Long-grain rice cultivars Cocodrie, Wells, and XP 723 grown in three locations (Hazen, MO; Essex and Newport, AR, USA), and medium-grain rice cultivars Bengal and XP 713 grown in two locations (Jonesboro and Lodge Corner, AR, USA), were harvested and assayed for susceptibility to Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), the lesser grain borer, and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera...

The synthesis of trans-[{Rh(μ-Cl)(CO)(coe)}2] (1) was described by Varshavsky et al. some years ago [1, 2], but no crystal structure of this compound was reported. In an attempt to probe a possible convenient synthesis of [{Rh(μ-Cl)(CO)2}2] from the precursor [{Rh(μ-Cl)(coe)2}2] and carbon monoxide in diethyl ether, we found that the target complex was not available by this method. Instead, the...

Mammography is currently used to screen women in targeted risk classes for breast cancer. Computer assisted diagnosis of mammograms attempts to lower the workload on radiologists by either automating some of their tasks or acting as a second reader. The task of mammogram segmentation based on pixel intensity is addressed in this thesis. The mammographic process leads to images where intensity i...

BACKGROUND We aimed to estimate the prevalence of refractory hypertension (RfH) and to determine the clinical differences between these patients and resistant hypertensives (RH). Secondly, we assessed the prevalence of white-coat RfH and clinical differences between true- and white-coat RfH patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The present analysis was conducted on the Spanish Ambulatory Blood Pressu...

Introduction Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy with very poor prognosis. Conventional chemotherapy only rarely prolongs the survival, therefore patients require novel treatment modalities. The discovery of specific receptors for hypothalamic hormones on cancer cells has led to the development of radiolabeled and cytotoxic hormone analogs. Materials and meth...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Instability of hemoglobin levels during epoetin therapy is a new problem in hemodialysis. We evaluated extent and correlates of time in target, that is, the time spent with hemoglobin > or = 11 g/dl during the first year of epoetin and its association with renal survival. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Data were collected in 917 visits for 12.0 mo in 1...
