Cells of a high CO(2)-requiring mutant (E(1)) and wild type of Synechococcus PCC7942 were incubated with COS in the light, then suspended in COS-free medium and their CO(2) exchange was measured using an open gas-analysis system under the conditions where photosynthetic CO(2) fixation is inhibited. When the suspension of cells untreated with COS was illuminated, the rate of CO(2) uptake was hig...

INTRODUCTION The orthodontic technique favored by a clinician frequently determines how a deep curve of Spee (COS) is leveled. The primary purpose of this investigation was to confirm radiographically the long-term effectiveness of a continuous archwire technique--the Alexander discipline--in leveling the COS in patients with Class II Division 1 deep-bite malocclusions treated without extractio...

Este estudio evaluó el secuestro de carbono orgánico del suelo (COS) en cuatro coberturas vegetales (vegetación secundaria [VS], plantaciones forestales Eucalyptus globulus [EUC] y Pinus patula [PIN] pasturas [PAS]) su correlación con las propiedades fisicoquímicas suelo. Se tomaron muestras a dos profundidades horizonte A (0-10 10-20 cm). Igualmente, se midieron variables para evaluar relación...

Background A systematic review of core outcome sets (COS) identified 198 COS [1]. A range of methods were used to develop COS. Furthermore, 164/178 studies that described the methods used did not provide an explanation regarding their choice of methodology. There is little guidance about how to conduct or report COS studies and it is currently uncertain which of these methods are the most suita...

BACKGROUND Catheter-related infections (CRIs) caused by peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are an increasingly common iatrogenic complication. To prevent this, recommended timelines for routine replacement of PIVCs have increased from 48 h to 72 h and subsequently to 96 h, despite a lack of supporting scientific evidence. AIM To compare closed-system (COS) PIVCs with open-system (MOS) P...

PURPOSE After a century, cheiro-oral syndrome (COS) was harangued and emphasized for its localizing value and benign course in recent two decades. However, an expanding body of case series challenged when COS may arise from an involvement of ascending sensory pathways between cortex and pons and terminate into poor outcome occasionally. MATERIALS AND METHODS To analyze the location, underlyin...

the aim of this study was to examine reality testing in schizophrenic children and compare it with normal children using minus responses subcomponent in ego impairment index of the rorschach test.in a descriptive design, 20 accidentally sampled children, including 10 schizophrenic and 10 normal children, were recruited in to two groups and were compared in terms of reality testing subcomponent ...

We investigated the protective effects and mechanisms of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) on experimental autoimmune anterior uveitis (EAAU) in rats. EAAU was induced in Lewis rats by footpad and intraperitoneal injections of melanin-associated antigen. The rats received intraperitoneal injections of low-dose (5 mg/kg) or high-dose (10 mg/kg) COS or PBS daily after the immunization. The effects ...

This lecture covers the basics of core concepts in probability and statistics to be used in the course. These include random variables, continuous and discrete distributions, joint and conditional distributions, the chain rule, marginalization, Bayes Rule, independence and conditional independence, and expectation. Probability models are discussed along with the concepts of independently and id...
