We turn to the viewpoint of users of a DAU system. Out of the view of users we sketch a picture of “Document Analysis and Understanding” (DAU), only a simple division of DAU into six sub-tasks, and consider this a model of DAU. We provide one elaborate example of a use of the model: the module design of the commercially successful DAU system smartFIX. We argue that such modeling of DAU can be o...

Screening and confirmation testing for drugs of abuse in urine (DAU) represent areas for potential reduction of laboratory workload and attendant cost savings. Following a careful review of the dinical needs of the underlying veteran patient population served by 7 medical facilities in the Boston area, DAU test ordering frequencies, positive rates for several screening panels and the associated...

Variant D occurs frequently in Africans. However, considerably less RHD alleles have been described in this population compared with Europeans. We characterized 5 new RHD alleles, dubbed DAU-0 to DAU-4, that shared a T379M substitution and occurred in a cDe haplotype. DAU-1 to DAU-4 were detected in Africans with partial D phenotypes. They harbored one and 2 additional missense mutations, respe...

BACKGROUND In contrast to other Bet v 1-related food allergens, the major carrot allergen, Dau c 1, has been suggested to induce food allergy independently from Bet v 1. As T cells are crucial in the sensitization process, we sought to characterize the T-cell response to Dau c 1 and its cross-reactivity with Bet v 1. METHODS Dau c 1-specific T-cell lines (TCL) and clones (TCC) established fro...

Daunomycin and other structurally related anthracyclines can cause myelosuppression and cardiomyopathy. We explored the possible mechanism(s) by which daunomycin (DAU) interacts with target sites in neoplastic hemopoietic cells and heart tissue. We observed that [3H(G)]DAU interacts selectively with mitochondrial hemoproteins isolated from K-562 cells and rat and bovine heart and forms relative...

Pollen undergo a maturation process to sustain pollen viability and prepare them for germination. Molecular mechanisms controlling these processes remain largely unknown. Here, we report an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, dayu (dau), which impairs pollen maturation and in vivo germination. Molecular analysis indicated that DAU encodes the peroxisomal membrane protein ABERRANT PEROXISOME MORPHOLOGY...

A simple and highly sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of anthracycline anticancer agents, such as Daunorubicin hydrochloride (DAU), was established by using aluminum(III) and Chromazurol S (CAS) in a nonionic surfactant micellar medium. In the case of determination of DAU, the apparent molar absorptivity was 1.3 x 10(5) dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1) at 615 nm. Beer's law was obeyed...

Significantly decreased uptake and retention of daunorubicin (DAU) and Adriamycin (ADR) have been reported in sublines of P388 leukemia resistant to these anthracyclines. We studied the effects of inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation on uptake and retention of DAU and ADR in order to characterize the transport process for these anthracyclines and to clarify further the alteration in resistan...
