BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated changes in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in major depression. AIMS We investigated the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in the prefrontal cortex in depression. METHOD Immunohistochemistry to localise CAMs in post-mortem tissue from 20 subjects with major depression and 20 controls,...

Stringent memory access and search speed requirements are two of the main bottlenecks in wire speed processing. Most viable search engines are implemented in content addressable memories (CAMs). CAMs have high operational speed advantage over other memory search algorithms. However, this performance advantage comes with a price of higher silicon area, and higher power consumption. Ternary CAMs ...

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) alpha continuous air monitor (CAM) performance was evaluated to determine if CAMS could detect accidental releases of transuranic radioactivity from the underground repository. Anomalous alpha spectra and poor background subtraction were observed and attributed to salt deposits on the CAM sampling filters. Microscopic examination of salt laden sampling filters...

Tropopause folds are the main mechanism underlying stratosphere-to-troposphere transport and influence tropospheric composition weather systems by triggering convection. Here, we present global climatology of tropopause in Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis atmospheric products time period f...

OBJECTIVE We report active treatment group differences on response and remission rates and changes in anxiety severity at weeks 24 and 36 for the Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS). METHOD CAMS youth (N = 488; 74% ≤ 12 years of age) with DSM-IV separation, generalized, or social anxiety disorder were randomized to 12 weeks of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), sertraline (SRT),...

Tumor progression has been linked to changes in the stromal environment. Myofibroblasts are stromal cells that are often increased in tumors but their contribution to cancer progression is not well understood. Here, we show that the secretomes of myofibroblasts derived from gastric cancers [cancer-associated myofibroblasts (CAMs)] differ in a functionally significant manner from those derived f...

Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease affecting around 235 million people worldwide. Conventional medications in asthma are not curative and patients have significant concerns regarding their side-effects. Consequently, many asthma patients turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for a more holistic approach to care. We systematically reviewed the available evidence on the...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have essential roles in forming functional networks in the nervous system. CAMs can be classified into several families including immunoglobulin super family (IgSF), cadherin family, integrins and selections [1]. Neuroplastins are transmembrane glycoprotein’s that belong to IgSF. Neuroplastin65 (NP65) and neuroplastin55 (NP55) are produced by NPTN gene by alternat...

This paper describes the implementation and the validation of a digital controller driving a fourbar mechanism with high alternate motion masses. The control uses a mixed explorative and predictive technique based on off-line model of weight, inertia and friction. Particular care has been devoted to adjust an hybrid (analogdigital) system for the feedback signal acquiring. The control proved to...

Multiple risk variants of schizophrenia have been identified by Genome-wide association studies (GWAS). As a complement for GWAS, previous pathway-based analysis has indicated that cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) pathway might be involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. However, less replication studies have been reported. Our objective was to investigate the association between CAMs pathw...
