3-Methylglutaconic aciduria (MGTA) comprehends a group of disorders biochemically characterized by accumulation of 3-methylglutaric acid (MGA), 3-methylglutaconic acid (MGT) and occasionally 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid (OHIVA). Although neurological symptoms are common in the affected individuals, the mechanisms of brain damage are poorly known. In the present study we investigated the in vitro ef...

In previous work, a new assay was realized for determining soft-tissue mechanical properties. The method, named the model-gel-tissue (MGT) assay, couples material testing with a finite element model built from a micro-CT image acquisition of a gel-embedded tissue specimen to determine its mechanical properties. Given recent reports demonstrating that increased stromal collagen promotes mammary ...

In light of the current low-interest-rate environment, we reconsider merits strict money growth targeting (MGT) relative to conventional inflation (IT) and price level (PLT). We evaluate these policies in terms social welfare through lens a New Keynesian model accounting for zero lower bound (ZLB) constraint on nominal interest rate. Although MGT makes monetary policy vulnerable demand shocks, ...

Abstract So far, magnetic gradient tensor has been studied in the field of exploration. The third-order tensor(MGT) can obtain more target information. But its stability is poor. It will lead to a large error under condition noise. Aiming at above shortcomings, this paper puts forward an improved method. approximate calculation formula MGT analyzed and improved. be got from simulation that prop...

Learning and memory are fundamental brain functions affected by dietary and environmental factors. Here, we show that increasing brain magnesium using a newly developed magnesium compound (magnesium-L-threonate, MgT) leads to the enhancement of learning abilities, working memory, and short- and long-term memory in rats. The pattern completion ability was also improved in aged rats. MgT-treated ...

In order to study the effects of gamma rays on mean germination time (MGT), germination percentage, survival percentage, shoot and root length and, number of branches and leaves per plant, and fresh and dry weight of Lepidium sativum L current experiment was conducted. Dry seeds of Lepidum sativum L were irradiated with 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 krad (Kr) by a Co-gamma chamber at Nuclear In...

BACKGROUND Infertility affects ∼7% of all men. Despite much progress, mainly in genetics, its etiology remains obscure in ∼50% of cases. To fill this gap, imaging of the male genital tract (MGT) has progressively expanded, providing useful information in the assessment of MGT abnormalities. METHODS A critical, systematic review of the available literature was performed using Medline, with no ...

abstract wild lettuce (lactuca serriola) is an annual weed with seed reproduction. an experiment was conducted to evaluate some environmental effects on germination and emergence of this weed. the type of design was completely randomized with four replications in which factors were arranged as factorial. the experiment was carried out with 11 cm petri dishes in a germinator (10 °c) and without ...

We address the energy transfer in differential system { u t + ? ? ? ? ? = ? ? ? made by a Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation supercritical regime, hence antidissipative, coupled with classical heat equation. The asymptotic properties of related solution semigroup depend on strength coupling, ruling competition between Fourier damping and MGT antidamping. Exponential stability will be shown always t...
