Th e method of recursive coordinate reduction (RCR) off ers solutions to the forward problem of multibody dynamics at a cost in which the number of operations is linear in both the number of generalized coordinates, n, and the number of independent algebraic constraints, m (e.g., O(n + m)). However, the RCR is presently restricted in applicability (albeit broad) and susceptible to formulation s...

Respiratory variation in the intraatrial and atrioventricular conduction time and its mechanism were studied on 14 dogs under the following 3 conditions: (1) unanesthetized, (2) anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, and (3) anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. Beautiful respiratory variation in the atrioventricular conduction time (shortening during inspiration and prolongation during expirati...

Retroviral vectors based on murine leukemia viruses (MuLV) have been used in clinical investigations for over a decade. Alternative retroviruses, most notably vectors based on HIV-1 and other lentiviruses, are now entering into clinical trials. Although vectors are designed to be replication defective, recombination events during vector production could lead to the generation of replication com...

ABSTRACT: The present study evaluated the use of red ceramic residues (RCR) as pigments in matrices based on White Portland cement. Five mortars were prepared for study: control mortar (M0), at 1:2,3 ratio (cement: sand) and water/cement 0.60, other four containing RCR 10% (M10), 20% (M20), 50% (M50), 100% (M100) volume replace to sand. Colorimetric tests indicated a significant increase colori...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between response categories assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or pathology and survival outcomes, and to determine whether there are prognostic differences among molecular subtypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 174 patients with biopsy-confirmed invasive breast cancer who had undergone MRI before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, but b...

Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) can be used for the simple generation of high-titer replication-competent retroviral (RCR) vectors. Retroviruses undergo frequent genomic recombination, however, and vectors with reduced replication kinetics are rapidly overgrown by mutant forms. Vector design is hence critical to vector efficacy. In this study, two different designs of RSV-based RCR vectors were evalua...

Silicon (Si) application is known to enhance plant resistance diverse pathogens. Therefore, a greenhouse study was conducted determine whether Si reduces red crown rot (RCR) of soybean caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Calonectria ilicicola. The cultivar Enrei grown in soil mixed with different concentrations sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and inoculated C. ilicicola (1% w/v). significantly r...

A large amount of traffic crash investigations have shown that rear-end collisions are the main type on freeway. The purpose this study is to investigate collision risk Firstly, a new framework was proposed develop probability (RCP) model between two vehicles based Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD). Secondly, freeway (F-RCR) defined as sum each vehicle and divided into three levels which hi...

Advanced satellite geodetic systems have contributed to improving knowledge on changes in global gravity fields recent years. These offer profound opportunities the determination of a high-precision, high-resolution gravimetric geoid models data deficient regions. However, due absence research competence some regions, these conventional datasets not been implemented update obsolete reference fr...
