PURPOSE To investigate the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters as in-vivo biomarkers of axon and myelin sheath integrity of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel as validated by correlation with electrophysiology. METHODS MRI examinations at 3T including DTI were conducted on wrists in 30 healthy subjects. After manual segmentation of the median nerve quantitative analysis ...

To show that an adsorbing biofilm carrier (GAC) can be advantageous for atrazine bioremediation over a non-adsorbing carrier, fluidized bed (FB) reactors were operated under atrazine limiting concentrations using Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP as the atrazine degrading bacteria. The following interrelated subjects were investigated: 1) atrazine adsorption to GAC under conditions of atrazine partial...

The WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence against Women is a research initiative that has produced data on intimate-partner violence comparable across the 10 countries in this report: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Japan, Namibia, Peru, Samoa, Serbia and Montenegro, Thailand, and the United Republic of Tanzania. Carried out in adherence to strict ethical, safety and qua...

The mathematical modeling of spatial biofilm formation that provides the capability to predict biofilm structure from first principles has been in development for the past six years. However, a direct and quantitative link between model predictions and the experimentally observed structure formation still remains to be established. This work assesses the capability of a state-of-the-art techniq...

... I don’t feel well and I just cry. There are times that I want to be dead, I even thought of killing myself or poisoning myself and my kids, because I think if I have suffered that much, how much would my kids suffer if I am no longer there... Woman interviewed in Peru has sex, the more likely it is that the encounter was forced (23). For example, in the Rakai study mentioned above, whereas ...

The most common mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene leads to deletion of the phenylalanine at position 508 (ΔF508) in the CFTR protein and causes multiple folding and functional defects. Contrary to large-scale efforts by industry and academia, no significant therapeutic benefit has been achieved with a single "corrector". Therefore, investigations co...

Des tests de compétence linguistique sont souvent nécessaires pour des évaluations dans l’enseignement et la recherche, en particulier les contextes langue seconde. Les vocabulaire donnent estimations rapides utiles linguistique. Dans présente étude, un C-test français a été développé testé sur 129 étudiants bilingues néerla...

We analyse the spatial statistics of 2D gas-phase oxygen abundance distributions in a sample 219 local galaxies. introduce new adaptive binning technique to enhance signal-to-noise ratio weak lines, which we use produce well-filled metallicity maps for these show that two-point correlation functions computed from after removing radial gradients are most cases well described by simple injection-...
