In the present study, we first report two forms of human phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) cDNA (HsPSAT alpha and HsPSAT beta). HsPSAT alpha has a predicted open reading frame comprising 324 amino acids, encoding a 35.2 kDa protein (PSAT alpha), whereas HsPSAT beta consists of an open reading frame comprising 370 amino acids that encodes a 40 kDa protein (PSAT beta). PSAT alpha is identical...

INTRODUCTION Analysis of total value of prostate specific antigen (PSAT), with the unavoidable digital rectal examination (DRE) is the basis of prostate cancer detection. AIM The aim of this study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the total value of PSAT in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The aim was also to determine the significance of PSAT in diagnosis of benign prostat...

Analysis of total value of prostate specific antigen (PSAT), with the unavoidable digital rectal examination (DRE) is the basis of prostate cancer detection. The aim of this study was to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the total value of PSAT in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The aim was also to determine the significance of PSAT in diagnosis of benign prostate hyperplasia, prec...

[1] Temperature, or alternatively, saturation vapor pressure (PSAT), dominantly controls the polar mesospheric cloud (PMC) seasonal onset and termination, characterized by a strong anticorrelated relationship between the Solar Occultation for Ice Experiment (SOFIE)-observed PMC frequency and PSAT on intraseasonal time scales. SOFIE is highly sensitive to weak clouds and can obtain a nearly full...

BACKGROUND Cardiac catheterization is a common procedure in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Although cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) represents a promising alternative approach to fluoroscopy guidance, simultaneous high contrast visualization of catheter, soft tissue and the blood pool remains challenging. In this study, a novel passive tracking technique is propos...

Mathematical skills are of critical importance, both academically and in everyday life. Neuroimaging research has primarily focused on the relationship between mathematical skills and functional brain activity. Comparatively few studies have examined which white matter regions support mathematical abilities. The current study uses diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to test whether individual differ...

Kadin [6] showed that if the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH) has infinitely many levels, then for all k, PSAT[k] ⊂ PSAT[k+1]. This paper extends Kadin’s technique and shows that a proper query hierarchy is not an exclusive property of NP complete sets. In fact, for any A ∈ NP − l̂ow3, if PH has infinitely many levels, then PA[k] ⊂ PA[k+1]. Moreover, for the case of parallel queries, PA‖[k+1] is not ev...

In this paper, we study algorithms for probabilistic satisfiability (PSAT), an NP-complete problem, and their empiric complexity distribution. We define a PSAT normal form, based on which we propose two logic-based algorithms: a reduction of normal form PSAT instances to SAT, and a linearalgebraic algorithm with a logic-based column generation strategy. We conclude that both algorithms present ...

Do individual differences in the brain mechanisms for arithmetic underlie variability in high school mathematical competence? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we correlated brain responses to single digit calculation with standard scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) math subtest in high school seniors. PSAT math scores, while controlling for PSAT Critical Readi...

INTRODUCTION Public health programs can deliver benefits only if they are able to sustain programs, policies, and activities over time. Although numerous sustainability frameworks and models have been developed, there are almost no assessment tools that have demonstrated reliability or validity or have been widely disseminated. We present the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool (PSAT), a new...
