Turkish is a highly inflected, agglutinative language in which subject NPs are never overtly casemarked, but object NPs often are. Although all six possible word orders are grammatical when objects are overtly casemarked, only SOV and OVS word orders are grammatical when objects lack overt casemarking. In imitation experiments, Batman-Ratyosyan and Stromswold (1999) found that 4and 5-year-old T...

A total of 226 out of 245 postpartum lactating dairy cows in a commercial dairy farm were allocated to two groups of oestrous synchronisation protocols in order to evaluate reproductive performance. One group was treated with oestradiol benzoate (ODB) and PGF2α on day 10 of the oestrous cycle with insemination at the detected oestrus, the second group underwent the Ovsynch (OVS) protocol (GnRH ...

Oncolytic viruses (OV) selectively replicate and kill cancer cells and spreadwithin the tumor, while not harming normal tissue. In addition to this direct oncolytic activity, OVs are also very effective at inducing immune responses to themselves and to the infected tumor cells. OVs encompass a broad diversity ofDNAandRNAviruses that are naturally cancer selective or can be genetically engineere...

An improved temperature-insensitive optical voltage sensor (OVS) with a reciprocal dual-crystal sensing method is proposed. The inducing principle of OVS reciprocity degradation is expounded by taking the different temperature fields of two crystals and the axis-errors of optical components into consideration. The key parameters pertaining to the system reciprocity degeneration in the dual-crys...

Herein, we developed a facile approach to fabricate oxygen vacancies-mediated TiO2 (OVs-TiO2) nanocrystals via an intrinsic carbon-doping induced strategy. The carbon-doped were firstly synthesized by water-controlled-releasing solvothermal (WCRS) process using ethanol, acetic acid and titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as precursors. was calcined at 325 °C under N2 atmosphere introduce the OVs....

The purpose of the present study was to compare incest offenders (IOs) whose victims include infants or toddlers to IOs with adolescent victims on several variables commonly examined in the sexual offender literature. Participants were 48 men whose youngest victim was less than 6 years of age (younger-victim incest offenders; YVs); and 71 men whose youngest victim was 12 to 16 years of age (old...

A range of dendritic molecules was made using the monodentate SEMI-ESPHOS phosphine oxide ligand, which was derivatised with a series of functional groups including bromide, vinyl, allyl and terminal alkyne. Several methods to attach the resulting precursors onto octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS), ranging from hydrosilylation, Suzuki, Heck, Grubbs or Sonogashira coupling reactions, have been invest...

To examine the involvement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in visuospatial target selection, we induced local, reversible inactivation with muscimol at various sites in the dorsolateral PFC of two rhesus monkeys while they performed oculomotor visual search (OVS) and oculomotor detection (OD) tasks. The OVS task required the subject to select a target stimulus from among distractors...

BACKGROUND Obstructive voiding symptoms (OVS) are common following prostate cancer treatment with radiation therapy. The risk of urinary retention (UR) following hypofractionated radiotherapy has yet to be fully elucidated. This study sought to evaluate OVS and UR requiring catheterization following SBRT for prostate cancer. METHODS Patients treated with SBRT for localized prostate cancer fro...

Ribonuclease A (RNase A) can make multiple contacts with an RNA substrate. In particular, the enzymatic active site and adjacent subsites bind sequential phosphoryl groups in the RNA backbone through Coulombic interactions. Here, oligomers of vinylsulfonic acid (OVS) are shown to be potent inhibitors of RNase A that exploit these interactions. Inhibition is competitive with substrate and has Ki...
