We present theoretical and observational studies of non-Gaussian fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation anisotropy. We use the angular bispectrum and trispectrum, the harmonic transform of the angular threeand four-point correlation functions. If the primordial fluctuations are non-Gaussian, then this non-Gaussianity will be apparent in the CMB sky. Non-linearity in inf...

Scaling properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation are studied using satellite (COBE-DMR maps), balloonborne and ground-based (combined QMASK map) data. Quantitative consistency is found between the multiscaling properties of the COBE-DMR and QMASK CMB maps. Surprisingly, it is found that the observed CMB temperature multiscaling resembles quantitatively the multiscaling prop...

Small molecules that target the adrenergic family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) show promising therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of various cancers. In this study, we report that human colon cancer cell line SW480 expresses low-density functional α1B-adrenergic receptors (ARs) as revealed by label-free dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) signaling technology and confirmed by quantit...

TETRA is already a mature and well supported standard that is well suited to the needs of the emergency services and other ‘mission critical’ purposes, as well as professional users. DMR, on the other hand, is still developing, and it remains to be seen whether manufacturers will support the variety of modes that are likely to emerge. What DMR does provide today is a solution for the consumer a...

This work studied the potential use of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the decolorization of the following textile dyes: Drimarene Blue X-3LR (DMBLR), Drimarene Blue X-BLN (DMBBLN), Drimarene Rubinol X-3LR (DMR), and Drimarene Blue CL-R (RBBR). Dyes were individually tested in the reaction media containing 120 mg·L(-1), considering the following parameters: temperature (20-45°C), H(2)O(2) conce...

Diastolic mitral regurgitation (DMR) may occur due to an increased left ventricular (LV) cavity pressure compared the atrial (LA) pressure. This with bradycardia when diastolic filling time is increased. In our case, patient was found have blocked bigeminal premature contractions (PACs) causing leading regurgitation. N/A A 58-year-old woman presented one week history of shortness breath, paroxy...

Aims The Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GIse) registry Of Transcatheter treatment mitral valve regurgitaTiOn (GIOTTO) was conceived in order to assess the safety and efficacy MitraClip therapy Italy. aim this study procedural mid-term outcomes, clinical echocardiographic predictors mortality after therapy, stratifying results according diagnosis functional degenerative regurgitat...

The ratio (RMR) is the standard measure of sex differentials in mortality. It is commonly known that the RMR was historically small and increased throughout the 20 th century. However, numerical properties might account for the trend in the RMR rather than sex differences in risk factors. In this study we examine the age pattern of the absolute difference in male to female mortality rates (DMR)...

The imprinted Igf2 gene is active only on the paternal allele in most tissues. Its imprinting involves a cis-acting imprinting-control region (ICR) located upstream of the neighboring and maternally expressed H19 gene. It is thought that differential methylation of the parental alleles at the ICR is crucial for parental imprinting of both genes. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) have als...

BACKGROUND We carried out this meta-analysis to demonstrate efficacies of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients based on randomized, controlled trials (RCTs). PATIENTS AND METHODS We comprehensively searched electronic databases and manuscripts for RCTs and extracted data from eligible studies for meta-analysis. Overall surv...
