OBJECTIVES Goldenhar syndrome (GS) is a relatively common developmental disorder characterized by craniofacial anomalies in association with vertebral, cardiac, renal, and central nervous system defects. This paper describes GS features with special emphasis on oral characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical features of 6 patients with GS aged 3 months to 12 years are described, and a...

Gilbert syndrome (GS) is mainly characterized by intermittent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of hepatocellular disease or hemolysis. Little data are available on operative outcomes in GS patients with spinal deformity surgery.This study has presented a case of GS occurring in the patient with scoliosis.The patient was a 30-year-old female with scoliosis and GS. She was taken a c...

This paper suggests appropriate rules to set up ontology matching evaluations and for golden standard construction and use which can significantly improve the quality of the precision and recall measures. We focus on the problem of evaluating ontology matching techniques [1] which find mappings with equivalence, less general, more general and disjointness, and on how to make the evaluation resu...

For a spin1 2 particle, ~ S = ~2~σ, and gs is called the Lande g-factor. From classical calculations that treat the charged particle as a rotating piece of current, gs = 1. Surprisingly, the Dirac equation in relativistic quantum mechanics predicts that gs = 2, a result which agreed with the crude experiments of the time. In the 1940’s, a new understanding of renormalization in the developing q...

The stability of chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) was investigated under photooxidative stress using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves, chloroplasts, and chloroplast lysates. Illuminated seedlings sprayed with the superoxide radical (O-(2)) propagator methyl viologen showed rapid GS decline dependent on MV concentration and exposure time. Degradation products of approximate...

Biosurfaces are universally covered with fluid microfilms containing reduced glutathione (GSH) and other antioxidants whose putative roles include the detoxification of ambient ozone (O(3)). It is generally believed that O(3) accepts an electron from the thiolate GS(2-) function [pK(a)(GS(-)) = 8.8] of GSH to produce thiyl GS(*-) radicals en route to the disulfide GSSG. Here, we report novel el...

The expression of guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) genes (Gs alpha, Go alpha, Gi alpha 1, Gi alpha 2, and Gi alpha 3) was examined in the ventricle of cardiomyopathic Syrian hamsters of the Bio14.6 strain (10-35 weeks old). Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNA revealed that all G-protein genes except Gi alpha 1 were expressed in the ventricle of Syrian hamsters. Gs alpha a...

Generalized Steiner triple systems, GS(2, 3, n, g) are equivalent to maximum constant weight codes over an alphabet of size g + 1 with distance 3 and weight 3 in which each codeword has length n. The necessary conditions for the existence of a GS(2, 3, n, g) are (n − 1)g ≡ 0 (mod 2), n(n − 1)g ≡ 0 (mod 6), and n ≥ g + 2. Recently, we proved that for any given g, g ≡ 1, 5 (mod 6) and g ≥ 11, if ...
