PURPOSE The G1-TOP program is a short automated perimetric strategy which sub-divides the G1 grid of 59 points into four sub-grids. Each point is tested only once, but each patient's response is used to modify that particular point and the surrounding ones from the remaining sub-grids. This study compared the results of the G1-TOP program with the Standard Bracketing strategy. METHODS Eleven ...

Let G1 and G2 be graphs of order n with maximum degree ∆1 and ∆2, respectively. G1 and G2 are said to pack if there exist injective mappings of the vertex sets into [n], such that the images of the edge sets do not intersect. Sauer and Spencer showed that if ∆1∆2 < n 2 , then G1 and G2 pack. We extend this result by showing that if ∆1∆2 ≤ n2 , then G1 and G2 do not pack if and only if one of G1...

Expanding on a recent definition by Bialostocki and Voxman, we define the rainbow ramsey number RR(G1, G2) of two graphs G1 and G2 to be the minimum integer N such that any edge-coloring of the complete graph KN with any number of colors must contain either a copy of G1 with every edge the same color or a copy of G2 with every edge a different color. This number is well-defined if G1 is a star ...

Purpose: The GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) scale, a 4-point has been most widely used for judging auditory-perceptual severity dysphonia. However, in current clinical practice, sometimes more fragmented 0.5 scheme is being if the original scale ambiguous to assess. Thus, aim of present study was compare dysphonia using three evaluation tools, 4-point, 7-point and CAPEV...

We have previously reported that the hEAG K(+) channels are responsible for the potential membrane hyperpolarization that induces human breast cancer cell progression into the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In the present study, we evaluate the role and functional expression of the intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel, hIK1-like, in controlling cell cycle progression. Our results...

We have investigated the oligomerization and intracellular transport of the membrane glycoproteins of Punta Toro virus, a member of the Phlebovirus genus of the family Bunyaviridae, which is assembled by budding in the Golgi complex. By using one- or two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, chemical cross-linking, and sucrose gradient centrifugation, we found t...

The membrane glycoproteins G1 and G2 of the members of the Bunyaviridae family are synthesized as a precursor from a single open reading frame. Here, we have analyzed the processing and membrane insertion of G1 and G2 of a member of the Phlebovirus genus, Uukuniemi virus. By expressing C-terminally truncated forms of the p10 precursor containing the whole of G1 and decreasing portions of G2, we...
