Interactive Topic Detection and Tracking (iTDT) refers to the TDT works which focused on user interaction, user evaluation and user interfaces aspects. This paper investigates and identifies the elements of the design of an interface that aims to facilitate journalists to perform TDT tasks. Therefore we present an (iTDT) interface called Interactive Event Tracking (iEvent) and evaluate the usab...

-Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) was estimated in the tissues of 42 patients with lymphoma, whose cells were also typed by the use of surface markers. Four of the 8 patients with T-cell lymphoma were TdT+ including patients whose lymph nodes showed an undifferentiated or poorly differentiated appearance. The TdTT-cell lymphomas included cases with diffuse histiocytic, Sezary cell, d...

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is a DNA polymerase that increases the repertoire of antigen receptors by adding non-templated nucleotides (N-addition) to V(D)J recombination junctions. Despite extensive in vitro studies on TdT catalytic activity, the partners of TdT that enable N-addition remain to be defined. Using an intrachromosomal substrate, we show here that, in Chinese hamte...

Abstract Introduction The NCEPOD ‘delay in transit’ report 2020 explored the management of patients presenting with Acute Bowel Obstruction (ABO), highlighting delays at all stages patient care from presentation to management. CT scan as first definitive imaging was a key recommendation prevent delay decision making. Aim this audit investigate compliance and consequential making treatment. Meth...

The presence of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) has been determined in neoplastic cells from 50 patients with non-hematologic tumors as well as neoplastic cells from 85 patients with hematologic malignancies. The results indicate that TdT is not present in cells from non-hematologic tumors, Hodgkin's lymphoma, B cell lymphoproliferative disorders, peripheral T cell neoplasms, reacti...

Responding to demands for very large, easily accessible, reusable news corpora to support research in the topic detection and tracking paradigm, the Linguistic Data Consortium created the TDT corpora. In addition to supporting research in the Topic Detection and Tracking program, the TDT corpora were collected and annotated with an eye toward reuse and re-annotation. Their value is confirmed in...

BACKGROUND: Over the past fifteen years, USAID and other donors have made considerable investments in African technology development and transfer (TDT) activities, primarily for research and extension. Yet obligations for TDT under the Development Fund for Africa (DFA) THE IMPACTS OF INVESTMENTS IN declined steadily from $55 million in 1986 to $35 AGRICULTURAL TDT million in 1991, reflecting a ...

Abstract Purpose There is a gap of information describing the health state utility values (HSUVs) transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients in Malaysia. These are useful assessment health-related quality life (HRQoL), economic evaluations and provide guidance to disease management decisions. The objective this study was estimate derive HSUVs associated with treatment complications TDT Ma...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that healthcare providers (HCPs) in South Africa do not consistently offer tobacco dependence treatment (TDT) during clinical consultations. In order to understand and explain this behaviour in a South African context, we conducted a qualitative exploration of HCPs' experiences, perceptions and behaviours regarding TDT. METHODS Individual qualitative interviews we...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketoprofen in Transfersome® gel (IDEA-033) in comparison with a ketoprofen-free vehicle (TDT 064) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. METHODS Patients with knee OA (N = 866) were randomly assigned to receive topical IDEA-033 containing 100, 50, or 25 mg ketoprofen, or TDT 064 twice daily for 12 weeks, in a double-blind trial. ...
