OBJECTIVES Recently, pattern recognition approaches have been used to classify patterns of brain activity elicited by sensory or cognitive processes. In the clinical context, these approaches have been mainly applied to classify groups of individuals based on structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Only a few studies have applied similar methods to functional MRI (fMRI) data. METHOD...

Neonatal rats reared on high-carbohydrate (HC) milk formula developed chronic hyperinsulinemia and adult-onset obesity due to programming of islets and the hypothalamic energy circuitry. In this study, calorie restriction by pair-feeding was imposed on HC male rats (HC/PF) to normalize food intake similar to that of mother-fed (MF) rats from weaning until postnatal day 140. A group of HC/PF rat...

Abstract We have carried out observations of CCH ( N = 1 ? 0), CH 3 CN J 5 4), and three 13 C isotopologues HC 10 9) toward massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), G12.89+0.49, G16.86?2.16, G28.28?0.36, with the Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope. Combined previous results on N, column density ratios (CCH)/ (HC N), hereafter CCH/HC ratios, in MYSOs are derived to be ?15. This value is lower than that...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to demonstrate and compare the serial high-resolution CTs (HRCT) and the pulmonary function test (PFT) findings of the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and the non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The serial HRCT scans and the PFT results were retrospectively analysed and compared for 35 patients having UIP without significant honeycombing (U...

Agricultural and forestry biomass direct-fired power generation represents an important technology to promote low-carbon energy transition sustainable development. To solve the problems of boiler output fluctuation caused by unstable combustion high moisture content insufficient recovery ash waste heat after combustion, steel carriers (HC) were used absorb high-temperature (HTA) heat, then HC w...

Background—Cross-talk between monocytes and platelets is reflected by the formation of monocyte-platelet aggregates (MPAs). It is not known whether MPAs are affected in heart failure (HF) and we examined differences in patients with acute HF (AHF), stable HF (SHF), stable coronary artery disease (CAD) without HF, and healthy controls (HC). Methods and Results—MPAs were analyzed by flow cytometr...

To explore biologic behaviors and disease relevance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development of active tuberculosis (ATB), we investigated the expression profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) purified protein derivative (PPD)-induced miRNAs to determine the specific miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of ATB. The expression profile of miRNA under PPD challenge was first measured using mic...

This article is devoted to economical aspects of Human Computation (HC) and to perspectives of HC in economics. As of economical aspects of HC, it is first observed that much of what makes HC systems effective is economical in nature suggesting that complexity being reconsidered as a “HC complexity” and the conception of efficient HC systems as a “HC economics”. This article also points to the ...

Exchange bias in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic systems can be explained terms of various interfacial phenomena. Among these spin glass frustration affect the magnetic properties exchange systems. Here we have studied a NiMn/CoFeB system which seems to play crucial role. In order account effect on properties, performed temperature and cooling field dependence bias. We observed decrease (HEB) w...
