BACKGROUND Pediatric brainstem tumors (BST) comprise a heterogeneous group of entities. Data regarding treatment options and outcome of BST, specifically brainstem low grade tumors (BSLGT) are limited. In order to better define risk groups and evaluate treatment options for pediatric BST, we performed a comprehensive analysis of all BST patients treated in our hospital during the MRI era. PRO...

The gene encoding RNase HIII from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant protein (Bst-RNase HIII) was purified and biochemically characterized. Bst-RNase HIII is a monomeric protein with 310 amino acid residues, and shows an amino acid sequence identity of 47.1% with B. subtilis RNase HIII (Bsu-RNase HIII). Th...

The ferroelectric behavior of barium strontium titanate (BST) in thin film form has been investigated in order to study the possibility of using BST for ferroelectric gate-field effect transistor (FeFET) for memory devices application. BST thin films have been fabricated as Al/BST/Pt/SiO2/Si-gate configuration. The variation of the dielectric constant (ε) and tan δ with frequency have been stud...

Bedside teaching (BST) is a fundamental component of clinical training and an essential tool in the creation of a competent physician.1-15 Sir William Osler (1849-1919), one of Canada’s most renowned physicians, was the first to introduce BST to medical education in 1892. He described modern medical education as something that needed to be taught at the bedside: “Medicine is learned by the beds...

Previous studies have shown a modulatory influence of limbic forebrain areas, such as the central nucleus of the amygdala and lateral hypothalamus, on the activity of taste-responsive cells in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST). The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST), which receives gustatory afferent information, also sends descending axons to the NST. The present studies were desi...

The anteroventral region of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) stimulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis responses to acute stress. However, the role of the anterior BST nuclei in chronic drive of the HPA axis has yet to be established. Therefore, this study tests the role of the anteroventral BST in physiological responses to chronic drive, using a chronic variable...

Helical antennas have been popular antenna configurations for various applications for its simple structure [9-10]. This paper describes the study on the best custom shape dielectric loaded helical antenna for Access Point WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz applications. This paper presents the investigation of a Novel helical antenna incorporated with Barium Strontium Titanate (BST). Met...

We propose a general method based on the balanced stochastic truncation (BST) approach for the model reduction of stable linear systems. The new method relies on a recent general inner-outer factorization result and extends the applicability of the BST method to systems with infinite zeros. A computational algorithm with enhanced accuracy for the new BST model reduction approach is presented. T...

Lead-free piezoelectric compositions of the (1-x)Bi0.5(Na0.40K0.10)TiO3-x(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 system (when x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) were fabricated using a solid-state mixed oxide method and sintered between 1,050°C and 1,175°C for 2 h. The effect of (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 [BST] content on phase, microstructure, and electrical properties was investigated. The optimum sintering temperature was 1...
