OBJECTIVE The Modified Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-M36) scale was developed for medically ill, older individuals in 2008 (Toronto, Canada, department of psychosocial oncology and palliative care, Princess Margaret Hospital). The scale has displayed satisfactory reliability and validity. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of Modified Experienc...

Ecdysteroids (Ecs) enhance the formation of Ec receptor-ultraspiracle protein (EcR-USP) heterodimers which regulate gene transcription. To study EcR-USP heterodimerization, fusion proteins were constructed from the LBDs (ligand-binding domains) of Drosophila EcR or USP and the activation or DNA-binding region of GAL4 respectively. Reporter gene ( lacZ ) activation was fully dependent on the co-...

Attachment theory helps us to understand patients´ health behavior. Attachment styles might explain patient differences in coping behavior, self-treatment, or patient-provider relationships. In primary care time constrains are relevant. A short instrument may facilitate screening and assessment in daily medical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate a 12-item short version of the Exper...

Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) has recently emerged as a grocery industry strategy giving emphasis to the application of modern management methods, co-operative practices and available technologies in order to achieve a responsive, consumer-driven replenishment system. Under this strategy, information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) in general seem to play a key role, through th...

OBJECTIVE To determine journal publication rates of scientific papers presented orally at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2010, with comparison of country data to ECR 2000. METHODS All oral presentations from ECR 2010 were evaluated for publication between 2010 and 2014 using the MEDLINE database. Countries, collaborations, subspecialties, modalities and study design were ranked by p...

A large body of compelling but indirect evidence suggests that the motor cortex controls the different forelimb segments as a whole rather than individually. The purpose of this study was to obtain physiological evidence in behaving human subjects on the mode of operation of the primary motor cortex during coordinated movements of the forelimb. We approached this problem by studying a pointing ...

The association between attachment dimensions (anxiety and avoidance) can influence measurement creation and statistical analyses. Our goal was to test the assumption that anxiety and avoidance was orthogonal in two popular measures: the ‘Experience in Close Relationships Scale – Revised’ (ECR-R) and the original ‘Experiences in Close Relationships Scale’ (ECR). Our meta-analysis of 242 studies...

In this paper we give an example of a real-analytic Hamiltonian system whose restrictions onto different energy levels are Anosov flows for E > Ecr, have only transitive trajectories for E = Ecr and are analytically integrable for E < Ecr where E|mathrmcr is some critical level of energy. This gives a simple example of a transition from chaos to integrability (on a fixed energy level) via a pas...

We identified two regulatory elements in the upstream region of the Drosophila Sgs-3 gene which are both able to bind the ecdysone receptor (EcR/USP) and the product of the fork head gene. Interestingly, only one of the EcR/USP binding sites is able to recognize in vitro-translated EcR/USP, which provides evidence for the existence of different receptor forms having different DNA binding specif...

Energy Consumption Ratio (ECR) test, a current-based test, has shown its ability to reduce the impact of process variations and detect hard-to-detect faults. The effectiveness of ECR tests may be degraded by a large number of normal transitions in a circuit, which may bury the fault impact on the overall current. For deterministic ECRs, the fault-oriented ECR tests are generated with an algorit...
