Phosphotungstic acid at low pH and colloidal iron hydroxide have been used to stain sialic acid residues at the surfaces of the transitional epithelium that covers the human urinary bladder. The staining of surfaces of normal epithelium was compared in the electron microscope to staining of surfaces of cells from noninvasive Grade I transitional cell carcinomas and from higher grades of invasiv...

Transitional justice has typically relied on a handful of mechanisms, including trials, truth commissions, and reparations programmes, in seeking justice after conflict. In many societies, however, these mechanisms have less salience and value than do traditional practices of justice. Often, this occurs in large part because these transitional justice mechanisms have been imported and the commu...

In a longitudinal study, five indicators of a transition in the development of analogical reasoning were examined in young elementary school children, (a) bimodality and (b) inaccessibility in the frequency distributions of test performance, and in the responses of the transitional subjects, respectively, (c) sudden jumps, (d) anomalous variance, and (e) critical slowing down. An open-ended geo...

Transitional expressions provide glue that holds ideas together in a text and enhance the logical organization, which together help improve readability of a text. However, in most current statistical machine translation (SMT) systems, the outputs of compound-complex sentences still lack proper transitional expressions. As a result, the translations are often hard to read and understand. To addr...

Fifteen surgical specimens from patients with carcinoma of the colon and rectum were studied. Scrapings from normal mucosa distant from the tumour and from macroscopically normal mucosa adjacent to the tumour (;transitional') were used for chemical estimation of hexosamines, sialic acid, and proteins. The presence of hexosamines and sialic acid was confirmed in both normal and transitional muco...

Transurethral resection remains the standard for first-line treatment of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. This technique clearly defines the pathologic grade and is essential in determining the clinical stage of the bladder tumor. Intravesical therapy is an important adjunct to transurethral resection in the management of patients with superficial bladder cancer, many of whom are at ...

contextual interference is defined as interference in performance and learning that arise from practicing one task in the context of other tasks. transitional practice is a kind of practice sequence that starts out with trials of large blocks; then moves to smaller random blocks, and eventually finishes with complete randomization. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ‘transit...

In this study we present results of investigations of progesterone and estrogen receptors in most frequent, WHO grade I histological types of meningiomas (meningothelial, fibrous, and transitional) and in atypical--WHO grade II variant of these tumors. Samples from 64 tumors were examined. The cohort consisted of 46 WHO grade I (21 transitional, 13 fibrous and 12 meningothelial histologic varia...

The transitional Reynolds numbers for different patterns are available and a proposed transitional map is also provided in this paper. The transition of falling-films on flat tubes is studied in this work. Water and ethylene glycol are used as working fluids, for falling-film experiments conducted under adiabatic conditions, without an imposed vapor flow. The flow patterns are recorded using a ...

OBJECTIVES To test whether the position of lumbosacral dermatomes varies in the presence of transitional vertebrae. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty consecutive male patients were tested for thoracolumbar and lumbosacral transitional vertebrae by radiography and for the position of the dermatome gap between the lumbar dermatomes L1, L2, L3, and the sacral dermatomes S2 and S3. The dermatome gap was...
