A critical component in determining post-mining pit water quality is knowledge of groundwater fluxes, both as the pit fills and after steady state conditions have been reached. Simulations of the filling of an open pit in Crescent Valley, Nevada, were made to generate inputs for pit lake chemistry predictions. The simulations show that the water table recovery is most rapid immediately after pu...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying observation using the surface pattern as the main evaluation criterion and pit pattern diagnosis on the basis of magnifying observation using a dye in relation to the characteristics of colorectal tumors according to their morphologies. METHODS In this study, NBI observation and p...

The homeodomain protein Pit-1 cooperates with the basic-leucine zipper protein CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) to control pituitary-specific prolactin gene transcription. We previously observed that C/EBPalpha was concentrated in regions of centromeric heterochromatin in pituitary GHFT1-5 cells and that coexpressed Pit-1 redistributed C/EBPalpha to the subnuclear sites occupie...

We present recent diboson production measurements from the D0 experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider. The production of ZZ was observed using leptonic final states. Zγ → ννγ was observed and used to set the most stringent limits from a hadron collider on anomalous Zγγ and ZZγ trilinear gauge couplings (TGCs). WW events with leptonic final states and WW +WZ events with semi-leptonic final st...

In this study, a hybrid intelligent model has been designed to predict groundwater inflow to a mine pit during its advance. Novel hybrid method coupling artificial neural network (ANN) with genetic algorithm (GA) called ANN-GA, was utilised. Ratios of pit depth to aquifer thickness, pit bottom radius to its top radius, inverse of pit advance time and the hydraulic head (HH) in the observation w...

The homeodomain (HD) protein Pit-1 cooperates with the basic-leucine zipper (b-ZIP) protein CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) to control pituitary-specific prolactin (PRL) gene transcription. We previously observed that C/EBPα was concentrated in regions of centromeric heterochromatin in pituitary GHFT1-5 cells and that co-expressed Pit-1 redistributed C/EBPα to the subnuclear sites...

Peptide immunotherapy (PIT) offers realistic prospects for the treatment of allergic diseases, including allergic asthma. Much is understood of the behavior of naive T cells in response to PIT. However, treatment of patients with ongoing allergic disease requires detailed understanding of the responses of allergen-experienced T cells. CD62L expression by allergen-experienced T cells corresponds...

The usefulness of magnifying endoscopy was assessed by examining the extent to which a magnifying endoscope can provide images of pits and by analyzing the consistency of the pit patterns visualized by magnifying endoscopy with the pit patterns visible under a stereomicroscope. Study materials consisted of 83 cases of tumorous colorectal lesions. Under a magnifying endoscope, pits were visible ...

BACKGROUND Pavlovian processes are thought to play an important role in the development, maintenance and relapse of alcohol dependence, possibly by influencing and usurping ongoing thought and behavior. The influence of pavlovian stimuli on ongoing behavior is paradigmatically measured by pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT) tasks. These involve multiple stages and are complex. Whether incr...
