The purpose of this experiment was to provide further information on how an individual's strategy and his performance are affected by increasing the amount of relevant or irrelevant information he receives. The subjects were sixty volunteers from ari -----u-n-dergYaduate course in educational psychology who were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups. Each subject was told that he wou...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether serum miR-661 could serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS   The expression of serum miR-661 was detected in 150 cases of NSCLC and 114 cases of normal healthy controls by Real-time PCR. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to analyze ...

Humans will again set foot on the moon. The moon is covered by a layer of fine dust, which can pose a respiratory hazard. We investigated the pulmonary toxicity of lunar dust in rats exposed to 0, 2.1, 6.8, 20.8 and 60.6mg/m of respirable-size lunar dust for 4weeks (6 h/day, 5 days/ week); the aerosols in the nose-only exposure chambers were generated from a jet-mill ground preparation of a lun...

MicroRNAs (miR) have been identified as posttranscriptional modifiers of target gene regulation and control the expression of gene products important in cancer progression. Here, we show that miR-661 inhibits the expression of metastatic tumor antigen 1 (MTA1), a widely up-regulated gene product in human cancer, by targeting the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of MTA1 mRNA. We found that endogenou...

Note that the variance for ηi is normalized to one since we only observe the sign of Z ′ iγ + ηi. Therefore γ can only be identified up to a scale. A classical example of this two-equation model is the wage regression model, where Yi is the observed wage rate and Di is the labor supply decision, which is decided by the latent calculation that one’s expected wage rate is larger than her reservat...

Background Tezacaftor–ivacaftor is an approved cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator shown to be efficacious and generally safe well tolerated over 8–24 weeks in phase 3 clinical studies participants aged 12 years or older with homozygous for the Phe508del CFTR mutation (F/F; study 661-106 [EVOLVE]) heterozygous a residual function (F/RF; 661-108 [EXPAND]). Longer...

The purpose of ARINC 661 specification [1] is to define interfaces to a Cockpit Display System (CDS) used in any types of aircraft installations. ARINC 661 provides precise information for communication protocol between application (called User Applications) and user interface components (called widgets) as well as precise information about the widgets themselves. However, in ARINC 661, no info...

Proof. First suppose that a ∼H b, so that a = bk for some k ∈ H, and let ah (with h ∈ H) be an artibrary element of aH. Then we have ah = bkh = b(kh) ∈ bH, hence aH ⊆ bH. The proof of bH ⊆ aH is similar. Conversely, suppose that aH = bH. Since a ∈ aH = bH we have a = bk for some k ∈ H. Then a−1b = k−1 ∈ H, hence a ∼H b. (d) Prove that the map g 7→ ag is a bijection from H to aH. Proof. Consider...

Sulfate reduction rates in the surface sediments from 17 stations from an along-slope transect (1,300 m) and from a cross-slope transect (855–4,766 m) were determined in the continental margin sediments of the Benguela Upwelling system. Profiles at all sites in the upwelling area showed increasing sulfate reduction rates from near zero at the surface to a peak at 2–5 cm (up to 29 nmol cm23 d21)...
