MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play critical roles in plant growth and developmental processes. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is typically a maternally inherited trait and widely used in plant heterosis utilization. However, the miRNA-mediated regulatory network of CMS occurrence during anther development remains largely unknown in radish. In this stud...

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented hierarchical condition category (HCC) models in 2004 to adjust payments to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to reflect enrollees' expected health care costs. We use Verisk Health's diagnostic cost group (DxCG) Medicare models, refined "descendants" of the same HCC framework with 189 comprehensive clinical categories available to CMS ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of the GlideRite stylet with the conventional malleable stylet (CMS) in endotracheal intubation (ETI) by the Macintosh laryngoscope. METHODS This study is a randomized, crossover, simulation study. Participants performed ETI using both the GlideRite stylet and the CMS in a normal airway model and a tongue edema model (simulated difficult airway resulting...

Present study was undertaken with an objective to know commonly used heights of classroom furniture, and to gather relevant anthropometric data for the purpose of designing and evaluating suitable height of table and chair for girl students. Nine different combinations of table top height and chair seat height were experimented on 15 short (143151 cms), medium (151159 cms) and tall (159167 cms)...

A novel cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in Brassica napus (inap CMS) was selected from the somatic hybrid with Isatis indigotica (Chinese woad) by recurrent backcrossing. The male sterility was caused by the conversion of tetradynamous stamens into carpelloid structures with stigmatoid tissues at their tips and ovule-like tissues in the margins, and the two shorter stamens into filaments witho...

Discovery limits for the neutral SUSY Higgses in the l + jet + Emiss t final state from A;H; h ! are calculated as a function of mA and tan . For the selection efficiencies and jet rejection factors results obtained from a detailed simulation of the CMS calorimeter are used. Possibility to suppress the irreducible Z; ! background with b-tagging in the associated production channels is studied. ...

Cardiac myocytes (CMs) obtained by differentiating embryonic stem cells (ES-CMs) have an immature phenotype and promoting the maturation of such PSC-derived cardiomyocytes remains a major limitation in the development of stem cell models of human cardiovascular disease. We cultured murine ES-CMs in a collagen gel (3D) at a low density, or on collagen-coated polystyrene (2D) and found that 3D cu...
