in ascertaining adherence tuberculosis (TB) medications, methadone, psychiatric medications and HIV medications. Both TB share the need of treatment avoid resistance. However, unlike TB, must taken for life. Argus Community (Argus DOT) provides Observed assist with medication positive patients barriers wh...

Head-down bed rest (HDBR) increases plasma levels of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) and decreases norepinephrine levels. We have previously demonstrated that ANP promotes lipid mobilization and utilization, an effect independent of sympathetic nervous system activation, when infused into lean healthy men at pharmacological doses. The purpose of the current study was to demonstrate that a phys...

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

BACKGROUND Weight loss has been shown to reduce risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes; however, successful maintenance of weight loss continues to pose a challenge. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to assess whether changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue (scAT) gene expression during a low-calorie diet (LCD) could be used to differentiate and predict subject...

Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic compound suggested to have anti-diabetic properties. Surprisingly, little is known regarding the effects of RSV supplementation on adipose tissue (AT) metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of RSV on mitochondrial content and respiration, glyceroneogenesis (GNG), and adiponectin secretion in adipose tissue from Zucker diabetic...

In this paper, the semileptonic decays of heavy mesons are treated fully relativis-tically. By means of an effective vertex, the effect of Fermi momentum are included both at the inclusive and at the exclusive levels, and the spin of both parent and daughter particles are taken into account. The differential decay rates with respect to the lepton energy and momentum transfer are compared with d...
