Regulation of expression of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) is examined in two cell lines (FRL) obtained by chemical transformation of cultured fetal hepatocytes derived from 19-day rat fetuses (FL19). Steroid induction of TAT is unaffected by transformation, while the response to cyclic AMP is attenuated. Consequently a synergistic response elicited by the simultaneous exposure of normal fetal...

Balanced diet fed (BDF) rats injected with Salmonella typhi 'H' antigen showed an initial suppression of an immunomodulatory bone marrow cytokine Frl (BM-Frl) followed by stimulation, whereas the cytokine secretory pattern showed only stimulation in immunized vitamin B complex malnourished rats. This nutritional-dependent differential response of a bone marrow cytokine to antigen is similar to ...

This paper presents a general framework for performing adaptive reconfiguration of a distributed system based on maximizing the long-term business value, defined as the discounted sum of all future rewards and penalties. The problem of dynamic resource allocation among multiple entities sharing a common set of resources is used as an example. A specific architecture (DRA-FRL) is presented, whic...

OBJECTIVE To assess outcome after a 2-stage hepatectomy procedure (TSHP) combined with portal vein embolization (PVE) in the treatment of patients with unresectable multiple and bilobar colorectal liver metastases (MBCLM). BACKGROUND Patients with MBCLM are often considered for palliative chemotherapy only, due to too small future remnant liver (FRL). Recently, right hepatectomy with simultan...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The in vitro effectiveness of a uniform circumferential ferrule has been established in the literature; however, the effect of a nonuniform circumferential ferrule height on fracture resistance is unknown. PURPOSE This in vitro study investigated the resistance to static loading of endodontically treated teeth with uniform and nonuniform ferrule configurations. MATERIAL...

Neuropeptide S (NPS) and its receptor (NPSR) have been implicated in the mediation of anxiolytic-like behaviour in rodents. However, little knowledge is available regarding the NPS system in depression-related behaviours, and whether NPS also exerts anxiolytic effects in an animal model of psychopathology. Therefore, the aim of this work was to characterize the effects of NPS on depression- and...

Federated learning (FL) is a privacy-preserving distributed machine paradigm that enables collaborative training among geographically and heterogeneous devices without gathering their data. Extending FL beyond the supervised models, federated reinforcement (FRL) was proposed to handle sequential decision-making problems in edge computing systems. However, existing FRL algorithms directly combin...

Millions of high school students who take an Advanced Placement (AP) course in one over 30 subjects can earn college credit by performing well on the corresponding AP exam. Using data from four metro-Atlanta public districts, we find that 15 percent students’ courses do not result We predict up to 32 exam would a score 3 or higher, which generally commands at colleges and universities across Un...
