Background Brown−Vialetto−Van Laere syndrome (BVVLS) and Fazio−Londe disease (FLD) are rare neurological disorders presenting with pontobulbar palsy, muscle weakness respiratory insufficiency. Mutations in SLC52A2 (hRFVT-2) or SLC52A3 (hRFVT-3) genes can be responsible for these an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. The aim this study was to screen mutations among Indian families diagn...

Applying ultrasonic vibration in sheet metal forming can change its mechanism and improve formability. The uniaxial tensile bulging limit experimental setups were designed to study the relationship induced by excitation, results under different conditions analyzed. It was found that has effects on left right sides of diagram (FLD). Under same frequency, maximum increment major strain is about 9...

PURPOSE The effects of resistance training programs on strength, power, and military occupational task performances in women were examined. METHODS Untrained women aged (mean +/- SD) 23 +/- 4 yr were matched and randomly placed in total- (TP, N = 17 and TH, N = 18) or upper-body resistance training (UP, N = 18 and UH, N = 15), field (FLD, N = 14), or aerobic training groups (AER, N = 11). Two...

Abstract In this study, we propose a simple, cost-effective, and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography with both detection techniques such as diode-array fluorescence (HPLC-DAD-FLD) for the determination of nesfatin-1 in fetal bovine serum samples. The limit (LOD) quantification (LOQ) were set at satisfactory values range 0.22–0.35 mg mL −1 0.67–1.05 , respectively (at two different ...

Phenological synchrony influences many ecological processes. Recent climate change has altered the synchrony of phenology, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Here using in situ phenological records from Europe, we found that the standard deviation (SD, as a measure of synchrony) of first leafing day (FLD) and the SD of first flowering day (FFD) among local plants were signific...

OBJECTIVE To better understand the role of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in lipoprotein metabolism through the genetic and biochemical characterization of families carrying mutations in the LCAT gene. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirteen families carrying 17 different mutations in the LCAT gene were identified by Lipid Clinics and Departments of Nephrology throughout Italy. DNA analysis...

Solid bar microextraction (SBME), followed by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD), for the quantification of ochratoxin A in wheat and maize was developed. Ground wheat and maize grains were extracted with acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (79:20:1, v/v/v), followed by defatting with cyclohexane, and subjected to SBME-LC-FLD analysis. SBME devices were constructed by packi...

The P-factor for support practice of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) accounts soil conservation measures and leads to a significant reduction in modelled loss. However, practical application, is most neglected factor overall due high effort determining or lack input data. This study provides new method automatic derivation main cultivation direction from seed rows tramlines on agricultu...

The K-means Iterative Fisher (KIF) algorithm is a robust, unsupervised clustering algorithm applied here to the problem of image texture segmentation. The KIF algorithm involves two steps. First, K-means is applied. Second, the K-means class assignments are used to estimate parameters required for a Fisher linear discriminant (FLD). The FLD is applied iteratively to improve the solution. This c...
