generation neural stem cells from neurosphere–derived bone marrow stem cells using bioactive substance atc. bone marrow cells (bmscs) were isolated from rat. bmscs cultured by dmem/f12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. these cells evaluated by specific markers of bmscs such as bioactive substance atc, b27. then bmscs differentionated in to neurosphere and divided in two groups wh...

Background. Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the tumors with the shortest survival in human medicine. Aim. The aim was to determine the importance of age in survival of patients with ATC. Material and Methods. We analyzed the data on 150 patients diagnosed with ATC in the period from 1995 to 2006. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to determine overall survival. Progno...

Structural MRI (sMRI)-identified tissue "growth" after neuropsychological training has been reported in many studies but the origins of those apparent tissue changes (ATC) still remain elusive. One possible contributor to ATC is brain perfusion since T1-weighted MRI, the tool used to identify ATC, is sensitive to perfusion-change induced tissue T1 alterations. To test the hypothetical perfusion...

Today’s air traffic control (ATC) systems rely on multi-agent collaboration when managing air traffic. The introduction of new technologies into this complex environment motivates a need to assess predictively the impact of future technologies on the work practices currently present within the ATC system. This paper uses principles associated with Clark’s theory of language use (Clark, 1996) to...

OBJECTIVE Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms of ATC invasion are poorly understood. The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays a critical role in promoting tumor metastasis. TGF-β1 was found to be overexpressed in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). We therefore tested our hypothesis that targeted...

We develop a network congestion game to test a series of scenarios in order to analyse potential paths for change in air traffic management in Europe. The two stage game models air traffic control (ATC) providers that set charges and in the second stage airlines that choose flight paths given an airline schedule and the charges from the first stage. The scenarios analysed in the model include (...

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a very aggressive disease showing a high mortality. However, long-term survival is expected when patients do not show distant metastasis at diagnosis and undergo locally curative surgery. In this study, we investigated the optimal surgical procedure for locally curative surgery for ATC in a series of 34 patients. Twenty patients underwent total thyroidectom...

BACKGROUND Clinical observation and research findings show that acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) is a major factor that must be addressed in the care of severely injured patients. In this review article, we discuss the incidence and causes of ATC, the potential means of early risk stratification for it, and recommendations for its treatment. METHODS We selectively reviewed the pertinent lit...

BACKGROUND Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) has been linked to an increase in activated protein C (aPC) from 40 pM in healthy individuals to 175 pM. aPC exerts its activity primarily through cleavage of active coagulation factor Va (fVa). Platelets reportedly possess fVa which is more resistant to aPC cleavage than plasma fVa; this work examines the hypothesis that normal platelets are suffic...

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) can introduce higher levels of automation into Air Traffic Control (ATC), where spoken language is still the predominant form of communication. While ATC uses standard phraseology and a limited vocabulary, we need to adapt the speech recognition systems to local acoustic conditions and vocabularies at each airport to reach optimal performance. Due to continuou...
