Several lines of evidence from analysis of impact craters and other morphological features on Ida indicate the asteroid surface is covered with a thin layer of regolith that probably grades downward into less well-sorted rubble/megaregolith. This transition with depth is too gradational or occurs too close to the surface to be expressed in crater morphology at available resolution. Gravitationa...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia in the United States, and it particularly affects women of child-bearing age and black, non-Hispanic race/ethnicity. During the surveillance period there were 10,157 incident ("new") cases of IDA among active component service members; the overall incidence rate was 7.1 per 10,000 person-years. The annual incidence rates increased...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The indication for endoscopy to investigate anemia of causes other than iron deficiency is not clear. Increasing numbers of endoscopic procedures for anemia raises concerns about costs to the health system, waiting times, and patient safety. The primary aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield of endoscopy in patients referred to undergo investigation for anem...

A newly synthesized aromatic polyaminocarboxylate (NBD-ABEDTA, H(4)L) was applied to precapillary derivatizing capillary electrophoresis as a chelating reagent for lanthanide ions (Ln(3+)). The Ln-L complexes provide both kinetic stability on dissociation due to their methyl-EDTA coordinating structure, and high light absorptivity (epsilon(max) = 2.4 x 10(4) cm(-1) mol(-1) dm(3)) in the visible...

Adults with disabilities disproportionally experience poverty. We examine one novel strategy to promote economic well-being among adults with disabilities living in or near poverty, namely Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). IDAs are designed to help individuals save money and subsequently accumulate assets. Although adults with disabilities account for the majority of IDA participants, sca...

The aim of this study was to evaluate sensitivity and specificity for reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) compared to other hematimetric and biochemical iron parameters, in particular, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), when screening for iron deficiency in elderly anemic patients. Bone marrow staining negative for iron was used as the gold standard criterion for iron deficiency anemia (IDA)....

OBJECTIVE To improve the quality of care provided to patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). DESIGN Service development. SETTING District General Hospital. PATIENTS Adults with IDA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Descriptive report of the practicalities and benefits of establishing an IDA clinic. CONCLUSIONS The IDA clinic is a novel service development which enhances the management of pa...

To further study the global seismic behaviour and post-earthquake reparability of RC building frames with proposed self-centring columns low-bond high-strength reinforcements (LBHSRs), incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) five-floor ten-floor frame archetypes under excitation by twenty ground motions (GMs) was performed. First, pushover results indicated that use LBHSR could substantially improve...

We have cloned and characterized the ida gene that is required for proliferation of imaginal disc cells during Drosophila development. IDA is homologous to APC5, a subunit of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/cyclosome). ida mRNA is detected in most cell types throughout development, but it accumulates to its highest levels during early embryogenesis. A maternal component of IDA is required f...

Abscission is an active process that enables plants to shed unwanted organs. Because the purpose of the flower is to facilitate pollination, it often is abscised after fertilization. We have identified an Arabidopsis ethylene-sensitive mutant, inflorescence deficient in abscission (ida), in which floral organs remain attached to the plant body after the shedding of mature seeds, even though a f...
