The mouse mutant Doublefoot (Dbf) shows preaxial polydactyly with 6-9 triphalangeal digits in all four limbs and additional abnormalities including a broadened skull, hydrocephalus, and a thickened, kinked tail. The autopod undergoes a characteristic expansion between late embryonic day (E) 10.5 and E11.5, following the onset of ectopic Indian hedgehog (Ihh) expression in the entire distal mese...

Background Infant feeding may consist of direct breastfeeding (DBF), pumping and bottle feeding (P&F), formula feeding (FF), solid food feeding (SFF), and any combination. An accurate evaluation of infant feeding requires descriptions of different patterns, consistency, and transition over time. Methods In United States of America, the Infant Feeding Practice Study II collected information on...

In this paper, a DBF (Digital Beamforming) monopulse technique & system with ability of multitarget tracking is presented based on antenna array and digital signal processing. The scheme of the DBF monopulse tracking system is given. The sum & difference beams and corresponding angle error signal of the monopulse system are formed by data processing in baseband. Algorithms for the forming of th...

In this paper, a novel efficient DBF (eDBF) partitioned scheduling algorithm of constraineddeadline sporadic task systems on multiprocessors is proposed. A criterion which tracks the demand bound function exactly as needed is used in the novel algorithm. The using of the new criterion in eDBF avoids the incorrect judgment made by density algorithm and DBF* algorithm in determining whether a pro...

Exposure to environmental pollutants such as dibenzofurans and furans is linked to the pathophysiology of several diseases. Dibenzofuran (DBF) is listed as a pollutant of concern due to its persistence in the environment, bioaccumulation and toxicity to humans, being associated with the development of lung diseases and cancers, due to its extremely toxic properties such as carcinogenic and tera...

PURPOSE To determine if temozolomide reduces the risk of distant brain failure (DBF, metachronous brain metastases) in patients with 1 to 4 brain metastases treated with radiosurgery without whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-five patients with newly diagnosed brain metastases were enrolled in a single institution phase 2 trial of radiosurgery (15-24 Gy) and ad...

We introduce a unique bandpass ΣΔ based common module with reconfigurable, bit-stream based digital beam-forming (DBF). An array of bandpass ΣΔ modulators accurately and efficiently digitizes the IF signals. Beam-forming is implemented directly through bitsteam processing of the fast, low-resolution bit-stream outputs of the quantizers of each bandpass ΣΔ modulator. Fabricated in 65nm CMOS, the...

LY2951742, a monoclonal antibody targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), is being developed for migraine prevention and osteoarthritis pain. To support the clinical development of LY2951742, capsaicin-induced dermal blood flow (DBF) was used as a target engagement biomarker to assess CGRP activity in nonhuman primates and healthy volunteers. Inhibition of capsaicin-induced DBF in nonh...

The discrete-time Distributed Bayesian Filtering (DBF) algorithm is presented for the problem of tracking a target dynamic model using a time-varying network of heterogeneous sensing agents. In the DBF algorithm, the sensing agents combine their normalized likelihood functions in a distributed manner using the logarithmic opinion pool and the dynamic average consensus algorithm. We show that ea...
