The scalar top discovery potential has been studied for the TESLA project with a full-statistics background simulation at √ s = 500 GeV and L = 500 fb−1. The beam polarization is very important to measure the scalar top mixing angle and to determine its mass. The latest estimation of the beam polarization parameters is applied. This study includes e polarization, which improves the sensitivity....

During the cardiac cycle, cardiogenic oscillations of expired gas (x) concentrations (COS([x])) are generated. At the same time, there are heart-synchronous cardiogenic oscillations of airway flow (COS(flow)), where inflow occurs during systole. We hypothesized that both phenomena, although primarily generated by the heartbeat, would react differently to the cephalad blood shift caused by infla...

OBJECTIVE To compare the depth of curve of Spee (COS) in Class I and II sides of Class II subdivision malocclusion longitudinally and to describe the changes in the COS in relation to dental arch over time. MATERIALS AND METHOD The study group comprised 17 subjects exhibiting Class II subdivision malocclusion. The depth of COS, intermolar width, distances from mesial anatomic contact points o...

The Escherichia coli sn1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase has been successfully expressed in COS cells. The E. coli dgkA locus which contains the coding sequences for DAG kinase was subcloned into an eukaryotic expression vector, pMT2. COS cells transfected with the vector pMT2dgk expressed the DAG kinase as shown by Western analysis. Immunofluorescence studies revealed that the E. coli DAG kinase...

1. Generalized Sphere Theorem As a first application of the critical point theory of distance funciton, we shall prove Theorem 1.1 (Grove-Shiohama). Let (M, g) be a complete simply connected Riemann-ian manifold with K > 1 4 and diam(M, g) ≥ π, then M is homeomorphic to S m. So Grove-Shiohama's theorem implies the sphere theorem. Proof. Let p, q ∈ M so that dist(p, q) = diam(M, g). In what foll...

We examined linkage relationships for RecBC-mediated recombination in lytic cycle crosses of lambda phages bearing two cohesive end sites (cos) oriented in the same direction. The relationships obtained imply that a given recombinant tends to be packaged from the cos site that is the nearer one to the right of the exchange. In view of the previously established coupling of entry of a recombinas...

BACKGROUND Despite the increasing interest in using non-physician clinicians in many low-income countries, little is known about the roles they play in typical health system settings. Prior research has concentrated on evaluating their technical competencies compared to those of doctors. This work explored perceptions of the roles of Kenyan non-physician clinicians (Clinical Officers (COs). M...

Chito-oligosaccharide (COS) is a natural bioactive compound, which has been shown to suppress lipid metabolic genes and lipid accumulation in differentiating adipocytes. Leptin has been identified as a key regulator of energy homeostasis and is known to be under epigenetic regulation during adipogenesis. Hence, the first objective of this experiment was to compare leptin gene (LEP) expression a...

The phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form) (NADPH) oxidase was functionally reconstituted in monkey kidney COS-7 cells by transfection of essential subunits, gp91(phox), p22(phox), p47(phox), and p67(phox). COS-7 cells express the essential small guanosine 5'-triphosphatase, Rac1. Transgenic COS-phox cells were capable of arachidonic acid-induced NADPH oxidase acti...
