Methodology: Putting stress issue controlling for any possible endogeneity problems prevails in effects corporate this employed Durbin-Wu-Hausman test as presence severely m...

BACKGROUND As kidney function declines, there is a progressive deterioration in mineral homeostasis with disruption of normal serum and tissue concentration of phosphorus and calcium, and changes in circulating levels of hormones-parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitriol (1,25(OH)2 D), and Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23). OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of marker...

A rapid, portable, and semi-quantitative immunochromatographic strip was developed for rapid and visual detection of alternariol monomethyl ether (AME). For this purpose, the anti-AME monoclonal antibody (mAb) was prepared and identified. AME coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) via methyl 4-bromobutanoate was prepared as immunogen. The recoveries of AME in spiked cherry and orange fruits dete...

Extremely low frequencies of CpG dinucleotides are found in the genomes of the lentivirus subfamily of retroviruses, including the human, simian and feline immunodeficiency viruses (HIV1, HIV2, SIV, and FIV, respectively), equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), and the ovine lentivirus, Visna. The occurrence of CpG dinucleotides is greater in the 2-3 (NCG) than in the 1-2 (CGN) codon-defined fr...

In this paper a transformation-based learning tagger is compared with a hidden Markov model tagger. For this comparison the Brill tagger and the TnT tagger are used. The Dutch Spoken Corpus (CGN), tagged with a medium-sized (72) tagstet, is used as training and testing material. The TnT tagger outperforms the Brill tagger on larger tagsets and when relatively small training-sets (around 10.000 ...

This document is a collection of potential solutions for revealing a host identifier (denoted as HOST_ID) when a Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) or application proxies are involved in the path. This host identifier could be used by a remote server to sort packets according to the sending host. The host identifier must be unique to each host under the same shared IP address. This document analyzes a set...

All coding DNAs exhibit 3-base periodicity (TBP), which may be defined as the tendency of nucleotides and higher order n-tuples, e.g. trinucleotides (triplets), to be preferentially spaced by 3, 6, 9 etc, bases, and we have proposed an association between TBP and clustering of same-phase triplets. We here investigated if TBP was affected by intercodon dinucleotide tendencies and whether cluster...

Consider a binary baseband vector-valued communication channel modeled by a zero-mean CGN vector N with a non-singular covariance matrix . We study the maximum loss of system performance using the metric of a decrease of PD for a fixed PFA. Under H0, the observed vector is given by x = n, while under H1, x = s + n. The optimum receiver compares the statistic x s to a threshold determined by PFA...
