Design: Case study Objective: Report on treatment outcomes of patient with opercular syndrome treated with VitalStim Therapy. Subjects: 76 year old man with severe dysphagia as a result of 2 consecutive strokes suffered 3 years earlier. Patient had failed prior traditional therapy. Method: VitalStim Therapy delivered for 60 minutes over a period of 5 months. Outcome measures: Swallowing score b...

The minor crossing number of a graph G is the minimum crossing number of a graph that contains G as a minor. It is proved that for every graph H there is a constant c, such that every graph G with no H-minor has minor crossing number at most c|V (G)|.

Vaccinia DNA topoisomerase forms a covalent DNA-(3'-phosphotyrosyl)-enzyme intermediate at a pentapyrimidine target site 5'-C(+5)C(+4)C(+3)T(+2)T(+1)p downward arrow in duplex DNA. The enzyme engages the target site within a C-shaped protein clamp. Here we mapped the interface of topoisomerase with the DNA minor groove by introducing chiral C-10 R and S 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide adducts of benzo[a]...

The present work aims to create a shallow parser for Modern Greek subject/object detection, using machine learning techniques. The parser relies on limited resources. Experiments with equivalent input and the same learning techniques were conducted for English, as well, proving that the methodology can be adjusted to deal with other languages with only minor modifications. For the first time, t...

A new strategy for encoding polypeptide libraries with photolabile tags is developed. The photoassisted assay, based on conditional release of encoding tags only from bound pairs, can differentiate between peptides which have minor differences in a form of post-translational modifications with epigenetic marks. The encoding strategy is fully compatible with automated peptide synthesis. The enco...
