Tsetse flies use olfactory and gustatory responses, through odorant and gustatory receptors (ORs and GRs), to interact with their environment. Glossina morsitans morsitans genome ORs and GRs were annotated using homologs of these genes in Drosophila melanogaster and an ab initio approach based on OR and GR specific motifs in G. m. morsitans gene models coupled to gene ontology (GO). Phylogeneti...

purpose: to evaluate changes in graft steepness after graft refractive surgery (grs) and to discover influential factors and a coefficient to predict the amount of postoperative shift. methods: keratoconic patients with history of penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) who underwent grs due to high post-pkp astigmatism were included. changes in mean keratometry after grs were evaluated to find possible...

Case No. I.?At Hurdui, Mudaree, weaver, aged 50, came under treatment on 3rd August, 1872, at noon, eighteen hours after commencement of attack ; in evacuation stage, but discharges infrequent; urine siqipressed ; eyes sunk ; cramps ; restlessness ; has had no sleep ; skin cold ; pulse weak and c...

6th June, 1925.?No response to quinine (grs. 5 t.d.s.) given from 2nd June, 1925, 9-30 p.m. Temperature 106?F. Intravenous injection of quinine bihydrochloride (grs. 3). 7th June, 1925.?8 a.;m. Temperature 98.6?F. Intravenous injection of quinine bihydrochloride (grs. 2i). Urine now distinctly "milky," showed marked chyluria and the microscope revealed a large number of microfilariae. The quini...

Standard rule structure of the form IF condition THEN action is a very simple structure and can be written easily by inexpert people . The standard rule structure is widely used in expert systems and various applications. One of the main problems of the standard structure is that it can’t represent real time systems where conclusions should be obtained within time limits. Censored Production Ru...

BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified novel type 2 diabetes loci, each of which has a modest impact on risk. OBJECTIVE To examine the joint effects of several type 2 diabetes risk variants and their combination with conventional risk factors on type 2 diabetes risk in 2 prospective cohorts. DESIGN Nested case-control study. SETTING United States. PARTICIPANTS 2809 p...

We use the grammatical relations (GRs) described in Carroll et al. (1998) to compare a number of parsing algorithms A first ranking of the parsers is provided by comparing the extracted GRs to a gold standard GR annotation of 500 Susanne sentences: this required an implementation of GR extraction software for Penn Treebank style parsers. In addition, we perform an experiment using the extracted...

Controlling and improving neuronal cell migration and neurite outgrowth are critical elements of tissue engineering applications and development of artificial neuronal interfaces. To this end, a promising approach exploits nano/microstructured surfaces, which have been demonstrated to be capable of tuning neuronal differentiation, polarity, migration and neurite orientation. Here, we investigat...

OBJECTIVE To develop a genotype-based ankylosing spondylitis (AS) risk prediction model that is more sensitive and specific than HLA-B27 typing. METHODS To develop the AS genetic risk scoring (AS-GRS) model, 648 individuals (285 cases and 363 controls) were examined for 5 copy number variants (CNV), 7 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), and an HLA-B27 marker by TaqMan assays. The AS-GRS mo...

BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk factors (RF). Using a case-cohort study within the prospective Cardiovascular Registry Maastricht (CAREMA) cohort, we tested if genetic risk scores (GRS) based on GWAS-identified SNPs are associated with and predictive for future ...
