Diabatic ordering of the normal model of a reaction complex along the reaction path has several advantages with regard to adiabatic ordering. The method is based on rotations of the vibrational normal modes at one point, s, of the reaction path to maximize overlap with the vibrational modes at a neighboring point. Global rotations precede the rotations of degenerate modes so that changes in the...

A future production of pork including meat from entire males is a realistic scenario for the major pig producing countries. To ensure that no boar tainted meat reaches the consumers, the only reliable preventive method is to detect and sort out the boar tainted carcasses at the slaughterhouse. One of the prerequisite for sorting at the slaughterhouse is reliable sorting limits based on consumer...

The purpose of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes and analyze biological processes related to leukemia. A meta-analysis was performed using the Rank Product package of Gene Expression Omnibus datasets for leukemia. Next, Gene Ontology-enrichment analysis and pathway analysis were performed using the Gene Ontology website and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. A prot...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of adverse events that had caused patient injury and for which the doctor felt responsible, and the experience of acceptance of criticism among colleagues. DESIGN Self-reports based on postal questionnaires to 1616 doctors. SETTING Norway. PARTICIPANTS A representative sample of 1318 active doctors. RESULTS 368/1294 (28%) reported that they had experi...

The L6 rust resistance gene from flax was cloned after tagging with the maize transposable element Activator. The gene is predicted to encode two products of 1294 and 705 amino acids that result from alternatively spliced transcripts. The longer product is similar to the products of two other plant disease resistance genes, the tobacco mosaic virus resistance gene N of tobacco and the bacterial...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess actual management of heart failure (HF) in Poland, both in outpatient clinics and hospitals. METHODS AND RESULTS The survey was undertaken between April 21 2005 and December 31 2005 in 796 outpatient departments and 258 internal medicine and cardiology hospital wards chosen at random. In total 3980 HF outpatients and 1294 inpatients were included...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the commonest cause of primary hepatocellular (PHC) carcinoma worldwide. Co-infection with the HIV leads to more rapid progression of liver disease. OBJECTIVES We described prevalence of HBV and HIV among patients with PHC admitted to Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. METHODS We assessed all patients admitted to the gastrointestinal service of Mulago ho...

Article history: Received 12 January 2015 Available online 10 March 2015 We investigated whether goal engagement and disengagement in coping with occupational uncertainty (e.g., perceptions of growing difficulties in career planning and lacking job opportunities) predicts three objective career-related outcomes: job loss, job finding, and income change. We also tested for the buffering effects ...

OBJECTIVE Common chronic diseases such as hypertension are costly and difficult to manage. Our ultimate goal is to use data from electronic health records to predict the risk and timing of deterioration in hypertension control. Towards this goal, this work predicts the transition points at which hypertension is brought into, as well as pushed out of, control. METHOD In a cohort of 1294 patien...
