This paper generalizes properties of mixtilinear incircles. Let (S) be any circle in the plane of triangle ABC. Suppose there are circles (Sa), (Sb), and (Sc) each tangent internally to (S); and (Sa) is inscribed in angle BAC (similarly for (Sb) and (Sc)). Let the points of tangency of (Sa), (Sb), and (Sc) with (S) be X, Y , and Z, respectively. Then it is shown that the lines AX, BY , and CZ m...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the conversion of opioid-experienced patients with chronic moderate-to-severe pain to extended-release morphine sulfate with sequestered naltrexone hydrochloride (MSN) using a standardized conversion guide. METHODS This open-label, single-arm study was conducted in 157 primary care centers in the United States. A total of 684 opioid-experienced adults with chronic modera...

The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) constitutes the major subdivision of the ventral striatum and it plays an important role in the reward circuit. It is also considered as the major site of action for many drugs of abuse. The principal neuronal cell type in the NAcc is the Medium Spiny Neuron (MSN), which is its primary output cell. MSNs perform a central role in sensorimotor processing by integratin...

The Manhattan Street Network (MSN) with the Clockwork Routing scheme has been proposed as a particularly suitable candidate for use in optical networks. However, without any medium access control (MAC), the success of the MSN with Clockwork Routing in optical networks would be inhibited by the destination-release protocol, since the protocol provides no guarantee of fair access or bounded traff...

Optical packet switching over arbitrary physical topologies typically mandates complex routing schemes and the use of buffers to resolve the likely contentions. However, the relatively immature nature of optical logic devices and the limitations with optical buffering provide significant incentive to reduce the routing complexity and avoid optical domain contentions. This paper examines how the...

(31)P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was assessed to investigate the phosphorus-containing compounds present in the tissues of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata as well as of cultured zooxanthellae (CZ). Results showed that phosphorus-containing compounds observed in CZ were mainly phosphate and phosphate esters. Phosphate accounted for 19 ± 2% of the total phosphorus compounds ob...

Stationary-to-migratory transitions of epithelial cells have a key role in development and tumour progression. Border cell migration is a powerful system in which to investigate this transition in living organisms. Here, we identify the Ste20-like kinase misshapen (msn) as a novel regulator of border-cell migration in Drosophila. Expression of msn in border cells is independent of the transcrip...
