The labile iron pool (LIP) of animal cells has been implicated in cell iron regulation and as a key component of the oxidative-stress response. A major mechanism commonly implied in the downregulation of LIP has been the induced expression of ferritin (FT), particularly the heavy subunits (H-FT) that display ferroxidase activity. The effects of H-FT on LIP and other physiological parameters wer...

We have studied the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and the Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra of stanozolol and oxandrolone, and we have performed quantum chemical calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) with a B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level of theory. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were collected in a solid phase. The consistency between the calculated and experimental ...

Quantum extensions of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem (FT) for the entropy production have been discussed by several authors. There is a practical gap between microscopic forms of FT and mesoscopic (i.e. not purely Hamiltonian) forms for open systems. In a microscopic setup, it is easy to state and to prove FT. In a mesoscopic setup, it is difficult to identify fluctuations of the entr...

and the constraints of FT are finer grained and of different ex-pressivity. The basic notion of FT are functional attributes called features, which provide for record-like descriptions of data avoiding the overspecification intrinsic in Herbrand's constructor-based descriptions. The feature tree structure fixes an algebraic semantics for FT. We will also establish a logical semantics, which is ...

The FT-IR, FT-Raman and SERS Spectra of 1-Chloro 4-Flurobenzene (C6H4CLF) have been recorded in the range 4000-400cm -1 , the optimized geometry,frequency and intensity of the vibrtional bands of C6H4CLFhave been obtained by DFT levels of theory with complete relaxation in the 6-311**G basis sets. A complete vibrational assignment, aided by the theoretical frequency analysis, has been proposed....

Remote measurement and manipulation of biological systems can be achieved using magnetic techniques, but a missing link is the availability of highly magnetic handles on cellular or molecular function. Here we address this need by using high-throughput genetic screening in yeast to select variants of the iron storage ferritin (Ft) that display enhanced iron accumulation under physiological cond...

This study describes a multimethod evaluation of treatment fidelity to the family therapy (FT) approach demonstrated by front-line therapists in a community behavioral health clinic that utilized FT as its routine standard of care. Study cases (N=50) were adolescents with conduct and/or substance use problems randomly assigned to routine family therapy (RFT) or to a treatment-as-usual clinic no...

OBJECTIVE To compare gross motor development of preterm infants (PT) without cerebral palsy with healthy full-term (FT) infants, according to Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS); to compare the age of walking between PT and FT; and whether the age of walking in PT is affected by neonatal variables. METHODS Prospective study compared monthly 101 PT and 52 FT, from the first visit, until all AIMS...

BACKGROUND Sex-differences exist in some areas of human social behaviour. In animals, foetal testosterone (fT) plays a central role in organising the brain and in later social behaviour. fT has also been implicated in language development, eye-contact, and spatial ability in humans. METHODS Fifty-eight children (35 male and 23 female), whose fT was analysed in amniotic fluid, were followed up...

Mining Fault-Tolerant (FT) Frequent Patterns in real world (dirty) databases is considered to be a fruitful direction for future data mining research. In last couple of years a number of different algorithms have been proposed on the basis of Apriori-FT frequent pattern mining concept. The main limitation of these existing FT frequent pattern mining algorithms is that, they try to find all FT f...
