In 2010–2012, the hydrogeological model (HM) of Latvia LAMO was established by scientists of Riga Technical University (RTU). The commercial program Groundwater Vistas (GV) is used for running LAMO. Efficient methods have been used for creating geometry of HM, the arrangement of various boundary conditions (digital terrain map, hydrographical network, infiltration flow, conditions on the HM she...

PURPOSE We previously reported that eyes with hypotony maculopathy (HM) after trabeculectomy (TLE) exhibited more reduction of axial length (AL) than those without HM, suggesting that inward collapse of the scleral wall may contribute to the development of HM after TLE. However, we did not evaluate change in choroidal thickness (CT), which could influence AL measures. We compared the magnitude ...

The countries of the world and of the European Union are developing hydrogeological models (HM) where, by means of computer modelling, the information necessary for the groundwater management is obtained. In 1996, Riga Technical University (RTU), upon assignment of the former State Geological Survey, established regional HM REMO for the central part of Latvia. REMO does not match demands of a m...

BACKGROUND The Electrophysiologic Study Versus Electrocardiographic Monitoring (ESVEM) study was designed to compare the accuracy of predictions of antiarrhythmic drug efficacy made by electrophysiological study (EPS) with those made by Holter monitoring (HM) combined with exercise testing. The present study describes the baseline characteristics and the response to drug efficacy tests of 486 r...

Premature and high-risk infants require accurate delivery of nutrients to promote appropriate growth. Continuous enteral feeding methods may result in significant fat and micronutrient loss. This study evaluated fat loss in enteral nutrition using current strategies for providing high-risk infants fortified human milk (HM). The fat content of HM was measured by IR analyzer in a simulated feedin...

We characterized the molecular species of human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hM-CSF) found in serum and urine, using immunoblot analysis after partial purification on an antibody-bound affinity column. Although antibodies were prepared using the recombinant product of the large form of hM-CSF with a molecular weight (MW) of 85 Kd as the antigen, this immunoblot system was also capable ...

Housaku Monogatari (HM) is a plant activator prepared from a yeast cell wall extract. We examined the efficacy of HM application and observed that HM treatment increased the resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica rapa leaves to bacterial and fungal infections. HM reduced the severity of bacterial leaf spot and anthracnose on A. thaliana and Brassica crop leaves with protective effects....

The effects of HM-1 killer toxin (HM-1) on yeast spheroplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were examined under osmotically stabilized conditions. Prolonged incubation of spheroplasts in nutrient-rich media resulted in an increase in volume, accompanied by aberrant morphological changes. By contrast, spheroplasts were enlarged, maintaining a round shape, when incubated in HM-1 media. The required...

DNA strands containing a 5-hydroxymethylcytosine ((hm)C), which have recently been found in neuron cells and embryonic stem cells, were synthesized through a facile synthetic technique. The (hm)C-containing strands were efficiently oxidized at (hm)C using an osmium oxidation assay. The (hm)C was oxidized as easily as 5-methylcytosine, which can be distinguished from unmethylated cytosine.
