This article describes and illustrates use of random-effects regression models (RRM) in relapse research. RRM are useful in longitudinal analysis of relapse data since they allow for the presence of missing data, time-varying or invariant covariates, and subjects measured at different timepoints. Thus, RRM can deal with "unbalanced" longitudinal relapse data, where a sample of subjects are not ...

The nuclear protein cyclophilin 33 (Cyp33) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase that catalyzes cis-trans isomerization of the peptide bond preceding a proline and promotes folding and conformational changes in folded and unfolded proteins. The N-terminal RNA-recognition motif (RRM) domain of Cyp33 has been found to associate with the third plant homeodomain (PHD3) finger of the mixed lineag...

This paper intends to provide an overview of the Radio Resource Management (RRM) problem and envisaged solutions in a Beyond 3G framework. The different functions related to the Common RRM, encompassing the responsibility to optimize the pool of available radio resources among a variety of Radio Access Technologies (RATs), are identified and the different degrees of interactions that can be env...

The meaning and influence of light to biomolecular interactions, and consequently to health, has been analyzed using the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM). The RRM proposes that biological processes/interactions are based on electromagnetic resonances between interacting biomolecules at specific electromagnetic frequencies within the infra-red, visible and ultra-violet frequency ranges, where ea...

In Drosophila, the spliceosomal protein SNF fulfills the functions of two vertebrate proteins, U1 snRNP-UlA and U2 snRNP-U2B". The structure and sequence of SNF, U1A, and U2B" are nearly identical with two RNA recognition motifs (RRM) separated by a short linker region, yet they have different RNA-binding properties: U1A binds U1 snRNA, U2B" binds U2 snRNA, and SNF binds both snRNAs. Structure/...

The degradation of the poly(A) tail is crucial for posttranscriptional gene regulation and for quality control of mRNA. Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is one of the major mammalian 3' specific exo-ribonucleases involved in the degradation of the mRNA poly(A) tail, and it is also involved in the regulation of translation in early embryonic development. The interaction between PARN and the ...

Radio Resource Management (RRM) is a system level control of co-channel interference and other radio transmission characteristics in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) is an international standardized abstract programming language for test development. Its abstraction, scalability and standardization of interfaces make TTCN-3 the best choice for implem...

Given the common pathways for uptake and synthesis for dopamine and serotonin, enhanced renal dopamine synthesis in response to increased substrate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) is postulated to decrease renal serotonin synthesis. The present study compared the effects of chronic oral administration ofl-DOPA on dopamine and serotonin excretion in vivo, with the effects of enhanced dopamin...

Radiation management (RM) has been proposed as a conceivable climate engineering (CE) intervention to mitigate global warming. In this study, we used coupled model (MPI-ESM) with very idealized setup investigate the efficacy and risks of CE at local scale in space time (regional radiation management, RRM) assuming that cloud modification is technically possible. RM implemented by brightening lo...

We analyzed 152,145 test-day records from 7317 first lactations of Holstein cows recorded from 1995 to 2003. Our objective was to model variations in test-day milk yield during the first lactation of Holstein cows by random regression model (RRM), using various functions in order to obtain adequate and parsimonious models for the estimation of genetic parameters. Test-day milk yields were...
