Adenosis occurred in transplanted C57BL and BALB/c mice MÃ1⁄4llerian-derivedreproductive tract regions, cervix, and/or fornix (FX), and middle vagina but never in the urogenital sinus-derived portion of the vagina, after a 1-mo exposure to endogenous ovarian hormones or exogenous estradiol (E2). Grafts in ovariectomized hosts did not exhibit adenosis, confirming its depend ence on estrogen. C57...

Download owing intravascular delivery, an important route of administration for many clinical applications, the s the predominant site of adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) sequestration, thereby posing a risk of toxicity. regard, it has recently been shown that the Ad5 capsid binds to the blood coagulation factor X (FX) e Ad5 hexon protein. This interaction mediates the majority of Ad5 liver transduc...

The use of a "direct PCR" DNA polymerase enables PCR amplification without any prior DNA purification from blood samples due to the enzyme's resistance to inhibitors present in blood components. Such DNA polymerases are now commercially available. We compared the PCR performance of six direct PCR-type DNA polymerases (KOD FX, Mighty Amp, Hemo KlenTaq, Phusion Blood II, KAPA Blood, and BIOTAQ) i...

Let FX(x) be a cumulative distribution function on Ek; k-dimensional Euclidean space, k 1: We assume that FX(x) is absolutely continuous with respect to k-dimensional Lebesgue measure and denote the corresponding probability density function by fX(x): Assume that a random sample of size n has been obtained from FX(x) and denote the realizations by x1; x2; : : : ; xn: In cluster analysis, simila...

Canopy photosynthesis has typically been estimated using mathematical models that have the following assumptions: the light interception inside the canopy exponentially declines with the canopy depth, and the photosynthetic capacity is affected by light interception as a result of acclimation. However, in actual situations, light interception in the canopy is quite heterogenous depending on env...

We test the existence and reveal main properties of commonality in liquidity for foreign exchange (FX) markets at high-frequency level. Accordingly, FX exists even level it has been gradually increasing over last few years. Moreover, increases significantly before (after) ECB (Fed) monetary policy announcements. Finally, a significant positive impact on return series, indicating that an increas...

The directionality of electron transfer in Photosystem I (PS I) is investigated using site-directed mutations in the phylloquinone (QK) and FX binding regions of Synnechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The kinetics of forward electron transfer from the secondary acceptor A1 (phylloquinone) were measured in mutants using time-resolved optical difference spectroscopy and transient EPR spectroscopy. In whole...

This paper describes a prototype for an installation which combines stereographic video and real-time 3D computer graphic to demonstrate a novel method of documenting dance and other performing art practices through multiperspective recording, volumetric geometry reconstruction and universal playback. The fidelity and high level of detail in the video imagery is augmented and completed with the...
